Recently, the Wall Street Journal named the Playstation Vita the 8th greatest product flop of 2012. With the Playstation Vita having been out for almost a year now, I'm curious to know what people's opinions are about it around here.
First off, let me say that I myself absolutely love this system. I never got a PSP, so when I got one at launch I had access to a solid library of games right off the bat, and when PSx classics came this summer I could download and play many of my favorite games on the go. The joysticks are a delight to use, and the OLED screen produces a great image and is perfectly sized.
Funnily enough I didn't actually own a Vita game until November, when the new and improved edition of my favorite JRPG in a LONG time, Persona 4, entered the scene. For me, this game more than makes up for the lack of Vita-exclusive games so far, but I hope there's more great games down the line.
It seems like bashing the Vita is a hip thing to do nowadays too, whenever I reveal to someone that I'm a Vita owner the first thing I'm usually asked is "I bet you regret that decision, huh?" or something similar. I just hope the public's negative view of the system doesn't spell its doom, because the Vita is already shaping up to be one of my favorite things ever, and I usually carry it around wherever I go.
