And exclusives titles like Freedom Wars, Tearaway, and Soul Sacrifice Delta are all well worth playing on the device as well. PS Store

In a 2021 retrospective by The Verge, Sony employees attributed several factors to the Vita's poor sales in contrast to the PSP, which had an estimated 80 million sales in its lifetime; a similar drop had been seen by Nintendo with its transition from the Nintendo DS to the Nintendo 3DS. [176] Christian Phillips, a former senior director in Sony, said they had underestimated the impact of mobile gaming at the time of the Vita's release. They had considered gaming on smartphones to be "just good enough for gameplay" and instead felt tablet computers to be more their competitors to the Vita, according to Phillips. [176] While some technologists in Sony had cautioned that mobile device computational power could outpace current consoles around 2010–2011, the design of the Vita did not incorporate this caution. Thus, the Vita was released at the same time that mobile gaming was greatly expanding, losing potential consumers to that market.

Retrieved July 7, 2017.All games developed for the PlayStation 4, with the exception of games requiring the use of special peripherals such as PlayStation Camera, are playable on the Vita through Remote Play. [109] [110] With the use of a Vita, PS4, and PS4 game, this allows a PS4 game to be run on the PS4, but its output transmitted to the Vita, with the Vita being used for the controller input, and the image and sound being transmitted to the Vita's screen and speakers instead of a television. [111] The end result is similar to what a Wii U console does with its GamePad controller through Off-TV Play. [111] The Vita technically has Remote Play functionality with the PlayStation 3 as well, though very few PS3 games supported the feature due to limitations with the less-powerful PS3 hardware. [112] More PS3 games are available for streaming on the Vita through Sony's cloud gaming service PlayStation Now, though they are streamed over the internet in the form of cloud computing rather than directly from a physical PS3 console. [113] First implemented in 2014, the service was announced to be discontinued on the Vita on August 15, 2017.

Unlike other console failures, it’s generally accepted that Sony’s second handheld was the “right device released at the wrong time”. That is to say, its commercial shortcomings largely revolved around the transition to smartphone gaming and the limitations of its software library, rather than any inherent issues with the system itself. I actually all ready have a Vita with Persona 4 Golden all ready installed on it. I heard that Persona really works in a handheld format so I do want to try it on that. Honestly at this point I’m kinda waiting for what Atlus might do with the rest of the series. I’m not too worried about 4 because I guess I all ready have the best version on my vita right? I’m hoping it can come to PS4 and have some sort of cross save functionality with the Vita version. That would be amazing.

Titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, which were technical feats at launch almost a decade ago, now look dated compared to efforts available on the Nintendo Switch. That’s to be expected for a piece of hardware this old, of course.

The better display on the original unit definitely makes it a much more interesting conversation, but the quality-of-life improvements on the Slim model are also compelling features. While it's true that Sony doesn't support the Vita anymore, the console is still a fantastic get for many gamers. The original model, in particular, features one of the best displays ever to be featured on a handheld console. a b "Get Your Hands on PS Vita Early with the First Edition Bundle".
