About this deal

As one of Sony's flagship products, many of their first-party developers had put more focus on games for that system rather than the Vita as a result. Shortly after, reports of development kits for the handheld had reportedly already been shipped to numerous video game developers including both first-party and third-party developers to start making games for the device, [23] a report later confirmed by Mortal Kombat Executive Producer Shaun Himmerick. However, Nintendo is always a company to do the unexpected, so we may even see a significant update to the software by the time the Switch OLED model is out. Nintendo releases maybe 1 game a year that’s really worth getting and now that the PS5 and XSX are out their standards look really low.

In September 2015, Yoshida stated that Sony had no current plans for a Vita successor, stating that "climate is not healthy for now because of the huge dominance of mobile gaming.

The PlayStation Vita ( PS Vita, or Vita) is a handheld game console developed and marketed by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The console is the successor to the PlayStation Portable, and a part of the PlayStation brand of gaming devices; as part of the eighth generation of video game consoles, it primarily competed with the Nintendo 3DS.

We are taking the first steps in the industry to actively replace product lines with reclaimed parts. Since its launch, digital-only releases have slowly become more prominent, partially in an effort to reduce production costs for release on the platform's comparatively smaller user-base, and partially due to the influx smaller-scale indie mobile phone games that have always been digital-only releases. Despite being nearly a decade old, Sony's underrated handheld console offers features that even Nintendo's new console is missing. John Koller, the former vice president of marketing at Sony, also believed that the Vita had been released too late into the main PlayStation console cycle and too close to the PlayStation 4's release in November 2013.

It felt cheap and I very much disliked the super big bezels around it and the quality of the screen was low too. The lack of the connector and various SMD components for a 3G modem makes an internal MicroSD card mod impossible, or at least extremely difficult. From 2013 onward, Sony was able to reverse the trajectory of the system by changing focus, aiming to be more of a niche product than one with mass market appeal – focusing more on small Western mobile phone games and mid-level Japanese developed games, and attaching it to the rise of popularity of its PlayStation 4 platform with its remote play connectivity functions. As for why I stated 3G, turns out apparently the 3G and non-3G OLED Vitas weigh slightly differently, which is something else I didn't know. First implemented in 2014, the service was announced to be discontinued on the Vita on August 15, 2017.This is something I literally didn't notice until this month because for most games it's not that bad, but I tried getting in Blazblue recently and playing that game on an OLED is like staring at a lamp. Uncharted’s not a great game to demo the screen – the limited resolution doesn’t help, and it’s clear the photos aren’t taken in the best of circumstances but the LCD display looks great to me.
