Glad for them to finally confirm over 160M. Question is how much over. I'll talk with Machina on what we should do with our PS2 figure. I'll have an article up in a little bit

I post and adjust the VGChartz hardware estimates, with help from Machina.

PSP had some fantastic games from LocoRoco, Patapon, SOCOM, Wipeout, Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal, Syphon Filter, Resistance, Killzone, Ratchet & Clank alongside Secret Agent Clank, Daxter, 2 major God of War games, and even an exclusive Ace Combat.

Vita on the other you could count on your hand how many major titles it hand. I certainly loved games like Wiepout 2048, Gravity Rush, Uncharted Golden Abyss, and Teraway, but it still wildly pales in comparison to the PSP. Not to mention you HAD to buy the stupidly expensive proprietary storage. So Sony didn’t do the Vita any favors.

But like Nintendo has pulled off, a dedicated handheld with a dedicated library is a thing of the past.

The Vita failed for a lot of reasons, and one of them is that people don't want compromised versions of the high profile games, they want either a new thing or a proper high profile game.

People are buying those compromised games on Switch. Vita failed for the AT&T model. High price for the time. Poor marketing. Sony not supporting it and high memory card prices. 3DS stumbled as well due to a high price. They reduced it.

Sony and Nintendo are not comparable, their games have very different kinds of appeal, this is a horrible comparison.

Switch is Nintendo's only platform, there is no better version of their games to choose from, Switch gets Nintendo new mainline games, also their approach is completely different from Sony, they do not have games pushing the industry technically foward that benefit way more from being on stronger hardware, their games are already way simpler and less demanding, which wouldn't appeal nearly the same by having higher quality versions, as Sony games would not appeal nearly the same by having lower quality versions.

PSP had a lot of PS2 and even some Wii ports. PSP sold well.
