Okay we all know "Vita"means Life in latin right? Well apparently "Vita" means DEAD here in North America.... I don't get it. Why did it fail??? When I first watched the Vita trailer in 2011 I WAS FULL OF HYPE! I wanted it more than anything in the world, I was willing to sell my Wii and Xbox to get it. but what made it fail?    Let's take the 3DS and Vita... Mobile gaming came in and took a BITE out of the Vita, SO DID the 3DS but the 3DS is still selling well. Lack of 1st party games? 3DS has all the good support, but SO DID the Vita in the first year. The slow launch of the Vita?? Well the 3DS also had a slow launch too but it picked up. I don't think it was the name either. PS Vita didn't have a confusing name like the Wii U did. There's also a theory about "Vita's games are too expensive" .... If that was the case, then why didn't the PSP have that problem? I'm pretty sure the PSP back then was a powerful piece of hardware and the games were just as expensive to make for the system. It's like a big mystery. Another theory says "No one wants a home console experience on the go" I LOVED that experience! I loved the hell out of that experience when I had my PSP. I honestly don't mind having a home console experience on the go. What do you think made the PS Vita a failure?  I think it's absolutely disgusting how Sony ignores it and feeds it to indy devs. It makes me so sad how a PEREECT handheld go to waste. I still look at my Vita and see how gorgeous it is, but it still hurts how it's not being supported :/  But try answering the "Vita games are expensive" theory. Why didn't that happen to the PSP when it was expensive to make PSP games?? What made it a failure? :(
