Yikes. Nintendo had the charge cable issue, but every 3DS came with a 2GB card.

I know it isn't a factor but you guys surely are forgetting the 3G version. Carrier lock, no online play capability and retarded 3g pricing plans

Titty is basically an IV of fluids for the Vita in palliative care right now.

It'd be interesting to see how things would've went if they had kept trying to push stuff like Uncharted Vita for a little while longer (maybe a portable Bioshock/Infamous or something)

i kinda feel like there isn't enough demand for those sorta mini AAA games to actually support an install base and make up their relatively high budgets compared to random B tier JRPG, but that's just speculation.

I'm sure they sold ok to people that already bought into the platform, but they didn't move the system itself. that's a problem and why it never took off

I don't think it was Pokemon that did it (I really doubt anybody was buying a Vita expecting a Pokemon game to show up on it somehow) but I have to imagine Monster Hunter jumping platforms was huge. Karmic retribution for when Sony got final fantasy to jump to the PS1

The Vita was expensive and poorly supported which only cycled into being moreso. Nintendo handhelds can rely on, at minimum, Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda which are three of the most-proven selling game franchises in existence. Sony, for good or ill, just doesn't have anything like that. The best they've got is maybe Uncharted and the Uncharted game didn't have the impact they wanted. It also ran into the problem of losing third party support that the PSP had. Square-Enix strongly supported the PSP with a ton of exclusive games. The Vita had not a drat thing. Monster Hunter is another big example. of one they lost. No real Konami support either while Konami had multiple exclusive PSP Metal Gear games. They got a lot of cheap low-budget ports but that stuff isn't driving a lot of people. So no real strong first or third party support, which in turn made people not want to support it, which in turn lead to the biggest release it has in a month being like frigging Criminal Girls.

I wanna say a 32 gig card was $70 or $80? and I couldn't bring myself to buy one. So I was stuck with my 4. Less space, less desire to buy games, vita ded.

Karmic retribution for when Sony got final fantasy to jump to the PS1 I meant that as an example of a handheld-focused IP that moved units for its respective platforms. the vita lacked those, having lost large pillars of support in the generational transition as you and impatom said.

The dragon quest builders demo was pretty nice. It stops just before opening up the usage of tools, but theoretically you could build up your mud city forever. I kept finding myself trying to press Minecraft buttons though.

Imo Vita would have been a success if it wasn't for high price and the (still) inexcusable price for their stupid proprietary memory cards. Then they finaly made it affordable and loving abandoned it shortly after. Or hey maybe make some more games for it? That Sony exec is an idiot. Almost Everything about the Vita's failure is Sony's fault. They released something inaccessible and gave up instead of trying to address it's problems which is why they failed and nintendo succeeded. They are truly lucky they found a niche market for it in indie games and JRPGs and PS1 one games, because they really don't even deserve that with the way the have handled the system.

Copied from the post I made in the PS Store thread: Darkest Dungeon Vita trip report. Controls take some getting used to; some things are not inherent and some (rear touch pad to change characters; assigning people to away party) are awkward. Game itself plays fine except for one crash I had going into my second exploration. Load times are a touch slower but it's the Vita, that's expected at this point. Game played smooth for me, I detected no stuttering in the first hour-plus I had it running. Text is readable to me; YMMV on it though but they use the screen space on the system to full effect. There is a cross-save feature I haven't tried yet, so I'm not sure if it's three estates or just one. Definitely viable as a portable option for the game, and I have no qualms about doubling up on this game. I'll likely enjoy it more here than on Steam as I'm not a PC guy by nature.

Rear touch? I'm guessing that means no whitelist for Darkest Dungeon on PSTV then  though gently caress it, I should just remote play that poo poo anyway

If you're into VNs at all and have PS+ I don't think it'd hurt to try it.

veni veni veni posted:Imo Vita would have been a success if it wasn't for high price The vita and the 3ds had the same launch price, and the original 3ds was garbage. It's entirely the memory stick cost and the lack of marketing, and even the memory stick cost wouldn't have any impact on 95% of vita users because 8gb sticks are like $10 now and the average user would only be using it for game saves anyway. The image of 'well it's $100 for the big one so I'll just not buy one' is more important than whether they would use it or not.
