Why is PSV so high in the polls?

This poll is really skewed to the modern handhelds, making it not very credible. I can understand the 3DS, it had an amazing year last year. But Vita? It's hard for me to think of many great exclusive games to play on it. Does it matter that it's exclusive I hear you ask? Yes, of course, why would I play an inferior port of a PS3 game when I can just play it on a PS3?

Is there any other reason I'm not aware of why it scores so high? I admit to being a bit ignorant when it comes to the Vita. I've looked for good exclusives on the Vita though, couldn't find many to consider a purchase.


Well clearly theres people who think like you do, but about the other systems.

I looked very hard on 3ds but couldnt find a game that looked interesting to me. (there was MH, but didnt see a significant difference over MH unite which I got on vita so it didnt justify the purchase of another system).

Vita does have very few games but among the few, theres more which I like than 3ds' massive library.

PSP has the same problem as 3ds I think. It had the big franchises but because the hardware was so limited, mainly due to the lack of the second analogue stick, a lot of the games were watered down. I dont look at the name of the game, I look at the game itself.

Having said that, even the vita suffers from that problem. For example FIFA has no way near the same amount of features the PS3 version has, and uncharted doesnt have online.

And the reason why no-one goes for old handhelds is because theres an emulator for all of them on android. Its questionable whether this fact should influence the vote, but it most likely does.
