Forums - Sony - Sony: Dedicated Fans Keeping Vita from Getting Shelved

I'm not a big portable gaming fan, so PSV is still priced higher than what I'd pay for it, but I'm happy they're able to keep it alive, because I tried it and it's the first portable I found comfortable to use for its form factor, size and command layout (besides having an excellent screen), and considering than in a portable you caan't change these features, it's very important. When I tried PSP, apparently similar, but smaller, and with the analog stick in a lower position, it gave me hand cramps. I tried 3DS too and I didn't like the screen at all, I also find its form factor a little awkward for some fast-paced games like racers, although the dual screen can be very handy for some games, considering the small screen area portables have (but also PSV rear touch pad can help about this issue, to avoid having to obstruct the screen's view with your fingers).
Anyhow, I stopped gaming on my smartphone a few weeks after I started, after Drag Racing bored me and Real Racing 3 policies and flaws pissed me off a lot, and for most games the controls offered by smartphones are just not enough, not to mention that having a cheap model, I'll have to root it and move some system apps from internal memory to SD if I want to install some other games on it (the first installs I did probably went well because before updates, OS and system apps used less space), and finally on a small screen smartphone, games that require a lot of touch commands are just unplayable, so I wish PSV the best, because it's currently the best candidate to persuade me to do more portable gaming.

You dont need a 32GB card. Thats only for digital heavy people who want to have everything on the card at once.

Something like an 8 Gig is more than enough. Any excess data you can deposit on your PS3 or PC for safekeeping so you always have enough room.

Really, at this point, with the mega pack you get Wipeout 2048 and a load of other games including LBP Vita and a 8Gig Memory card for 26 pounds. Wipeout alone is worth that. Heck you pay more for a copy of mario kart 7 on the 3DS and you get no extra games or a memory card.

As for germany sales, those are localised and random. Its not the same. Any corner of the street shop can have a clearance sale at random times. Its not something you can count on.


Ha, 8 gigs aint enough, I buy most retail games physical but I've already filled up my 32 gb card on my 3DS.


You're not reading everything im saying. You can deposit games on your PS3 or PC. Just stash the games you arent actively playing on there and withdraw them when you want to play them. There is no need for large memory cards on the Vita (besides convenience). You can do all this wirelessly aswell.

I dont think you can do this with the 3DS though.



Well I can store stuff on multiple SD cards,file copying and storing is simple with the 3DS but why would I buy a PS3 and then buy a Vita?



Well $250 was a very steep price to ask. Even now at $200 it seems pricey, especially when you consider that memory cards are still pricey post price drop and a single new title costs ~$40.

Nothing about the Vita is cheap.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Only if you like the Vita exclusive games. Which is usually the main reason for buying any console or handheld.

Edit: Unless of course, you do not like the games or find the library to thin for your taste.

Cmon... are doing this on purpose? For the 3rd time PS3 OR PC! You do have a PC right?



Ya, gotta say that all though PS consoles are the Sony fans bread and butter, Vita being shelved wouldn't help their "internetz forum arguments" very much :P



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

The vita library is pretty much on the PS3. I dont really like Sony's output on it either or their design philosophy.

I'd buy one for japanese 3rd party games and Soul Sacrifice/Gravity Rush/Freedom Wars thats pretty much it.

But Im trying to compell everyone to really think about what they're trying to argue, so the things I say are to push them to that point.

So no, the Vita is rather expensive

By asking a question that you already have an answer to? Its all about different opinions in the end. There is no expensive console or handheld if you really want it but a lot of excuses if you don't.



I feel like this is one of those stories they mean to be a positve, but sorta comes off as a negative.
