It's a 2010 portable platform with no future support in the Western markets.
There is no impassioned argument to be made for such a device, but:
1. They can be picked up dirt cheap, offset by the fact that proprietary Vita memory cards not only remain overpriced, but are now overpriced far disproportionately to existing NAND memory market prices. The solution is to stick to chip/retail copies of games.
2. Back catalog. Real simple. If there are more than a handful of games (most or all of which should be available cheap as they are old titles), you would have a library of old games playable on a piece of hardware that goes for very little currently.
If one isn't familiar with the back catalog and can't be bothered to look up which fit within their personal preferences, then they should not be buying a Vita.
If you were just looking for a new portable gaming device, you would be better off with a Switch, even with the current limited catalog, assuming any of Nintendo's IPs are within your tastes, which you would know by now without any outside opinions.
