| daredevil.shark said: Problem is PS Vita lacks identity. 3DS has mario and nintendo's popular games. PS Vita is nor a proper handheld nor a portable home console. It has a lot of games. But their release was inconsistent. Plus Sony put too many gimmicks in it. A relatively cheap one with R2 / L2 and "consistent" game release should have saved it. |
This. It's all I've been trying to say.
--Plus--
Vita should have been a more focused handheld, but they wanted to implement everything at once: a social portable to compete with Smartphones (yet not doing it very well); shouldn't have focused so much on the "console experience" but releasing more stuff and more simple stuff like Nintendo does; touch screen/oled screen is okay, but too many gimmicks like the rear touch screen, using AR/acelerometer, and the glorified cross-play that looks almost discarded by now, I doubt they can still make it work with PS Now.
Basically Vita could have worked, in a world without so many techonology right now. Instead, it lacked the focus of what people want a gaming handheld device for: consistent release of games without gimicks and including more 2 shoulder buttons would have worked better.
