What went right?

What went right?

not much

The first party SD cards kept me from ever considering this.

what's that?

a prototype nintendo switch

the best handheld of all time

The d-pad is sex.

>What went right?

It bombed.

Henkaku

It had good specs
But nobody wants to make games for a handheld with good specs, since they cost more money to produce.

DS was perfect because you had an easy platform to develop for.

Vita is also too expensive and coupled with the fact that there are no games, it was set to fail.

>Cheap to develop for
>Easy to port games to
If we're talking worthwhile exclusives the system died back in like 2013, however it'll maintain niche support for a while since it has such a high attach rate

Not region locked

>I can finally play all of my japanese animes

I wish that the vita has the progress of the 3ds hacking scene. Vita seems like a fucking iron fortress compared to the 3ds security.

DS was not an easy platform to develop for, it was simply underpowered. The hardware was actually kind of a bitch.

It had the best version of Persona 4
The TV units went on sale for $20
umm...

Standby mode is top notch.
Screen was perdy.

>It had the best version of Persona 4
That's not saying much

100 USD MEMORY CARD.

>Backwards compatible to PSP and PS1 games
>Second analog stick
>Some pretty good games
>Play your PS4 while on toilet
>PSTV is the first cartridge based home console since N64.
>Finally hacked

Sony learned what went wrong with the PSP and PS3 security

>no access to root of the memory card
>all communications are done in a self contained app client side on the vita
>Save games are packed in the same encrypted file as the main game
>proprietary card to prevent read on other devices
>proprietary cable to prevent hacks from the USB controller (only on the first gen device)
>fully closed OS
> non removable battery to prevent Pandora battery hacks
>games are assigned per unit and account instead of having a master key
>PS3 cannot interact with its files
>what ever other software bullshit it had in its kernel for security
>PSP side is totally separated from its main OS to prevent hacks from it

Im still amazed they fucked up in the browser somehow considering this thing feels like it was redesigned over and over to remove every single exploit they could think of

>>games are assigned per unit and account instead of having a master key
wtf does this even mean? Don't tell me you're one of those fags who thinks Freeshop is anything special.

The best dpad in over 10 years and likely the next 10 years.
Tons and tons of obscure localizations
Free online

They didn't fuck up on the browser, they used some open source code for the browser and that's where they went wrong.

this, the clickiness of that d-pad is great
It's better than dualshock's dpad

on the PSP each game you buy on PSN would come as an encrypted Eboot file, this file would be decrypted using a master key inside the PSP kernel
When the PS3 was hacked, a masterkey used to decrypt PSP software (to play on the internal PSP emulator used for the "mini" PSP games the PS3 was also compatible with) was found in its kernel
Hackers used it to decrypt games and to sign custom Eboot files as legit software downloaded from the PSN store
Once that was done they could inject any code into the PSP, there was no more security to prevent anything, the system was open after that point
You can even sign full game ISOs (converted to eboot) and run on a off the box PSP that was never hacked and it will run the game

Everything uses webkit nowadays, so webkit exploits are easy to find and use.
Everything after that is hard, the Vita doesn't make things easy with its W^X and its ASLR and its stack canaries and shit

Oh right, you're talking about that thing.
Yeah, that was a major fuckup. Don't forget about Sony's ebin RNG.

Yes, a huge fuck up all because they wanted some shitty PSP indie "games" to be playable on the PS3
They even wrote a whole PSP emulator for the PS3 for a feature no one wanted or cared to use
On top of that, all those mini games were shit, so a huge fuck up for nothing

>PS4 announced
> every one creaming their pants because of the DS4
>every major outlet saying the D-pad was like the Vita's
>finally get a DS4
>its nothing like the Vita D-pad
Fuck everything

There was a picture of a prototype PS4 controller that looked almost the same except it was a little thicker but it looked like it had a Vita dpad. So it could be they just had the Vita dpad for that and changed it for final release.

dpad was fucking awesome, analog sticks were not bad;
screen unlocking felt theraputic;
beautiful display at a time.

that's it

The idea of a root key which ever leaves Sony's buildings is a bad one to begin with.
Even if it's burned into hardware and can't be dumped without decapping, you're just asking for trouble and a scenario like this.

and that's what went wrong: profit protection over the cost of customers' convenience, user experience and wallet.

it stayed niche instead of catering to causal normalfags

overpriced != niche

Talking about the games poor fag.

I suppose they are niche in the sense that nobody but basement dwelling weebs could stomach the awful gameplay in exchange for animu tiddies

are you retard? they were initially aiming it at general cod/halo/killzone gaming audience and were hoping for multi-million sales per AAA title

They tried that on the PSP and it failed then too.
In the end it just became a hub for smaller releases. Fortunately for the PSP, those smaller releases were still quality then.

>Implying vita wasn't always a weeb/vn machine

sounds like that touched a nerve.

>>Implying vita wasn't always a weeb/vn machine
That wasn't Sony's intent, no. The games they were pushing were "mainstream" and conventionally western titles like Killzone, Uncharted, Borderlands and Wipeout. The only Japanese release that got a big push from Sony was Gravity Rush.

You're right that it did have weeb games, but Sony can't sell a machine on weeb games and they never tried to.

Sony makes shit games anyways, they are a hardware company unlike nintendo. Third party rules over Sony consoles.

Third party games for the vita have always been niche weeb games and visual novel, and if not for that the vita would have died before the Wiiu. Instead, we have a HUGE 2017 line up with quite possibly the biggest VN release scheduled in ages.

Outselling the Wii U.

holy shit. is that Utawarerumono i see.

2017 release dates for both games. Based Aqua Plus, Based Atlus.

That's right, the Vita has ultimately found its home as the kusoge machine.

Did the vita kill your dog or something?

>>Play your PS4 while on toilet

I have an 80mbps connection and an R7000 router. The remoteplay absolute shit.

thats pretty cool dode

You probably have it set up wrong, make sure to disable direct connect on your ps4 and open up the right ports.
