Regarding Vita news, I'm surprised by the removal of OLED. That seemed like a major selling point.  I can understand from a business perspective how the high quality OLED screens must be expensive and many people won't really care enough to pay the difference... but it's still disappointing.


Also curious about the 1GB built-in memory. How long will that really last? Is it intended just for save files or something? My PSP Go does ok memory-wise, but has a lot more memory packed onboard. The PSP games I've downloaded range from about 250MB to roughly 1GB, and I'd assume that Vita games will only require more space.


Without a doubt, the most interesting announcement for me is PS Vita TV (I had already started a separate thread mentioning it). There are a bunch of unanswered questions at this point... but it might be a fantastic little device for anyone in the Sony ecosystem that wants cheap set-top streaming and some games to boot.

[Adrock]

I wonder how much changing the display on Vita would affect anything with my gaming habits (at home only, especially since there's no Streetpass-like function). I'm assuming not much. The speaker placement looks questionable. I feel like they could get blocked by the player's thumbs. I'd probably wait for the 3000 model.

I was pretty excited about PS Vita TV until I read that it doesn't play all Vita games due to the lack of touch controls. Ultimately, this and the 2000 model get outclassed by 2DS as casual versions of their respective platforms. 2DS has no Japanese release plans yet, but Vita, in any incarnation, is still up against 3DS/XL which is about get Monster Hunter 4. I don't think they do enough to appeal to their target audience. One can't play all the games; the other costs almost as much as the original Vita after the price drop. Alternatively, there's a distinct reason for 2DS to exist and Nintendo has a very clear game plan there. The 2000 model makes a lot more sense than Vita TV, but I would have liked to have seen more improvements. Thinner and lighter is nice, but losing the OLED screen and barely improving battery life at a price comparable to the original seems like a missed opportunity for a new model. Two steps forward then two steps back.

I don't really understand the point of Phantasy Star Nova on Vita of all platforms. Phantasy Star Online 2 is already out in Japan for Vita. From what I read, Nova is more like the original PSO with a single player and online/offline 4-player mode. If Nova takes place in the PSO2 universe, I don't really understand why the game is coming to a platform that already has PSO2. I would have preferred this on PS3, Wii U or even 3DS. Admittedly, I'm a bit biased since I already own those platforms which would make playing this (eventually) cheaper for me.

PS Vita TV seems completely pointless. The whole point of the Vita was that you were basically playing PS3 games (or "companion games" on the go...

[Adrock]

I felt like that was what was wrong with Vita to begin with. It should play Vita games, not ported PS3 games. It's the same reason I continue buying Nintendo handhelds even though I mainly play at home on my couch. 3DS has 3DS-only games.

And I still have my Vita to do that.  When I just want to stretch out & relax at home, though, I can use the Vita TV.

As a Vita owner, though, Vita TV has me a bit confused. My biggest problem with my Vita is that it can't hold an internet connection worth a damn in my house.  What I could really use is something that boosts the Vita's internet connectivity, which at first is what I thought the Vita TV could do because of all that remote play talk, but I don't think it does. 

[Shaymin]

Vita TV: Why would I want to take a perfectly good portable experience and confine it to the TV that I probably don't have access to? Not all that interested.

Vita2k: The big selling point is... they switched to an LCD screen? I'm four days removed from buying the original and I'm not regretting it.

64GB card: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

[Adrock]

I thought the bigger selling points for the 2000 model were that it was thinner and lighter and the battery life gained enough experience to level up (albeit slightly). Less fanfare is given to Start/Select being more accessible and Sony changing their proprietary charger to micro-USB, but I appreciate those changes. Switching to LCD struck me as a downgrade, but I honestly don't think I could tell the difference or care much if I did.

[Oblivion]

The biggest selling point for me if I were to get one (however, I don't want one) is the addition of 1GB of onboard storage, simply so I don't need to spend an extra $20 just to save.

[ShyGuy]

Vita TV versus 2DS, fight!!

[Oblivion]

Vita TV wins simply because it provides something the Vita does not.

[UncleBob]

I have a strong feeling that the sales numbers will disagree with that.

[Ceric]

...
Sony changing their proprietary charger to micro-USB
...

I didn't read that.  That is probably for me the Biggest reason I would get the new model over the old one.

[Oblivion]

I have a strong feeling that the sales numbers will disagree with that.

And I think the Vita is a better system than the 3DS, but the sales numbers don't indicate quality, now does it? Come on, you as a Nintendo fanboy should know this. Gamecube didn't have great sales, yet was the best system that generation. Hell, people rave about the Dreamcast, yet did not sell well at all.


Nice try.

[Ceric]

I think the argument here is boiled down:

Streaming Device (PS4, Netflix, etc.) and Vita
vs
More Durable Cheaper 3DS

Honestly think their is more of a market for a More Durable Cheaper 3DS.

[Dasmos]

And I think the Vita is a better system than the 3DS

lol

Dude, go back and re-read your statement.  You didn't say crap about quality, you spoke of "winning".  Generally, "winning" in business is about sales.

I have no doubt in my mind that the 2DS will outsell the Vita.  Period.

[Phil]

Oh, fudge. We're doing handheld wars again. 

[BranDonk Kong]

MicroUSB (or even miniUSB if you're lame) = win. Seriously there is no reason to use anything else. I'm disappointed that Nintendo doesn't use it on their handhelds, the WiiU Gamepad, etc.

[Adrock]

I sort of understand 3DS using a proprietary charger since Nintendo just carried over the same one from DSi/XL. And if you already had the previous handheld, you get an extra though I honestly would have preferred Nintendo just flat-out dropping the proprietary charger for micro-USB out of sheer convenience since I have like 19 micro-USB cords. I presume Nintendo doesn't there to be a way to plug their hardware into a computer.

I really don't understand why the GamePad doesn't use micro-USB and a wall charger. It can't function without Wii U and the Pro Controller charges via micro-USB. A replacement GamePad charger is like $25 and only available through Nintendo's online store. It doesn't even use the same charger as the 3DS making it extra lame. I've had to be extra careful of cat related mishaps.

[MegaByte]

Presumably, the GamePad requires too much current, and from the hard drive experience, we already know that the Wii U USB ports are weak on power. If they had used mini-USB there, it would have been confusing to people why it wouldn't work plugged into the Wii U. That's also the reason they couldn't use the 3DS charger.

Ironically I watched Top Gun all the way through for the first time last night.
