I found the last generation to be a disappointment with the exception of the PSP. Honestly, it was the best handheld I have ever owned and one of the best systems overall. I was super pumped for the Vita and now I wouldn't bother with it if you gave me one for free. It has nothing to do with mobile gaming and everything to do with Sony's numerous blunders. It's almost as if they did no market research and have virtually no clue as to what PSP fans like myself wanted.
This article lists all of my biggest gripes with a couple exceptions. First, they launched far too late when they should have beaten the 3DS to the market. It's not like they had to worry about cannibalizing the PSP's declining sales. Seriously, why did they wait so long to launch it? Sony waited until they were no longer relevant to portable gamers. Secondly, their mishandling of PSP in its twilight years didn't help either as it damaged their position in the market, especially the PSP Go fiasco. Finally, it might be fairly minor but the very name Vita was terrible, why not the PlayStation Handheld?
