I do and I think they are a good and powerful device. Do you have one? I have Wipeout 2048, AC 3 Liberation and Uncharted Golden Abyss.

I do and I still strongly regret buying it.

It isn't even half as powerful as sony promised it was going to be (not surprising with sony. They lied about the power of the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP in the same way too), it has barely any exclusive games worth playing, the memory cards are ridiculously expensive for what they are, and the OS is freaking slow.

Thanks to PS+ I do have plenty of games for it though... but even then I don't think is a worthy investment for anyone out there.

I have one and love it.

I agree with Axw though on most points but the lack of riverting games and applications i feel is due to the lack of developers. Devs dont want to create for the Vita because it doesnt sell. With out people making games we cant see the vitas full potential. As for the memory card well i have no justification for those, they are bloody ridiculous.

Yeah, games are an issue but consoles don't die quickly, The PSP was launched in 2005 and games are still coming out for it. The vita has a long life ahead of it and with Sony making price cuts, sales are sure to go up.

The PS4 is also going to tie well with the vita so that's also a positive. By making remote play available for all games on the PS4, the vita has even more playable games.

My sister does; she played with it for 2 weeks and completely forgot about it after then.
Shows us why girls shouldn't play video games (jk jk xD)

But I think this console pretty much flopped. It's cool and powerful, but Sony was expecting more out of it than supplied

I don't have PS Vita and wouldn't want to buy one anyway. Its really crappy and isn't worth the money, simple as that.

I wanted to buy one but there aren't many games for it that make it worth the buy and I need a new ps3 because my HDD has almost no space left

It sounds like you are complaining for the sake of complaining. The PlayStation Vita doesn't seem like a bad device at all. Unfortunately, Sony made it a bit too much like a smartphone, and people who want smartphones are going to buy...well, smartphones,, so it's not that popular. The memory cards don't seem more expensive than any other memory card, although I don't understand why Sony's products need to use their own proprietary memory card instead of an SD card like every other device in the world.

I already have a PSP so I'm not going to buy a PS Vita.

That's like buying a new car because yours is out of fuel. You can clear unnecessary data from your PS3's hard drive or buy a larger hard drive.

I have a 40gb HDD PS3 and I have to share it with my younger brothers making it a pain in the ass to play games and finish them because it has to be located in the living room for us to share, where as if I owned my owned one myself there'd be no issues with HDD or sharing.

Explain to me how all 4 of those systems sold so well(PS1, 2, 3, and PSP). I've used the vita before and its just as powerful as they say, just that Sony is the one who really showed its worth because unlike every other game for it Uncharted was the only one with the graphics they promised.

I was about to buy one, yet there are not enough great games out there that would make it worth it, plus, the price is quite elevated (just like the PS3 launch price). I do believe it could be worth it in a year and a half or so, but at the moment I do not believe it is worth it.
