Actually, you do make a good point. It isn't fair to shit on the handheld, the hardware's honestly pretty fucking impressive. The problem is, as you say, the company behind it doing a pretty shitty job of utilizing it.Zachary Amaranth said:It's not so much that their handhelds are awful in themselves, but that they make great hardware and then ask "how can we fuck this up?"ScruffyMcBalls said:Well other than Persona 4 Golden, there wasn't really anything enticing me to buy one of these before, but I have no fucking incentive to even consider it now. It still galls me that $19.99 for 4GB of data seems acceptable to someone out there, when Amazon sells 32GB cards for £10.
I still maintain Sony is a great company, but their handhelds just stink, they stink worse than Nintendo's, and that's saying something.
Sad thing is, all they really need to do is release the same sort of titles they released on the original PSP, but with a control scheme that makes use of the second analog stick for camera controls rather than the D-Pad. I'm looking at you Monster Hunter...
In a year's time maybe it'll get the third-party support it needs and maybe they'll cut the prices on their memory cards and generally make the Vita experience more appealing, who knows?
