It's a peek into the best and most developed technology from a specific company. He does an amazing job of delivering that story. He's got a great format and has developed it to almost an annoying point (I don't care for the longer form content myself) but he is recording an example of the history of this product line. I trust what he says to a point but remember, this is his research and opinions. Most of my research and opinions often line up with his, but I don't like some of the technology he leaves out in the devices sometimes, that's me being picky though. Besides all that, the history of consumer electronics is a crazy battle between many great minds and greedy fingers. This is, indeed, going to be a new category of videos. 'history of tech' already exists, but the story beyond even what Arun provides, is incredible at almost every corner. Much love, keep life good.

[@JokersQuartet]

I think it's worth noting that the PS Vita was absurdly popular in Japan and recieved support well after it did in the west. I picked one up toward the end of its life span and loved it, but stopped playing when they stopped releasing new games for it.

A modded PSVita is still an amazing device today. It can: - Play PSVita, PSP, and PS1 games at a native level - Emulate other platforms like N64, SNES, Genesis, GBA, and more - Use the much cheaper MicroSD cards for storage (up to 1TB) - Games ported over to the system by the community (e.g. GTA SA, Bully, Dead Space mobile, and recently Hollow Knight) - A lot of homebrew apps, patches for games (e.g. higher res patch), apps allowing overclocking to get more performance out of the vita - Remote play with PS4

Remember my old PSP and PS vita, some of my greatest videos. Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@explodingpotato6448]

The PSTV came bundled with a Dualshock 3 but did support the Dualshock 4, so that should answer your question about controllers. As to why it existed, Sony claimed it was to penetrate into the Chinese market and it did initially release in China and southeast Asia. The reason it made it to other markets was because firstly, it was significantly cheaper so it wasn't competing with the ps4 or ps vita and secondly because microconsoles and digital media players(not all TVs were "smart" at the time) were a big thing at the time, especially a combination of the two. Essentially it was meant to compete with the likes of Ouya, Fire tv, apple TV and Nvidea shield. Looking back it might not make much sense if you don't remember the microconsole fad and prominence of digital media players at the time.

[@techtactics788]

Haha. You know your stuff. 😊

[@HelLDeWs]

the other thing with the PSTV is that it works as a perfect companion to the PS4. The PS4 didnt have any proper way to play PS1 PSP or PSVita games. the PSTV could play PS1 games (which the PS3 could do but the PS4 cant) PSP games on your TV upscaled to 720P which was intresting cause with 2D sprite games they generally looked pretty solid played this way. Of course there is the limited selection of Vita games just on your TV in general. i remember one day sony had actually got rid of the white list restrictions (by mistake which they went back on) so a bunch of games that "weren't compatible" worked and i DLed a bunch of them. it also could remote play your PS4 which i guess if you didnt want to move your PS4 to another TV in your house it was a choice although personally i never really touched this...

Hmmmm that surely is something to think about if someone wants to, maybe the sponsers pay alot to actually afford all of them? or maybe he has some good investments or secret side hustle, idk i am just speculating so dont pick a fight with me XD

great video like usual but i really love the attention to detail by changing the background to suit the year the playstation handheld was from. bravo!

[@themindset3329]

I went from my GBA SP straight to a PSP and never got a Nintendo handheld again. Now I have a liberated PS Vita and playing all the PSP titles from my teenage years and it's the best thing I've done in years

[@DjStiv3]

Yes vita game drought and updates was crazy. 2012 was many weeks or months barely squat. 2013 was a bit the same aside from the major titles that would release but fall flat right after. Pretty sad. 199 price, microSDs(long as a certain speed rating, a micro usb cable, and quicker updates and making sure mobile games were ported a bit more and often to help.... would have made it sell insanely well

Man what a trip down memory lane. I didn’t know a couple of these existed. I had like 8 different psps growing up. They kept releasing limited editions so I kept swapping lol. Psp, psp slim, god of war psp, madden psp, ratchet and clank,Star Wars psp. Ah man so many great limited edition consoles. Also I love the background switching as you go through the generations. Definitely created the feel of when I was playing these consoles.

It was funny that PlayStation tried to compete with Nintendo, I like how Nintendo stayed behind on their console power but did NOT hold back with handhelds.

This is an amazing overview of all the Sony Handheld consoles but I think you could have added the Sony Xperia Play in to the list as well, considering it's a PSP Go 2 (sort of)

[@technict123]

I just found my old ps vita abiut a week ago and I completely forgot how awesome it was. Great to see plenty of other people also enjoying the ps handhelds

[@Shikaar]

The PSPgo was a sad thing. Back in the day you could buy stuff in the PSN Store ONLY with credit card, which is a death sentence in germany where a debit card is common and a credit card is rare. My family never had a credit card and I personally didn't own one until last year. These PSN cards you can buy nowadays in stores weren't a thing either here in germany until a few years later. I remember them coming in actual PS3 game cases, which was nice because you could replace the broken ones from your actual games. :D

[@TheMagnumload]

OG PSVita was my favorite thanks to that OLED screen that you seemed to overlook. The revisions that followed the OG changed from OLED to LCD which was objectively worse.

The PSP was also a great norp browser as well. I remember a classmate use to load up his PSP with a bunch of videos and at lunch time he would play some of them, one time he was caught by the teacher and it was confiscated. Im sure the teacher went through some of the videos.

[@supposedlycollectable4220]

I remember when I saw the first PSP I was amazed by the quality and the way it felt

[@Coco-Loco]

The psp was so extremely good that even it's take copies were big. I could never have a psp, didn't even know it existed but I did get a copy of it and so did my brother on my birthday and it made my childhood. I cannot explain how much fun I've had with it. I really only played the true psp games when I learnt to emulate. Tho, I still really want one in hand. Great video! I loved it so much! A great hit of complex nostalgia for me :D

[@kyrios1120]

I owned a PSP Street and while it gave me an amazing experience the lack of Internet access was something I was unsatisfied with. I wanted the Vita badly but being from a middle class family I couldn’t buy it during its time. I asked my father to buy the Vita, he did not straight up said “No” but he was like “Its a bit expensive don’t you think” so I had to drop my plans for it. It was around ₹20000 at that time Iirc. What impressed me about the Vita is how the UI was so different from my PSP Street. It had a touch screen, a touch pad and the Internet access too like way more than the PSP, It also had the GoW titles which I wanted to play badly. I had played Chain of Olympus and Ghost of Spart on my Street but still I wanted to play the GoW2 on it. I had completed GoW2 on my laptop multiple times but my laptop had extremely low specs and I could not see the cutscenes either so I wanted a full-fledged experience on the Vita with cutscenes and a smooth gameplay experience. It also had TASM game which I wanted to try out as well I can probably buy it now but I don’t think I’ll have the same fun I could have had back then

[@captainace1277]

I hope the Portal is an experiment to eventually release a full fledged handheld, especially with rumours of a Switch 2 around the corner and with the Steam Deck and ROG Ally being so popular already.

[@illford]

I doubt it. Sony doesn't make portable style games really. It's all big sit down experiences. They also just can't compete since Steam Deck is peak for hard-core since it runs way more than just Sony and Switch is obviously far surpassing everything due to casual dominance I think the Portal was a test to see how many would buy and its probably not as high as they want

[@gabebatt4089]

I remember getting the ps vita on my 13th birthday, and that thing went everywhere with me. 10 years later, I'm in university now and I still take it to class with me every single day.
