Thank you for the support 👊

PS Portal says hi

I think the Portal was Sony’s way of testing the portable market to see how players would respond. The Portal is currently performing very well, so we’ll have to wait and see what they do with that info going forward

@@marvelmania7283 Sony's marketing was completely misguided. Focusing on making a handheld that does everything a smartphone does - including not playing PSP - pushed away even their die hard fans.

@@ZackLillipad is it performing very well? I literally know no one who has one. I haven't even seen a unit in person.

​@@ZackLillipad I doubt it. Sony already has difficulty supporting PlayStation 5, entering the portable console market means competing against Nintendo, unlike 20 years ago Nintendo no longer makes weak portables and considering that Sony relies heavily on third party support, it will be a worse version of the Nintendo portable consoles.

@marvelmania7283 Admittedly I also don’t know anyone who has it but it’s consistently at the top of the sales charts for gaming accessories. And Sony said fairly recently that demand for the Portal far exceeded their expectations.

Playstation portal is better 😂

Playstation portal says hi

@@EnaTenkiyoGamer I didn't get anything, maybe the ps portal lost its wifi connection. 🤣

@@guilhermegoldman hahaha Nintendo switch fanboy crying over the playstation portal 🤣

@@EnaTenkiyoGamer Nintendo left my country after the Wii bc we like piracy a bit too much. Lol Wouldn't matter anyway since it wouldn't fit in my uniform and I do most of my gaming while away from home. For now I'm sticking to my 3ds and Vita.

@@IceyDio mostly remoteplay and PSP "emulation".

but u could still download psp games on the Psstore

@mrtitanspeakerman this is true but at that time most of us had a decent physical library that we couldn't do anything with unless you kept your psp where with the 3DS we didn't have that problem

@@Rojo-Infernoyea and also the price

​@@mrtitanspeakerman only a fraction of the PSP's library was available

@@ericp631you could still copy over and play over any PSP games you bought digitally even if they weren’t on the vita store thanks to the integrated PSP hardware.

Psvr 2 is not a console

And it still would have tanked. -The UMD drive was the most vulnerable part of the PSP, easily broken or made non-functional. Its motor and laser assembly drained the battery much faster than reading from the Memory Stick PRO Duo(TM), and once the system was jailbroken ripping discs to ISO images became child's play. It's the single biggest contributor to the PSP's piracy problem and moving to solid state game cards was the right call. -A stronger first-party lineup should have been a priority from day one, but consider this: The Vita and PS4 were the beginning of Sony's problem of overspending on individual AAA games, which has become downright ridiculous. Spider-Man 2 cost something like $315 million and had to move 7 million units _just to break even._ They abandoned the SS Vita because their investments hadn't resulted in the sales of a sufficient number of consoles for the platform to reach critical mass. What Sony really should have done with Vita was to take a page each from Nintendo and the independant scene. Fewer expensive AAA movies you occasionally get to play, more pick-up-and-play bursts of entertainment. Lots more! -Along with that stronger lineup of less expensive games, Sony's marketing department should have gotten their asses out of bed and actually promoted the damned thing AND its software, first _and_ third party. Even if that meant acknowledging that the thing wasn't exactly the cutting edge of graphical fidelity or immersive experiences. Even if it meant leaning into the console's strongest selling point later in its lifespan: its catalog of JRPGs and niche anime games. -3G was a joke and it shouldn't have been included in the first place. It was a pointless gimmick that needlessly increased the R&D budget for absolutely no payoff. Have you ever tried to play, say, Rocket League over a cellular connection? It's hell on Earth. Even at its best, you just wind up wishing you had real Wi-Fi and abandoning cellular the moment you're back in range of your router. Upgrading from shit to crap would have helped nothing. -The Switch ended the pattern of a withdrawal of support from EA meaning a console is doomed, thank the gods. Platforms live and die based on the strength of their own libraries, not the contributions of a single publisher, no matter how huge and monolithic. The entire industry would be better off if EA imploded. -Really? You wouldn't have just used microSD cards? Sony could have absolutely used cheap memory cards and still hardened them against piracy with an encrypted file system. The PSP and Vita homebrew scenes were full of really smart people who absolutely would have defeated the console's security measures anyway; Those damned memory cards were just Sony getting high on their own supply, _again._ Cheap and plentiful storage would have scared off fewer users, and it would have made it so I could actually use my Vita's cartridge slot instead of an SD2Vita adapter. At the end of the day, Sony didn't fight to save the Vita because they didn't have to. SCE's bread and butter is AAA, singleplayer blockbusters you play after plopping your ass on the couch. If PS4 was as shaky out of the gate as the Wii U, things might have turned out differently, but that's not what happened. Nintendo HAD TO fight to pull the 3DS' head above water. It was the only way to keep the whole ship afloat while they dipped into their war chest to develop a console the public actually wanted.. and the Switch was everything the Wii U AND the Vita should have been.

Sony is all about the profit margins. That's what got them this far. They aren't going to invests millions leading up to a layoff when their consoles are doing well. It's a recipe for bankruptcy if they do lol PS Portal is selling well though so there's that 😂

I didn’t like UMD’s the catties break and then you have to buy new ones. Also iirc, some umd versions of games had features removed. UMD’s are cool but they’re not very practical imo. Rear touchpad can stay, it’s a decent substitute for L2 and R2 once you actually get used to it. Other than that, I agree with this.

- I used to agree about the rear touchpad, but full trigger buttons would stick out too much and hurt the Vita’s portability. - UMD’s were a mistake that should never have existed. The disc drives took up way too much battery life, and loading times were painfully slow. If anything, the PSP should’ve used cartridges. - For launch lineup, the Vita should’ve been on par with the PSP by having its own God of War and GTA from day one. - Cellular data for Vita was a mistake. A cool concept at first, but not worth it. Shouldn’t have been attempted at all.

While ps portal is selling like hotcakes. Explain that?

PS5's doing _okay._ It's the economics of AAA game production and Sony/MS dropping new consoles during a global pandemic that torpedoed this generation of consoles. I bet some fun new games that aren't gonna also release on PS4 would really help, though!

Not the touchpad! I hate having to click with the joysticks. 😓

Ps portal is here to stay

@@EnaTenkiyoGamer it would be tragic if they didn't give their next handheld remote play just to keep the portal around.

@guilhermegoldman sony isn't making a ps vita 2. Get over it. We need to move on

Thanks for watching!!

Playstation portal is better 😂😂😂

How much did u get for them?

Stay tuned 🫡

same here!

Angers me to till this day. How do you just fumble some technology like that. So impressive for it's time

Imo i think it all came down the the price, the price of the vita and the storage was too expensive for 2011, Imo simple as that

Thanks for watching!!

The plural is ps Vitae. Lol

@@guilhermegoldmanfor real hey?

@@iBMcFly Sony just had to name it something worst than 3ds. 😅

@@guilhermegoldman I think both systems have decent names.
