How much of a waste is the PS Vita?

LOL Vita, got no games. Cows have their jimmies rustled. lol

Multiplat indies I can play on xbox 360 or PC don't count brah.

@Bigboi500: I as well wanted to get one but no games available. To be honest it's not a very powerful system so that's probably why people decided to pass. I'm leaning more towards the new gaming tablet that was recently released although the tablet isn't that powerful either. Personally I want a beast of a machine in the palm of my hand and these portable devices are old tech.

Having $200 in my pocket >>> Not having $200 in my pocket,

you are right. Sony should stick with home consoles and Nintendo should stick with portables is what I gathered from your posts

But I already have a PC and a 360. I don't have a Vita.

Yeah, what do I do with that $200 I saved from not buying a Vita. So many options. lol

Dunno, I quite like my Vita, so I hardly find it a Waste, although I wish it was better supported.

At its worst, it is a platform with very few specific games made for it natively. But it does have a fairly big library of PsP games and PS1-2 games.

Since my tastes have changed alot since the PS2 days I find it a fairly nice Little system. And it likely has the best controls of any handheld Ive ever owned.

Ultimately? Yeah I wish it was better supported, but I don't find it a Waste. It just have potential that it will never achieve.

Well i love it. what other handheld lets me play child of light, rogue legacy and soon to be shovel knight on the go?

I agree that it is a wasted oppurtiniy . I think it is the best handheld hardware ever but it is pretty much empty. I mean if you made a list on good games that uses its potential it would be top 5 games on vita.

Vita is an amazing system!!

Handheld need a tighter market with quality over quantity, and vita delivers just this!!

The system itself is beautiful, connects seamlessly with the PS4 and is still sold out to this day!!

I would say that depends on your taste in games. Its suits me just fine. I play it much more than my forgotten 3DS that blinks that lonely blue light at me when I happen to glance at it. I honestly don't care that most games are ports that are graphically inferior to my console. I like the fact that I can take console like experiences with me on the go. Haters be damned. Also, the agreement that it has no games is such a fallacy. On my Vita right now I have Dragons Crown, Terraria, Muramasa, FFX and X-2, Danganrompa, Hot Shots (still play the crap out of this game), Lone Survivor, and Injustice. All can be played on the road and offer close to identical experiences to consoles. Hell, I play my Vita more than any system that I own... So IMHO no waste at all.

Its a waste of $200 plus tax+ the expensive memory cards.

@Bigboi500: I'm sad to say I agree. I bought mine at launch, and enjoyed uncharted, gravity rush, kz mercenary, hell even that resistance game!! I play a lot of my old favorites from psp and ps1 on it. But wtf? How about real AAA support. Not ports and Indies.

Sony need more exclusive developers for the long haul. The indy market is just that, compliant with international trade of course :).

@alcapello: bottom line? Their abandoning of vita isn't "for gamers". Proof that they like any other company doesn't care about us

To be honest I just think it is a in a market at a time when handhelds do many many things. To get people to purchase said handheld where its mainstay is gaming is very difficult. Its an already flooded market of mobile devices whether its a tablet, phone, or ultrabook, gaming handhelds just really don't have a chance. Smart phones with the huge market of $1 games and free to play that take up no space coupled with the capability to make a phone call, text message, and have the abundance of other apps, places a huge counter weight one whatever the vita or 3DS attempts to bring to the table. Its the market more than the device itself. Its just bad timing, and really its probably the end for vita and the 3ds itself. They will either have to become a smart phone or just say goodbye. There is no real place for them at this time.

VITA means Death

The Vita is for people who like Japanese games (which is pretty much what every "traditional" handheld has been anyway.) and Indie games on the go. Sony put their currently relevant biggest franchises on the Vita already and that's that. They didn't even do that well because people don't want scaled down Playstation IP's. Nintendo conditioned their fanbase from the beginning to play their IP's on both console and handheld, Sony didn't. Only IP's you'll be seeing on the Vita are what Sony Japan does like Freedom Wars and Oreshika.

The dedicated handheld market is dying day by day anyway (Nintendo has one more handheld cycle left maximum) as more people switch to mobile so, it's really not worth it for Sony to invest millions on big games like Killzone Mercenary anymore.

If you don't like it don't buy a Vita or sell your system because it's not changing.

i would buy one ifi t were around 100 bucks the specs suck and the memory is expensive
