the vita was an awesome console for a lot of reasons and I would love to see the progression of its best qualities into a new handheld that actually rocks but at this point you can play AAA games on your phone with native controller support so its not even really necessary

No, it's not that simple. Nintendo definitely made a much bigger profit on the DS than Sony did on the PSP. You're not even factoring in price drops.
It doesn't matter, the price drops are relative to the base MSRP of the units.

The Vita itself is a pretty awesome device. It was let down by the expensive memory cards and, more importantly, the failure to build up much of a library outside of niche genres.

Y'all don't understand War 101.

If you're getting your ass kicked, you throw in the towel and save yourself from any more embarrassment.

Sony was never going to beat Nintendo at handhelds and that's a fucking fact; the PSP factually fell off in 2008 and they were never going to catch up. You only keep on fighting if you have something that will change the game, and what did the Vita have?

lmao nothing. Checkmate Fake Sony Fans

DS didn't win anyone with its dual screens; people only played DS because they wanted good games.

And that's what the PSP didn't have. Good games. Fuck outta here boi @E_S_M_Z

Didn't even break 100 million in a pre-smartphone era when the DS did. It did alright, but not enough to warrant a successor. The Vita was dead on arrival.
PSP sold 80 million in the face of a worldwide juggernaut. It did well. Youre a complete tool if you disagree for the dumb gimmick topic you decided to puke up today out of boredom.

Sells half as many units at twice with twice the mark up. I'd say that's a win by any metric, despite what some fake news articles imply.
If Nintendon't has to sell twice as many units to compete with Sony's higher priced item they're priced too low, lol.

Motion controls are a dumb gimmick to gamers. Motion controls are fucking awesome to people outside the typical audience of consoles. My freaking technophobic granddad got himself a Wii because it actually made sense to him; on the other hand, all the serious gamers I know skipped it.

They targetted an unconventional audience segment, and it worked.

LOL, because they were never going to beat them. The PSP did well at first, but was practically nonexistent by 2009; sales declined and the PSP Go flopped altogether. Furthermore, smartphones were already beginning to overtake handhelds by then. They should have just saved themselves further embarrassment and just given up.

And, as everyone learned with the success of the 3DS and Switch, dedicated handheld gaming was never competing as directly with smartphones as all the gaming journalists and analysts were predicting back then.

The Vita failed for obvious reasons but Sony absolutely wouldve succeeded or co-existed with Nintendo if theyd thought their strategy through better.

The rise of smartphones caused handhelds to decline no matter how much you pretend otherwise. The 3DS is Nintendo's lowest selling handheld. And the Switch is a hybrid console, so it doesn't apply here.

Yet the 3DS did well and the Vita did too initially. Hmmmmm.

Switch is a generational leap from the 3DS in power with a box included that outputs to a TV. Nintendo pretty much conceded the home console market. Almost as if handhelds still had a profitable future .

You can play the PSP on a TV with an official composite adapter. Is it a hybrid or do you just take gimmick marketing too seriously.

3DS was a very lucrative handheld for Nintendo. Software sales were strong and consistent nearly its whole lifespan. Again, youre not looking at context.

Hell, the Vita did pretty well and was supported a lot longer in Japan. Doesnt sound like something Sony shouldve scrapped at conception to me.

The component cable wasn't exactly "obscure". Of course, it remained a laughably tiny 400x272 image in the middle of a 640x480 display output, so it became a superflous gimmick quickly.
