The ps vita didn’t fail, Sony failed it

"The PS Vita - Its like a rare flower" - MetalJesus, 2016.

The problem with this system is that sony gave up on it very quickly. Almost within a year.
The main issue with sales was the price of the storage media. Having to pay over half the price of the console for some of the higher end options was ridiculous.

here we are in 2019 and the 64 gb is still 100 bucks

Kind of wish Rockstar would have made of GTA game specifically for the Vita like they did with the PSP

Just discovered metal jesus videos...my 12 hour shifts pass soo much faster thanks

Mistake in the video: I have a Japanese Vita, and the online store is not the Japanese store. It's the same region as my PS account (New Zealand).

Time really does fly... I remember that this video was one of the reasons that got me into buying a PlayStation Vita... And I couldn't be happier about it since the thing has become, alongside the Nintendo DS, my favorite handheld game system ever (also, thanks to this video I met and started following you, MJR, and Kelsey too, so I'm pretty fond of it). So yeah, even if it's obvious by now, getting a PlayStation Vita will always be worth it, so if anyone reading me has the chance of obtaining one, don't doubt about it and do it, I believe you won't regret it at all. 😊

Its so sad how a amazing portable gaming machine like the Vita gets the cold shoulder from Sony. If you are just going to ignore it why not just do right by the community and just open source its development. We can create and port things that take full advantage of its hardware ourselves!

[EricaGriffin]

Thank you for this video! My husband and I are finally joining the Vita clan. We just ordered our Japanese import units.

we need more people advertising how good the vita is. Yes it has flaws ... and yes it did not sell very well, but man is it an awesome system. it doesn't deserve the flak it gets.

Hacked Ps Vita + SD2VITA = ultimate handheld

[MrNiceguy]

No mention of LittleBigPlanet Vita? It took everything that the PS3 games had, and improved on the concept and still managed to maintain the same level of graphics at 30 FPS.

I was on the fence about buying one for the longest time. This past weekend, I walked past a second hand original model with the OLED screen for USD100 in really good condition. I had to buy it. Funny how things play out different from what you expect. Uncharted, which I thought I'd love, instead irritated me. Wipeout 2048 demo - which wasn't even on my radar- blew me away. Playing Killzone Mercenary is as smooth and intuitive as I thought it would be. I'm having so much fun looking for game deals now. And the OLED screen is amazing. I bought a new 2018 LCD IPS panel phone that I really like. The fact that this 2011 dinosaur tech handily outperforms my 2018 phone screen is impressive.

[NitroZUES]

Found this video in 2021 it’s crazy how much more complicated the Vita has gotten since the digital store drama. Regardless I still bought an Oled model and am excited to jump in! crazy how these videos are still relevant and helpful years later for new buyers/collectors

[redpanda]

You can tell that they totally have different taste on games.

[pushlive]

11:42 for when they start to talk about games if anyone is interested

[gavin-ppdi]

I kinda hate the fact that the Vita is dead, the consoles are still expensive for a system with little to none latest releases

[AT-yndm]

It's a shame that the PS Vita failed, I would really like Sony to still make handhelds, though. The Vita was an excellent system, Sony just didn't do a very good job at marketing it and the memory cards were overpriced.
