The VITA would have been the best handheld ever made if it had 3 things...Monster Hunter, Attempts at PS2 emulation (It does have the hardware for it) and the biggie...non-proprietary memory cards
Mh would have helped them but the side effect could have been less software support from other developers as evident on the 3DS. Personally, I prefer teh abundance of games JPN devs are giving the Vita as opposed to the 3DS basically becoming a Pokemon/ AC/ MH machine.
The Vita is not powerful enough to emulate PS2 games. Doing a direct comparison of specs doesnt always translate accurately. The current best PS2 emulator for PC requires better specs than the Vita to just run the game, and not even in a good state either. If this was possible I am pretty positive Sony would have done it by now. At this point software revenue is what is making them money off the Vita.
the memory cards were an unneeded cost. Probably to help make the Vita cheaper or stop piracy. Either way, not super helpful for the machine for many people true.

Aren't handheld consoles becoming obsolete with phone and tablet gaming? It feels like handheld consoles in this fashion might be a niche.
Of course it is. Everyone likes to talk about how well Nintendo is doing with the 3DS (compared to the Vita), not taking into account that the 3DS might barely hit 70 million, when the DS hit 150 million. The 3DS is also the worst selling Nintendo handheld ever.
This does not even take into account that the 3DS probably has the least amount of 3rd party support ever for a handheld.
Mobile gaming is not a fad, its taken grip of the market and it is here to stay. Why do you think Nintendo's NX is both a handheld and a console? Because they know they are losing ground in the handheld space. Why do you think Nintendo is going ahead with mobile games? because they know that market is overtaking their own.

Considering mobile gaming is still in a rough spot at the moment (Heavy focus on free to play titles, over saturation of low quality games on store fronts, lots of DRM, gaming incompatibility between firmware updates etc)
These are blips on what is a pretty successful marketplace for developers and publishers.

Whoa, thought it was smartphone only. thats cool with Vita release.
worth noting that GE1 and 2 are also coming, along with GUNDAM! and the new SAO.
The GUNDAM news was really cool. Honestly thought it would never come west. Im starting to think the VITA my actually be a solid investment now. Hopefully Gundam gets a global physical release. Would def get a Vita for it

Too bad that gundam game is getting bombarded by bad reviews in japan

Im just really looking forward to playing a gundam vs series game. Not sure if the west ever got one. Just a shame The Super Robot Taisen gamea cause too much licencing headaches...would love to have them. I love my mech games

Sony can still turn things around for the vita but I think they mostly focusing on the ps4 and the vr.
the best thing Sony can do is continue to make a climate where publishers can make money on the Vita, which is what they are doing.
The PS4 is more important to them at the end of the day... if that failed to get going for them the PS division would be on some really shaky ground.
