jeezus I said the PSVita isnt going to be a big seller, thats it.
obviously I'm talking about the portable gaming market here obviously

The 3DS sold 5 million systems in its first year, out selling the GBA and the DS.

I enjoyed the older PSP 1000-3000 models, but when the PSP GO came out I wasn't a fan of that at all. I haven't heard much about the PSVita. It just looks like a redone model of the the older PSP's.

Regardless of price drop or not, i don't consider wanting to buy the PSVita in overall.
Sure, there are good games on it like Uncharted Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush but after getting a chance to play the other games, i felt as if the Vita was treated as straight up garbage.

First off, the "i liked the way it felt when holding it" is a lie in general. Its like the PSP 3000, nothing simple. Second, I don't think a second dual stick is "Awesome" or "Great" in my opinion. The 3DS has done this but as an "Add-on" for most games like Kid Icarus Uprising and Resident Evil Revelations. Also, because of the second dual stick PSVita has, the buttons shrunk down a little. It feels worse than pressing the PSP buttons in general.

Also, the backpad isn't being used in PSV games much anymore. Its like the PSV shouldn't have it in the first place. But thats my opinion because i haven't seen much of the backpad in some games.

Second, other than Uncharted and Gravity Rush (Which if you're going to get a PSV, i highly recommend), other titles are either ports or terrible games that tries to show off the PSV's features. Modnation racers is a port of the PS3 version. I prefer the PSP version alot more. Little Deviants is a showcase. The only one that doesn't feel like a knock off straight port is the new Mortal Kombat for PSV. From the looks of it, that game itself is gonna be a huge seller on the Vita.

Third, the prices are so damn high for the god damn handheld. If you purchase it with all of the stuff, its way damn higher than the price of a playstation 3 with a game... No thank you sir..

Fourth, theres still bugs which were not fixed at all on the PSV.. Major bugs/problems..
-Some of the games/apps crash/freeze on the PSV (sometimes-rarely)
-You can't play it while the system is charging

I tried the system like 3-5 times at the GameStop store and i can say that its not worth that much money.. Go buy a playstation 3 or a laptop with that money instead

GOODGAME FTW!!!!!


7/10 rubber chickens*

7/10 is not good. If this rating is anything like the way games are rated, 7/10 is average or meh. And since this is an expensive device, it shouldn't be meh. It should be 9/10 - 10/10.

I didn't say the gaming market or anything about the 3DS

edit: you kinda left out the part where the 3DS was barely selling in the U.S. until the slashed the price.
People can either download a game that costs a dollar or two on their phone these days over spending hundreds of dollars on a device that only plays games.
The market is shrinking for portable game systems while smartphones is constantly growing. Dont try to deny that fact.

There was an article on IGN that came up with a good analogy. The cheap handheld camera is going extinct. No one is buying them anymore because casual photographers can use their phones now. But, expensive quality camera sales are actually going up. Why? Because professional photographers and people with dedicated camera hobbies are still buying them because they want the best. This holds true for portable games as well. These consoles are the best for mobile gaming, and people that truly want to play games will continue to buy them, along with smart phones, as long as they continue to offer the pristine advantages that keep them the best quality gaming product.
