    My first ever console. Got it back in December 2013. It has a special place in my heart. I always thought that handheld consoles were better because you could take them with you wherever, but a lot of games didn't get a good port imo. You see a game on PS3 or PS4 look real good, then see it in PS Vita looks completely different. At the end of the day, I think this console could have been supported better

      For PSP though, yes it is. But for non-Sony consoles it's pretty bad. Of course you can run pretty much flawlessly games from the 8 and 16 bits era but Nintendo 64 games are hit or miss, and the Vita can't run PS2 or GC emulators.
      Any decent Android handheld would do better when it comes to emulation, and they can be bought new for the price of a used Vita.

    For a PS Vita in 2022, a mid range ARM chip with SteamOS-levels of support would be a crazy cool device for Sony specific games. Imagine if they could bring all the great emulators in house with official support from PS1 through to early PS4 games. I’d say a 5.5-6 inch 720p screen would be perfect for this use case.
    The big issue for Sony portables was always the business model, in that Nintendo always had the mobile console market. With modern subscription services, a ~$250 device with a tie-in to a higher PS Plus tier that gives access to all of these older games would be a killer value while also keeping the upkeep costs down and subsidizing the device cost over time.

It would require them to shrink the PS5 down to a portable form factor which can't be done. That's kind of the disadvantage of consoles that we have to deal with.

      When midrange smartphones have greater than 1080p displays, an ARM device should easily support 60+ fps on 1080p while getting good battery life. The only reason why Steam Deck had to be stingy w/ its screen was because it is basically a shrunken down PC, so it can't be as efficient.

    I got on the Vita train around 2015-2016, but I love to collect it and since then I have the OLED, OLED 3G, OLED CoD edition, 2 black slims, neon orange slim and aqua blue slim....oh and also a couple of Playstation TVs. A shame Sony decided to act like it never existed, lack of support and proprietorial and expensive cards was it downfall, but the awesome community keeps it alive and loved.

    I had a PS Vita on launch day back in 2012. Saved so much money for it I was obsessed with PSP and CFW when I was a kid. It was an OK console, I ended up selling it some years later. Once Sony dropped support the console was flooded with JRPGs. Western AAA publishers slowly pulled out. I just recently bought another Vita used to mod

    I would still use my PlayStation Vita but its 64GB memory card, which I spent £60 on in late 2015, died last year! Considering I didn’t get my first iPad until 2019 and I’m still on the fence over getting an Apple Watch, I found the PlayStation Vita to be a great device, not just for gaming, but also a smart device I could use when I couldn’t turn to my iPhone! Due to the limited data allowance I had on my iPhone at the time, I was able to insert my backup PAYG SIM into my Vita and post on Facebook without draining my iPhone’s data allowance, its front facing camera meant that although I didn’t yet have an iPhone with one, I could Skype without holding my iPhone back to front! It was also the first device I EVER owned to have an OLED screen! I still have this trusty Vita today, but I really must look into that mod that replaces the SIM slot with a micro SD one, not only is my proprietary 64GB card dead, but also:
    1. I like to keep my systems as authentic AS POSSIBLE (so if possible, I’d like to keep the original BIOS and still access the PlayStation Store)
    2. Most of my Vita games are physical
    3. My country’s 3G network may be turned off next year
    Either way, stay cool out there!

    If Sony were to work on a PS Vita two project, they should look at the Steam Deck as Valve has expressed their openness to others taking inspiration from the Steam Deck to create their own handheld. Sony should look closely at what is great about the Steam Deck and improve where it needs improvement. The Steam Deck is proof that handhelds can and have reached their new evolution in gaming and are able to run AAA games quite well all things considered. The sacrifices in graphics aren’t as drastic as the Nintendo Switch for third party games and it’s amazing. Would absolutely love to see a PS Vita 2 as powerful or possibly more powerful than the Steam Deck. It would be a massive win

    I use mine a lot more now after modding it a few years ago. I got a slim model back in mid 2014. Played my 3DS far more but even with both modded, the Vita gives me more of a modded Wii vibe in terms of ease and freedom. Costs more since you basically need a SD2Vita card but aside that and much cheaper microSD cards, i've had no reason to go after the nice handhelds that are coming out nowadays. Sure they're far more powerful now especially with the newer Ryzen based models, but when they cost as much as my decently powered laptop, i'll grab that and or my Vita/3DS any day.

    Already have a Switch but interested in going cross-play between my PS4 Pro and maybe a Vita to grab a bunch of JRPG's as RPG's, including more oldschool turn based, they are my favourite genre.
    I'm not looking anything fucking groundbreaking graphics-wise, but just something that has a few good hours of life in it that I can link my profile to and grind out games I otherwise wouldn't at home, as my main at home game on PS4 is Final Fantasy XIV and it's endgame Savage Raiding at the min.
    Thank you for making this breakdown of the good and bad points of the system! Also my local CEX has a bunch of refurbished A and S grade models of the Vita, including slimmer ones I think that are not jailbroken and pretty reasonable at around £110 from what I remember with a 24 month warranty!
