When being the top selling title in November with a $5 sale lands the #7 spot for the year, I would guess the downloads aren't that great either.

I still think the Vita is the best handheld console that has been made thus far.

Playing games like blazblue while commuting for short sessions is great.

I love my vita but I would never take it outside because I have a recurring nightmare where I'm on a train and a curious child asks me what I'm playing, and its Demon Gaze and I get arrested.

If it took micro sd it would have had a really good chance at beating the psp (which also had proprietary memory), but you got cell phone model pricing on memory and the internet crying 'it doesn't have mario so nogames' so it would be a miracle to get another handheld.

Cellphone f2p bullshit is the future, this is what the consumers want.

Whoa, you live where the vita gets a shelf? The gamestop near me hasn't stocked 3ds or vita games in awhile. If you ask they just try to push a psn gift card/eshop gift card on you.

I know these are all niche jrpgs, but it literally would not have mattered. The nogames thing was going on before the system even released.

Do you honestly think that the vita had a strong library of games that appeal to the mainstream audience in the first one or two years of it's existence?

Vita sold badly because it didn't have games that grabbed people's interest and it was expensive. Sony could probably have fixed that with strong support (like Nintendo with the 3DS) but chose to abandon the console instead.

If public opinion is "I'm not going to buy it anyway" why would you support it. If you look at your audience and they're saying "The memory is too expensive, I'm not going to buy it" why would you make anything for it.
The vita is a great piece of hardware but lol titty games or whatever. It's dead, doesn't matter.

I remember the section where you're running away from gunfire took me days to get past. It was loving misery and just made worse by it not being a typical climby-shooty section where you can try to come up with different approaches when the first one fails. Its just doing the exact same thing repeatedly until fate decides this run is the winner.

Other than that, I don't remember it being as bad as any of the PS3/4 games, which are actual anti-fun on crushing, and even worse on whatever the new remake difficulty is (brutal?)

Golden Abyss is barely worth a playthrough. Can't imagine suffering through it on Crushing. And I loved UC1 and 2.

Where they used to be awhile ago is a shelf of gift cards and a tv that just plays Kongregate ads on loop. 3DS can't compete with Stick Figure Flash Battler V2.0a or whatever I guess.

Sony lets you have one person per kind of device per account, so one on vita, one on PS3, and one on PS4 simultaneously is fine. But don't do that because doing so will cause the gatekeeper to speak the last of the seven words that bring about the complete annihilation of the universe.
