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.

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.

Eh, "absurdly" popular is maybe a bit of a stretch. The vita ended its life at a bit under 6 million in Japan, compared to 3ds which was at 24 million. And now the switch has surpassed both combined as it pushes past an impressive 32 million in Japan.

[@PixelSheep]

It's still crazy to me how far ahead of its time the PSP was. Just bought one again a couple years ago. I mean it could do almost everything a smartphone can do today. You had Videos, even "DVDs", a Camera, Video calls via Skype and you could actually add a freaking GPS to it and use it for navigation. To this day itself and the UI look sleek and modern - it's just damn crazy. I gotta say - I just LOVE the PSP - it's a legend! EDIT: also had the PsVita - and to this day it hurts me how it was just let down by its game support. But the crazy thing is that it even had an OLED panel :) EDIT2: well you just mentioned the OLED panel :D and thanks for the heart - love to see someone who's also in love with the PSP/Vita from the time :)

[@swandive46]

And it's safer than modding a PS3. Nobody's ever been banned for jailbreaking their Vita. But you forgot the most important part: You can stack different regions of games, where before, you could only use 1 account on the Vita.

[@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...

I think you could add to the list Xperia play as an exception, i know it's not a playstation handheld, but it's Sony portable system, something between a phone and psp

[@omnijem5042]

I remember getting a ps vita for my birthday the year it came out and fell in love but along the way put it down. As of recently I picked it back up and modded it and my love has been rekindled:)

[@bobby7898]

That psp box brings so much nostalgia. I still remember picking mine up on launch date morning from GameStop 😢

[@michaeldiamond2269]

I've never owned a game console, but I watched the presentation all the way through. Great delivery style.

[@sylvainster30]

Seriously? Never 😮

[@michaeldiamond2269]

Nope, never. The last game a played was probably space invaders, or something similar.@@sylvainster30

The PSP Go is actually quite popular in the PSP community. Most use it as a second console when they want something more portable. If you install custom firmware on it, it becomes an excellent emulator for retro games, so it’s great if you want a super portable emulator.

PSP was so ahead of its time. I absolutely loved it and still do. Would love a new dedicated handheld device.

[@shonen84]

Turning on the PSP at the time blew my mind. It was so ahead of its time. As was the PS Vita. While I respected the Switch, it wasn’t until the Steam Deck and ROG Ally I got back into mobile gaming. The latter is my current desktop pc as well. Let’s hope Sony comes back with a real portable!

[@gamesforlife2670]

Yea the switch had terrible hardware but the sales came from the fact that it's hybrid and the exclusives as not many people are buying consoles to play competitive games on it as you would then buy a pc

[@ruga129]

​@@gamesforlife2670the reason for the switch being Better than any handheld is because of exclusive games

[@unilator4534]

​@@gamesforlife2670 I'd disagree about the hardware part sure it's weaker but around the time it released it actually did what it set out to do play console quality games on the go and it did it well with maybe no graphical drop or a barely noticeable one and obviously lower res like maybe instead of 1080p on ps4 it was 720p instead (bare in mind I'm talking about during it's first years) nowadays yeah a good number of games either have bad resolutions or bad fps honestly I just hope Nintendo's next console is powerful or atleast sony comes back because pc handhelds are just ridiculously overpriced

[@gamesforlife2670]

@@unilator4534 yea I agree, it was weaker, but it's also been around for a while and considering it takes around 5 years for a new Nintendo console to release, the switch is really old, thankfully the rumors claim that the next Nintendo console has PS4 or Xbox 1 performance which is a generation behind but is really good for a presumably hybrid console

[@Runescape.]

lol imagine using a rog ally as your desktop, that thing has pitiful performance, even a gtx 1080 from 2017 is faster. handhelds and laptops are gimmicks. the only good power for pc gaming is a real desktop. RTX cards or nothing else works.

[@CJAlonzo413]

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!

[@zackhopkins5185]

I got the psp on launch day but I had no idea they made so many different versions of it. Took me a good week to realize the joy knub wasn't a speaker.

[@cdlg000]

Just found my PSP 5 days ago and shared it with my 5 year old. It was such a wild core memory going through it all.

[@Madararocks33]

Still playing with my modded psvita slim..its a great choice for portable gaming..and i really like the touch of different movie posters per console, and the subtle equivalent of the console to its portable counterpart..great vid as always Arun..

[@neeltanna777]

The best rise of a tech youtuber ever It’s like so well deserved because Arun isn’t a sellout and genuinely cares for the viewer experience

[@vihtas]

bros channel is literately growing so fast.

[@MinecraftRay114]

1:37 thanks for making me spit my tea lol

[@damien2670]

I just noticed he had a movie poster of that year in background he each time he played a different PS handheld device, like Lords of the rings for PSP, Avatar for PS Vita, Barbie for PS Portal. Nice subtle detail.

[@tehillaobanor2540]

I wish psp would come back in this generation, just imagine the innovation.

[@BIGBO55007]

Catching the Gameboy at 2:46 was smooth as F. Nice one @Mrwhoestheboss

[@spencerlorrigan]

Love to see your passion for handhelds! I get so much more attached to them than I do with home consoles. I think the portal is actually kinda cool, but my 5mbs home upload speed could never 😂😅

[@Alicktion]

The hand grabbing the pickle in the end threw me off guard 😅 19:55

[@Kendrone]

What’s nice is that there is a community of modders who keeps the vita alive. I plan on modding my vita to play the old gen consoles and some GBA titles I missed out on

[@psvitaroundup6940]

Great video, lots of nostalgia, and on the PSP's 19th birthday week too! Still play the PSP loads, such a time machine! Good to feel the portable love (and looking forward to a Portal next year)

[@d.sadster5684]

The attention to detail you guys do is awesome, every video is eye candy Loved the posters and consoles thru the years 💙

[@simob7862]

The PSP was way ahead of everything I have a few, and the movie collection I had was insane, the most interesting this was my friend at uni who was doing IT used to fix/repair them and installed Linux with a huge memory card was a media beast at the time was really into Long way round and I had the entire thing saved

[@victordia099]

The PSP was my childhood. I had 2 a 2000 and a 3000 and boy did I play the shit out of them! Good times, great video, nostalgia trip!
