I don't think anyone else should consider going into the handheld market anymore. Only Nintendo will succeed in that market and even then, the market has and will decline. I'm glad the Vita was created just for the fact that I can do remote play with my PS4 and play some console games on a handheld but regardless of my opinion, it has been a commercial failure to date.

How could they support more than one console in the generation when they cant even offer a good support to Xbone ?

Microsoft has much less games coming to Xbone than Sony has to PS4 even if Sony support 3 consoles at the same time, that's insane to think they could make a handheld.

PS3, PS4... what's the name of the third one they are supporting? PS2? PSP?

they are hung up on fart glass, I mean smart glass. I doubt it after the joke zune became and how they are trying to focus on the mobile market with phones and tablets.

Would love to play KOTOR on handheld, and Shenmue.

But im hoping one day, by some miracle, they will come out on Vita :P

Though I think my chances are going to be better served hoping they release an Android version of KOTOR :(


Buy an iphone/ipod/ipad....


Buy a £400+ item to play a £3 game? I hope your not in charge of the accounts in your household!

I completley agree with this. as dominating as nintendo is in that market, that market is dying and not worth anyone elses time trying to put their foot in.

an awesome handheld called Vita.

Sony has more first party games coming on Vita next year than microsoft has on Xbone. That says a lot
