I think me and Ethomaz were both massively disappointed when we heard it wouldn't also be a phone. Seriously...that was where the market was headed. Sony really missed the boat with that.
Imagine if the current Vita was a phone...it had a phone plan...a games plan...an android marketplace...4g...free with 2 year contract.
Damn Sony. You only get it wrong like 10% of the time, but when you do, you make a huge mistake.

As terrible as the name is, it's about games or lack there of.

I always thought that people didn't like the Ricky Martin reference lol

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

I get it, you want to be cute and symbolic, going all Latin and shit, but seriously, it's still a stupid name.

What if we called the PS4, "Playstation Amour" because it's French for "love"? It's stupid, and people don't understand it, so they don't buy it.

i just found out why nintendo DS is called DS... did that stop me from buying it? i bet most people who owns it doesnt know that DS stand for dual screen.... did it stop them for buying it? no...

gameboy SP... means special.... did people know about that?

wii?

360 in xbox?

It's selling poorly because of a lack of POPULAR games.

Vita name isn't that bad. It is odd, but not bad. It is doing poorly due to not having many interesting titles that people want to buy a handheld for.

3DS with Streetpass and interesting handheld games is very interesting. That is why it will be the #1 videogame console this generation.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
