PS Vita is the greatest handheld of all time if you ask me. People don't know what they're missing.

[SuperJumpReviews]

I don't think vita gets the recognition it deserves.

Thanks, but the answer is still NO...

REASONS TO WHY BUY A VITA:
1- PERSONA 4 GOLDEN
2- PERSONA 4 GOLDEN
3- PERSONA 4 GOLDEN


damn I wish I had a Vita T_T

$200 for a powerful handheld console with a library that consists of 98.5% indie crap games, 1% Crappy AAA ports and .5% actual good games. Don't waste your money.

I'm loving the handheld a lot and I do really enjoy the 3DS but they are so different apart that gives them ability to compete basically.

Virtues Last Reward (on 3DS but since that version has a critical save destroying bug and worse visuals and framerate, it's not worth getting)

Lumines Electronic Symphony
Little Big Planet Vita

There's PSP and PS1 games as well but I won't clutter up this already long list with those. Many of those games are enhanced by the Vita's second analog.

No one wants a Vita because all the good games stay in Japan, thats why.

But some of them are starting to make their way here, like FreedomWars, Project Diva F 2nd, Neptunia PP and so on! :3
Definitly gonna get them for my vita to! (Alredy did!)

[SuperGamer]

Its quite sad how people hate the Vita, its an amazing device with amazing games. It doesn't matter about the sales, it matters about the games. It does it's job in an awesome way. May the Vita live on! 

[EWToonsInColor]

Both the Wii U and PS Vita are my favorite machines so far this generation. Both deserve much, MUCH more love than they get. 

[WonderMousePC]

So Sony are paying youtube channels as well as Microsoft now?

[neHundredPercent]

There are exclusives for the vita.. people think the vita "has no games" when in reality it has plenty! Uncharted, Killzone, LBP and others like gravity rush and Persona 4 Golden.. and if youre with PS+ you even get games for free.. so theres even more of a reason to buy one.. it's totally worth getting one.. personally i love my vita and always will.

[curvedwhale]

You guys know the vita sold out in Japan and its starting to sell out in the United States too.

[sariotails]

Can everyone stop hating on the Vita? It's a very good system. Most of you people just appreciate the 3DS more because you've had it first. I mean, I love Nintendo. Always have, always will. But you guys need to be open to other systems. Look, I know that many of Sony's handheld systems have failed. (Especially the PSPGo. l0l) But please, giv ethe PS Vita a chance. You won't regret it. c:

[BotGeorge]

I've had my vita for a year, I LOVE IT, you must get it, theres so many great games coming out

[KevinGeneFeldman]

This ad didn't convince me, because it basically boiled down too..."These ports are awesome, wouldn't you like to play them on the go?"...No, I really wouldn't. I'd prefer to buy a VITA if it had it's own personality and wasn't just this expensive, cramped machine relegated to getting games that feel like they are supposed to be on consoles but aren't, so they have to be downgraded and half assed on a portable. Like Assassins Creed or Uncharted.

[keiferblow]

how much is a vita at future shop or EB games? and do u gotta have wifi to buy things from the network cuz i would be buying threw my ps3

[DavidSAcero]

I want to buy it but i dont know if the games take up to mucha space if u buy them digitally because i have ps plus so thats my main games provider for the ps vita but am just wanna buy the 16 GB card and the ps vita but i dont want to later on buy a 50 GB or something like that to play games, thanks for reading and please tell me what u think about it (especially if u have ONE)👍

[ChloeJohnson]

Seriously the Vita is the best console I own, I may be on a whim here, but don't you buy a console for great games?
Remember when people where hating over the 3ds, but now most people have them... now they are complaining about the ps vita, the PSvita is much better then the 3ds, mainly due to Persona 4, gravity rush, and many more amazing games!
If you are wondering what to get between a PS4, Psvita or 3ds, if you don't have any interest in pokemon, Get a Vita, if you like pokemon then... well its MF pokemon, but you're missing out on Persona 4 golden!

[MajinRomulus]

Why didn't you mention Gravity Rush or Uncharted? What the hell?
