The vita's failure mindbroke them and they don't want to take any more chances with handhelds

They could have tried making an actual PSP2 instead of the horseshit that was the Vita before giving up.

It's a different time. PSP no longer has the novelty of being an all-in-one entertainment device in the age of the smartphone, and Sony showed with the Vita that they don't actually care about the portable market.

No games.
The only issue with the hardware is the memory cards. It was a pretty good piece of hardware otherwise.
But no non-Nintendo console can overcome a lack of games.

Because any ground they could have held was lost when they went and fucked up with Vita. They'll never get the mobile market back even if they had the perfect system with new and fun games. Why? It's because phones, PC handhelds and the Switch, have already conquered the market.

>retarded expensive memory cards when sd cards were cheap, and games were massive
>no games outside of niche JPN-only games
>no hdmi out or back triggers so they can port games to it with feature parity
>retarded gimmick touchpad
>retarded gimmick features that drove price up when they could have undercut the 3DS
>no commercials or advertising
>basically fucked up in the international market
>couldn't attract devs
>LOST FUCKING MONSTER HUNTER TO NINTENDO
Sony did everything in their power to kill the Vita. My only hope is for Vita3K to stop being garbage at this point.

I was kind of a poorfag from like age 14-20 (dad dipped with some bitch and left us in the shitter) and my jailbroken PSP was my main source of entertainment besides my shitty PC that could barely run anything beyond stuff like TF2 or LoL. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Nintendo has cultivated very strong brand loyalty. They're Apple of video games and can get away with any bullshit they offer.

The PSP only SEEMED good because the devs had the freedom and hardware to make weird PS2 style games.
As soon as that era ended halfway into the 360's lifespan, so did all video games.

What good would it be? All of their shit is coming to Steam and Switch anyways. Their current rumored handheld is going to flop out of the gate.

Is it a well-known fact that Sega, PlayStation, and Xbox players all joined the Nintendo and Valve fanbase with the Switch and Steam Deck while what's left of PlayStation and Xbox fans are normalfag shills, paid shills, and third world shills, or are those just rumors?
