DS was far more innovative, considering that it invented touch-screen gaming. Having said that, the PSVita was entirely underrated. Also considering that the 3DS family went out of production last year, it will probably be a while (read: decades probably) until a pure (brand name) handheld console will be released ever again.

Please can we give some props to Sony for keeping these servers up for players in 2021? I mean, it's amazing to think they don't need to keep these servers up, it makes them no profit, however they do so anyway simply because it's pro-veteran-consumer. It's so warm and nostalgic to watch these videos where people, over a decade or so later, are still playing on PS3 and PS Vita. It's wonderful stuff, so thank you Sony for keeping these servers up and running for old-time, veteran players to be active on, and THANK YOU Mystic for showing these servers and the people within them off! It's so heartwarming and makes me very happy.
