why do people let sony get away with this?
Why do people still buy the Vita?
>>343222120
It's ok when Sony does it.
I guess that means no more Sony portables, since they are killing their own portable before even commenting about a new one.
If they hadnt been jews on the memory cards the system would still be alive and thriving
I bought it as a remote play do-dad.
It works very well in this regard.
>>343222120
Sony has dropped support for products the moment they don't become instant million dollar success for ages now, this is nothing new from them.
Meh. Sony first party is so insanely hit or miss I don't really care.
Ill take some japanese jrpgs and indieshit every once in a while.
This isn't news. Sony's last major push for Vita was Freedom Wars in 2014. People who own a Vita at this point have done so for the third party support and anyone who doesn't know this simply hasn't been paying attention, not that I can necessarily blame them.
>>343222120
What's a Vita?
People don't buy Sony systems for the 1st party software.
Sony is pretty much a western games company at this point and western devs either don't make handheld games or just make cheap spin offs.
Vita is a marvelous and compile heart machine.
>>343222689
The trap that Persona 4 Golden baited.
>>343222585
you think PSVR will meet the same fate?
>>343222120
as long as I get my western localization of Toukiden 2 I can die in peace
>>343222120
from a collector perspective, do you think the vita will ever be considered rare one day? i mean it didn't sell that much but the thing is it also didn't have many good games
>>343223016
Probably, yeah. No one is going to go out and buy that shit.
Maybe wizards would pick it up for Summer Lessons, but nothing about it really looks that interesting to anyone, especially with dat price tag.
>>343222120
they barely supported it anyways
>>343222120
Because there is no single company that support same hardware for eternity? Are you retarded?
>>343223016
PSVita
PSVR
>PSV
Yeah it's DOA
Because they want games for the PS4.They're getting something, but it's barely anything honestly, but they still get pretty damn excited when they do.
>>343223527
Not true. Sony did indeed try with it in its early years with games like Uncharted Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, Unit 13, Lumines Electronic Symphony, LittleBigPlanet Vita, Soul Sacrifice, Killzone Mercenary, Wipeout 2048, and Tearaway. Problem is their efforts were misguided - they aimed for an audience that doesn't exist with a "console game on the go" mentality and the Vita itself was mismanaged with shit like the memory cards and pointless gimmicks like 3G.
>>343222120
People dont play sony first party games on the Vita, in fact all of them auck except Tearaway which was mildly amusing
>>343222120
First party games don't matter for Sony consoles
>>343222120
It's ok when Sony does it. That's it.
NINTENDO HANDHELD DOMINATION

>Gravity Rush
>Soul Sacrifice
>shit
>>343223119
Yes. It has a lot of niche weeb games.
man a parappa the rapper would have been perfect for the vita
So this means that Sony is completely done with handheld devices right?
>>343222120
Because third parties are keeping it alive which is fine by me
>>343223883
Killzone's a nice benchmark of what could've been. It's pretty impressive that they made a competent, if not pared down console-style FPS on a handheld.
>>343222120
I regret getting a 3DS and a Vita.
It's all been pretty shit after my CFWPSP.
My 3DS had MH releases at least
>>343224013
Gravity rush was shit. The gravity gimmick was fun for a while but the combat was clunky and boring as hell, it was a tech demo of gimmicks at best
Hopefully they improve it with GR2
>>343224087
Probably but hopefully not. The rest of this gen is so underwhelming that I actually ended up liking Vita more than anything else.
>>343222120
Welp, vitas final nail in the coffin. No more competition for Nintendo, get ready for their portable tech to stagnate
>>343224087
I don't know
The wiiu is a failure but that won't stop Nintendo from making another console
>>343224393
How new are you, this is news from over a year ago
>>343223119
Probably not long term. The good games got PS3/PS4/PC ports like the Dreamcast and GC/PS2/Xbox/PC ports.
It won't stop people feom trying though. The speculative collectors have already started that process anyways with shit like Limited Run Games selling 3000 copies of an indie game and selling out in minutes.
>>343224534
People care so little about Vita that they don't even know that much. I've never seen a platform so easily shitposted about in my life.
>falling for this
>>343222120
Sony is the only hope left for console gaming. Without Sony console gaming will die. If I don't support them all we have left is PeeCee masdurr race faggot shit.
why would you want them to develop for a dead console?
>>343224641
If people didn't care why did they shitpost about it constantly?
>>343224823
PS1/2 era Sony maybe. Nowadays they're more concerned with cinematic experiences and remasters than good games.
>>343224823
consoles are already PCs
>>343224393
>Implying the 3DS isn't already stagnated
>Implying the writing isn't on the wall for handhelds in general because phones are taking over
>>343224880
It's entirely alive in japan and getting regular releases. Sony doesn't seem to want to make first party games because the dudebro majority audience doesn't exist there. Which is good really, because it doesn't mean my franchises have to get degraded into interactive movies like GoW
>>343224953
>PS1/2 era Sony
grampa pls
>>343224890
Because you'd be hard pressed to find an easier target. As far as the general public is concerned, Vita is a joke. The only people who take it even remotely seriously are the dedicated niche it's amassed from consistent support from indies and Japanese devs. The thing is doomed to everyone else, has been for years, and between Sony's recent avoidance of it, the mistakes they did make when they kind of tried, and most of what made Vita potentially unique getting ported off to PS4, it's little wonder why.
>>343222120
Thats a really old new.
Also Sony first party games suck anyway.
>>343225304
But you claimed nobody cared about it, when you're clearly dedicated to it and shitposting about it as much as possible
Name one good game that sony has made in the last 10 years.
>Sony
>Great at consoles
>Shit at handhelds

>Shit at consoles

Why don't they just merge together and become one big gaming giant? With Sony's amazing success with consoles and Nintendo's outstanding success with handhelds, they could combine their strengths and take over gaming. Everybody would be happy and nobody will complain
Who buys Sony consoles for first part games?
>>343225516
The co developed the greatest game of all time
>>343225448
I'm hardly shitposting about it considering I actually like the handheld. I'm just sharing my observations. It's not hard to make a post like OP's and watch the replies come in as people kick Vita while it's down for the 500th time.
>>343224823
>console gaming will die
But that's a good thing.
>>343225578
>>>Nintendo
>>Great at handhelds
That shit has laughably awful hardware and the first party 3ds games are mostly terrible. The strengths lie in the third party games.
>>343225448
He's not wrong. You act like the gaming industry is huge with a diverse list of offerings like cellphones or something. There's only a small handful of hardware each gen in comparison to other industries. I don't give a shit about like those Steam Machines either, but I'll join in and laugh if I'm in the mood.
>32gb proprietary psvita storage card $60
>32gb common microsd for 3ds <$10
Dunno why it failed.
>>343225516
Gimmicky as it was, I enjoyed Tearaway.
>>343225578
The 3DS is a piece of region locked shit that can't play anything above 20 fps, a cell phone is better than it.
>240p
This is almost a year old now. Third Party Japanese developers are still supporting it because the Vita is still pretty popular in Japan
>>343225578
>psp
>shit
>>343222120
Why did people let Sony get away with killing Lik Sang or Bleem? Why did people let Sony get away with suing ElectricBirdLand? Why did people let Sony get away with the original PSP's shitty square button, the PS2's shitty laser and removing features from the PS3?
>>343222120
where are the kinect games? how did we let microsoft get away with it.
>>343226240
Vita plays PSP games like a goddamn beast, too. Mapping camera controls to the second analog is a godsend and the screen is exactly double the resolution of PSP's so the games scale to the screen well.
>>343222120
Does this mean that they might lighten up on the vita hacking scene and actually let us put emulators and shit easily onto it?
>>343222120
At least they actually care about their customers unlike Nintendo. They take a loss on every console sold and take a loss on every game sold, but they still do it anyway.
That's fatherly fucking love right there.
>>343224087
Most likely.
>>343227267
I would certainly hope Vita isn't still being sold at a loss, and even when it was that loss was counterracted by the still expensive AND mandatory memory cards, which were even more exorbitantly priced back then.
>>343226240
On its own? Yeah, it's total dogshit. What saved the PSP is that its security was so fucking shit that any idiot could jailbreak it. And after that you never bothered to buy a PSP game again seeing as the ISOs were only like 1.5 GB each, admit it.
>>343224007
>NINTENDO HANDHELD DOMINATION
Pretty much especially as long Pokemon is on a Nintendo handheld

Thank God this handheld failed.

>caring about specs instead of enjoyable software
>>343224087
Sounds like it.
The original PSP system sold well but the software sold poorly due to rampant piracy and the Vita just hasn't sold well at all so it would be a wise move to end Sony portables.
>>343228865
Why Sony not put a Pokemon killer on Vita
>>343225578
They tried something like that once and Nintendo ended up stabbing them in the back and let Phillips make shitty Zelda and Mario games for a while.
>>343229390
>Nintendo ended up stabbing them in the back
Other way around.
Sony tried to make them sign a agreement where their IPs and games would be on Sony's software but Nintendo's IP would then be Sony's own property.
Nintendo took it very VERY badly and walked out.
>>343229123
>enjoyable software
Like what? They would still run much better on the vita or a phone.
>>343222120
it's their own fault
by the way didn't they stop development ages ago? like 4 years ago?
