I wish the Vita was doing better than it is doing right now.
Why is there a PS3 logo for this article
Just hilarious.
its a great piece of kit and on comparison its far superior than the 3ds in terms of performance and capabilities. Its downfall is the games. I never owned a vita and the reason was I didn't want to play console games designed for the big screen on a handheld. I don't own a 3ds or any other Nintendo handheld either. So suppose i'm not into those quirky handheld type games And if there is a indie type game I must play I wouldn't buy a new handheld to play a few I'll just download from the store on my current console. I had the psp and I hardly ever played it for the reasons above.
I have been given the PlayStation tv as a gift which is for me better to own than a vita as it can play those vita games and is perfect for the large screen so why would I want to own a vita? I feel the PlayStation tv is a better alternative than owning the vita itself.
