Still the best handheld gaming device I've owned. Unfortunately, it entered the market just as mobile gaming began to hit its stride.
I lived through the nascency of mobile gaming in 2007-2008 when decent games were far and in-between, being developed off the $.99 model that eventually gave way to the free to play/freemium model.
I've all but stopped playing mobile games since, but the iPhone I always have on me would take care of that if I were inclined to play.
I was never a huge PSP user although it did much of what people use smartphones for now before they were ubiquitous, minus the all important phone/text/social media.
The 3DS saw extremely reduced use after the first year, partly because of the PSV. Still a good game platform, just not a daily use device as it's really only for Nintendo style games.
As much as I liked the PSV (still like it), I simply had no reason to carry it around anywhere since I was really only using it for PSV games and the odd classic PSP/PSOne game. That right there essentially made it an orphaned device as it never became a regular part of my daily life the way the "Vita" was envisioned by its developers. I had an iPhone and I still have one as that is my daily use do all device.
The PSV's fate was essentially sealed simply due to the installed user base following the first year.
