I think I ended up buying three of them. Launch, the second one that I think was silver and a third, but maybe I never did get that third one. I know I at least bought two.
Yes PSP has better games. Sony litteraly let Vita die.I liked the psp way more than the vita. Just better games overall I think.
Competition is too heavy for a Sony handheld.
I still don't get how they not only screwed Vita at launch with its pricing and proprietary memory cards, but doubled down on it and left it for dead two years later.PSP ruled. Wish Sony made a new handheld rather than a VR headset.
It's pretty amazing. That's two consoles compared to just one handheld.It's hard to believe that the PSP outsold the SNES and Jaguar combined.
What a beast
Yep psp was king, Even the vita was great, not sure why Sony gave up, now is the perfect time for vita 2, there is some really powerful mobile chips on the horizon, with ps plus, they could have a very exciting product.
Piracy most likely removed all of Sony’s desire to support handhelds.Hardware was great but I seem to recall the software attach rate was terrible due to piracy and home brew. Especially towards the end.
Having a ps1.5 in your hands was unreal.
More than I expected.
I loved the PSP as a product, but I only really used it for Remote Play and that was rarely.
I watched the first half of Naruto on PSP while taking a shit though.

In the same device. Make it dock for TV play too. Do it Sony, before Nintendo beats you to the punch. (Or not, I don't really care which does it first. Pimax Portal doesn't count)I want both.

Not checking, but wonder how many posts in this thread before someone takes this as a sign that "Sony should totally do a new dedicated handheld".
What do you mean pricing? $250 was praised when announced because everyone thought $300 or more. It also was the same price as the weaker 3DS. Nintendo had to take a big hit to drop the price.I still don't get how they not only screwed Vita at launch with its pricing and proprietary memory cards, but doubled down on it and left it for dead two years later.
What I remember back then is that people didn't like the price, it was just a less worse reception than 3DS in that regard, but Nintendo then slashed to 170$ six months later because sales were tepid.What do you mean pricing? $250 was praised when announced because everyone thought $300 or more.

Proprietary memory cards sucked but they did standard on PSP and people used those to hack it.
People were positive on the vita pricing at launchI still don't get how they not only screwed Vita at launch with its pricing and proprietary memory cards, but doubled down on it and left it for dead two years later.
PS5 has quite a lot of stuff that the others don't do (the SSD was ahead of its time in 2020, haptics, triggers, VR2, etc) i really don't get the criticism here.Back when Sony continued innovating. That device felt ahead of its time, and when you hacked it to run all kinds of custom applications you basically got a taste of the future of apps as we know it today.
