Sony Plans to Stop Physical Production of PS Vita Games at the Start of 2019
| Meh. I used to be a big fan of the Vita because it was like PSP but superior. What killed that system was the high initial asking price due to forced gimmicks like the back touchpad and whatnot. Another major reason was that Sony couldn't get anyone to make games for their system. They didn't have any good launch titles. No good games = nobody wants to buy the system = no customers = nobody wants to make games for it = the system will die. It's kind of a funny Catch-22 really.
| The other issue is the Specific SD Cards that have to be used. If you want a lot digital games, you have to pay up for these SDs that are around 60 Dollars for the 32GB variant. Which is too much.
| I completely forgot about the SD cards. Yeah, the games took a lot of space and Sony definitely inflated those prices to a ridiculous degree.
| Hope they re releases into the play store all the popular Vita games instead of having me search thought a white whale just to play persona 4 Golden
| B-but can I have my Dancing All Night weebery?
| Super important!
| Press F to pay respects
| F. This really hurts me. The overpriced proprietary memory cards was Sony's biggest mistake along with them pretending the console didn't exist. Also the graphics and performance may have been too good from what I heard. It made it a lot more expensive to develop for over the 3DS. I hoped to keep it alive as long as I can though. Maybe it's time to get a Switch. I do like they at least got the memory card thing right.
| Aww great.....I just bought a Vita last month :(
| Vita 2.0 When?!
| As long as the playstation store on vita is still up and going there will still be a ton of games to play at least.
| It's sad because the vita had a lot of really good niche games. Then again most of them we're digital only anyway.
| I remember owning a vita at launch, really fun system but sadly Sony killed it off here in America. I heard it's popular in Japan and they're still marketing it
