FYI to anyone coming across this guy for the first time, I have him tagged as “Right-wing Nutjob/Religious Fruitcake”

For wonderful takes like:

And ofc the classic religious dogma “Blood family is evErYThINg”:

Nothin but a lil troll

Samsung has a range with an oven with the camera in it, I wanted to get that one so bad, but it was 800$ out of the range replacement budget lol

Nobody’s forcing you to be here.

Confirmed, Star Wars and Star Trek are in the same universe!

W…where’s the hidden Saddam Hussein‽

Is 48k minutes a lot LMAO

I mean yea that’s kinda my point, Sony had to have known they were not in fact Nintendo and were definitely not going to keep up with the amount of games Nintendo published. Keeping the drive would have been a cheap way to get a running start on the library.

They got greedy and thought people would be happy to re buy PSP games AND fork over money for their insanely priced memory sticks

Id like to formally propose !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world as the new /c/news lmao

It was a gimmicky touch pad, the no drive is a negative, without that there was 0 backwards compatibility with the PSPs large library. Which I peg as the main reason it floundered so hard

OLED, 3G and better wifi could have easily been added to a 4th gen PSP iteration

The UMD, was decent enough, it was optical after all. The problem was they took it away for a gimmicky rear touchpad and in turn locked out all backwards compatibility with PSP games. Which in turn, led to its ultimate downfall because it didn’t have the big backfill of a library when it REALLY needed it to head off the rising smartphone competition (Vita released in 2012)

Display and sticks were better yea, but nothing groundbreaking that couldn’t have been included on a 4th gen PSP iteration.

Also the UI was shit, they replaced the nice XMR/CBR (Whatever it was called) with those stupid bubbles.

Pick up a pair of “Gullikit joycon Hall FX sensors” and never worry about drift again. Hall FX sensors are damn near the perfect joystick

I’ve seen the pair go for ~$20

PS Vita is a straight downupgrade

FTFY

Not having sympathy for the death of another/Saying karma bit them in the ass != Wishing for another’s dearh

They dropped the UMD drive and replaced it with that gimmicky rear touchpad thing is probably the biggest reason.

They dropped something incredibly functional and would have given the Vita access to the entire library of PSP games at a time when it needed that library the most to compete against the smartphone (Vita was released in 2012)

I think the 3DS/DS were able to remain dominant so long even in the face of strong competition from the rise of the smartphone was because of the deep library of older titles to keep it going forward.

Oh man yea there was like 3 iterations between the original and the Vita. In the beginning there was not a whole lot, but towards the end there were a ton of games and a lot of bangers. I think there were like 600+ total games released by the end

God of War, GTA Vice City, Burnout, Ace Combat to name a few excellent classics

Now, but when it was released, it sucked. I think it’s biggest downfall was they didn’t add a UMD drive to it so it wasn’t backwards compatible with any of the PSP games. If they kept that, it might have sold well.

Sweet spot for the Nintendo world 100% agreed, but not for portable gaming at large. Nintendo made a lot of concessions on raw power to bring price down

PSP, while more expensive, hit a solid sweet spot between portability and power. It truly felt like you were playing on just a small console rather than a DS which gave the distinct feeling of playing on something “portable”

Fr, it truly felt like I was just playing a pocket version of a PS3. I took mine EVERYWHERE, and played it WAY more than my DS lol

And those “portals” you could load on to the memory stick and access via the web browser with games n shit lol
