    The Vita’s failure is really weird when you consider that they had already produced a successful portable system that had years of support, the PSP.

      The only thing I can think of is that they were refocusing their games division around the PS4 to reclaim their space in the home console area after the disaster that the PS3 was initially taking advantage of the initial failure of the Xbox One.

      PS Vita and their owners were just a collateral Sony was absolutely willing to sacrifice.

      I blame mainly their insistence on using proprietary memory cards. That stupid piece of shit was overly expensive and used nowhere else. If they went with microSD, it’d have sold better. Even pirates have to buy hardware.
