and now the steamdeck replaced all of them.

Huh excuse me?! Have you seen the handle on the GameCube?
The Vita stands as the best when hacked and paired with a sd2vita.
Now, but when it was released, it sucked. I think it's biggest downfall was they didn't add a UMD drive to it so it wasn't backwards compatible with any of the PSP games. If they kept that, it might have sold well.
PS Vita is a straight upgrade
I still have mine!
I had a green one. Think it might still be around somewhere too.
Sony’s industrial design is second to none. The PSP still feels amazing to hold, despite being an antique.
PSVita: Am I a joke to you?
PSP really was the shit man.
From chains of Olympus to birth by sleep to dungeon siege trone.
Than the vita came and fucked it all up, used it for two games, danganronpa 2 and binding of Isaac.
Nah they fucked it up with the sliding PSP Go. If they continued and improved on the original PSP design, it would most likely be competing with the Switch at the moment.
So the PS Vita then?
Serious question because I never had any handhelds back in that era, but what made the Vita suck? I've heard there's some great games on it despite opinions about the console and it's always been unanimous that the PSP was great, but how did Sony screw it up? Not going out and buying either one right now, but I never really see specific reasons mentioned.
They dropped the UMD drive and replaced it with that gimmicky rear touchpad thing is probably the biggest reason.
They dropped something incredibly functional and would have given the Vita access to the entire library of PSP games at a time when it needed that library the most to compete against the smartphone (Vita was released in 2012)
I think the 3DS/DS were able to remain dominant so long even in the face of strong competition from the rise of the smartphone was because of the deep library of older titles to keep it going forward.
Nah, DS Lite was the sweet spot. Best of both worlds with GBA and DS game selection, pocket sized.
Shame the hinges crap out on it though.
No psp was complete junk. The psp version of games were so bad compared to the original. The disks were expensive, shit selection, one analog stick and a bad one.
Gameboy sp was the best handheld.
I never had a Vita so idk what was wrong with it. I did have two variations of the PSP and the only thing that was bad about it was the available library. There wasn't a lot of really good games for it. The metal gear spinoffs, SOCOM, and Work Time Fun are all I even really remember playing more than just once or twice.
Vita was fine. Sony just didn't support it and stuffed it up with propriety memory cards which caused low sales and a lot of big games for it to be cancelled. It also launched at a time where mobile games were becoming more mainstream and less people wanted dedicated handhelds. Although post-Switch, the handheld market has seen a bit of a boom especially with Steam Deck etc.
Where is the Gameboy Micro?
Or did it already win and this is for second place?
