Never loved a handheld as much as this. I have mini's, PSP, PS1 and a few PSMobile games too. Like my Original Gameboy I can see me playing this for the next 20 years! As it does over the next 2-3 years will Sony keep the validation severs going as I can't back up my content without a connection.
Oh and I have dozens of physical and digital Vita games which will take me a life time to finish!
With the above said I always buy the Nintendo handhelds too and only ever ditched them for PSP and Vita... With Sony out though...
If I had the cash is buy it. I'm still in the odd minority here in the west that loves and plays the Vita more than anything else! Really looking forward to the game too:-)
Very Western views being shown here, as might be expected. Despite its failure in the a West the machine has done OK in Japan and Asia. My question is has it done well enough to warrant another generation of handhelds? I live in hope that Sony do go for Vita 2.0 but with a Japanese focus, the machine could then continue to serve the niche I'm part of which loves the backward compatibility, indie titles, remote play, japanese titles and seems to be the only one craving PS Now on Vita!
Come on Sony, roll the dice again, more conservatively perhaps but do it:-)
I'm so confused by this. In the EU and NA the Vita has been a disappointment, no doubt. In Japan and Asia it has been a modest hit, right? With the system a part fail and part win why would they suddenly relegate the system to legacy status?
Seems to me Sony have invested the pennies not had the return theywanted but can now sit back and take the money from Japan and third party titles in EU/NA. It would surely be worse financially to scrap the system?
Personally with nothing more to lose Sony will throw the odd cheap title at the system, keep the Indies coming, port where they see a return (Resi) and have many Japanese titles come across from third parties.
They may make a cheaper variant eventually but for now the 2000 is here to stay and the Vita itself for a few years yet.

So much Vita in the charts. Great it's broke the 5million mark in Japan too. Seals support for a while yet:-)
