I've been a big fan of the PSP pretty much ever since it was released. I had a PSP-1000 for the longest time that I ran CFW on and all that crap. Then I decided that I was bored with the homebrew scene and switch to a PSP Go. Which despite what everyone told me, I love. I think is the best PSP Sony made. The only real drawback for me is the few games that are only available on UMD that I can no longer play.
I've been reading all the latest news on the PlayStation Vita that's succeeding the PSP, and I'm really disappointed. I think that this is going to be a huge flop for Sony. Here are my reasons why I think the PSVita is going to fail.
I think I'll be sticking with my PSP Go for a while longer.
I've been reading all the latest news on the PlayStation Vita that's succeeding the PSP, and I'm really disappointed. I think that this is going to be a huge flop for Sony. Here are my reasons why I think the PSVita is going to fail.
- It's huge. Besides, being thinner than the original PSP-1000, overall it's larger
- Rear touchpad. I'm sorry, I think this is the most retarded idea in the world. It's a stupid gimmick feature.
- Battery life. 3-5 hours of gaming, with no bluetooth, default brightness, headphones, and no networking. This is the same battery life as a Sega Nomad.
- Price. $250 for the wifi only model. The PlayStation 3 is now $250 isn't it?
- Media format. Sony hasn't learned their lesson with UMD, they're using yet another proprietary format for he game cartridges. This was the perfect opportunity for them to go all digital. And to make matters worse, they're also using a proprietary format of memory expansion cards too. What was wrong with Memory Stick Pro Duo's or M2's?
- LiveArea. The XMB interface works well and looks elegant. They're replacing it with something that looks like it's from Fisher Price.
I think I'll be sticking with my PSP Go for a while longer.
