Same here. I would have been excited if Sony made a vita follow up, because Nintendo proved there was still a niche for handheld gaming. My biggest problem with the switch is even the lite models are too bulky to justify carrying everywhere. The Vita is the perfect size, but the platform is dead, support all but dried up, and the potential unmet.
If Vita 2 was announced tomorrow, with the same capabilities of the switch or steam deck, but with the form factor of the vita, I would preorder that day.
Thing is, handheld isn’t even niche. Sony just bungled it with the dumbass non SD card shit. That added so much cost to owning a vita. My kid lost mine, but when I had it, I mostly got games on cartridge because I didn’t want to pay for more than the 8 gig card.
Handheld has always been Nintendo’s safe console. And PSP did quite well. When the GameCube and wiiu flopped Nintendo was still making bank off of handheld.
But whatever. I have a emulator handheld, vita3k is looking nice on my phone and getting really close to functional, my steam deck is wonderful for power and even more emulation. And of course their is the switch. I guess since I haven’t even gotten a ps5 I will be skipping out on this monstrosity.
Hey don’t forget me. I’m a little late but I’m here. And this thing is so stupid. I really wanted a new Sony handheld but this was not what I meant.
