the dead don't age.
Title should be "The Vita would have been 4 years old in NA today".
It's great for indies and classics and a handful of vita exclusives but I'm still bitter about Sony not putting the effort in for some first party franchises. A ground up infamous or God of war would have been amazing.

All of those things already exist though
Ignorance of where the Vita is 4 years later man.... I blame Sony
The community around the Vita (both developers and consumers) are what really makes it special
Fucking Sony is actually in the WAY
Happy Birthday, you beautiful OLED. Keep on truckin'.
I didn't even want one in its first year, but something drew me to it in 2013. Gravity Rush, Persona 4 Golden, portable Minecraft with my brother, Project Diva re-introducing me to my love of rhythm games, and Danganronpa; those all stick out as some of my highlights with it over the years. I think I own around the same amount of games on it as I do my 3DS!
Memory card prices still suck. My fridge-fu is lacking, so I can never access much of my collection. Think I'll see about getting a 64GB for my birthday in August, if they're not OOS and scalped by then.

It's weird but in fact I've been using my Vita way more lately, playing JRPGs that I never had the chance to play, if somehow Sony could put the entire PS1 and PS2 library on the Vita, i think it still would sell for many more years.
They also should have called it PSP2, I don't know why they went with the "Vita" name.

Aww, no birthday sale this year.
This! Last year there was a commemorative sale.
It can still happen. I mean, we're celebrating the date for the early launch, not the standard launch.
Shouldn't this be playing in reverse?Well, as you can tell, I spent a lot of time on this:
Maybe one of the pros will have a better answer.
Anyway I've easily had some of my favorite handheld moments in the last few years with you, Vita. So as my friend's 2-year-old says, herpie bathday.

I remember the first E3 where they spent more time at E3 talking about WonderBook than Vita. At that point I assumed it was a low priority to them and waited on it to see how they'd support.
Very drastic coming from the incredible first party support the PS3 had and only Tearaway got the new IP from a top tier dev treatment.

It would make more sense. I mean, it's not like the Vita is coming back to life because it's had a 4th birthday.

2016 might be its last big year
Though i expect games to continue to come well into 2017

Not in line to get a successor either which is a real shame
Nintendo NX is something im keeping an eye on for the future beyond 2016-17
Not going to toss my Vita anytime soon though.
While at least a third party trigger grip does exists you are still at the mercy of developers if you can actually use it for remote play.
Since Sony doesn't allow the customization of control profiles for remote play, if a developers maps L2/R2 on the front touch pad the trigger grip becomes useless.
I wish Sony would fix this. A simple virtual DS4 controller and you can select which button should be mapped to what on the Vita would be ideal.
It really doesn't feel like Sony put much care into implementing this feature. Similar to in general their handling of the Vita.
But happy birthday Vita. I still love you.
I never expected a handheld to become one of my primary gaming platforms.
I bought a Vita last week after my girlfriend strongarmed convinced me to buy it for her after it went on sale at GameStop ... and she'd already bought Hatsune Miku f 2nd and imported Hatsune Miku f. She loves it and she breathed in those Hatsune games.
It's a neat little device. I dug through the vat of clearance games at my nearby Walmart and actually found 21 Vita games in there! I was kind of excited because I know how hard it is to find physical Vita games in the wild, LoL. Ended up buying Killzone, Freedom Wars and Tearaway for a combined $43 after doing some pricematching. Probably going to get the two Senran Kaguras and Wipeout eventually, too.
Is Gravity Rush worth buying on the Vita instead of the PS4? I know it just got that Remastered edition, but it originally came out on the Vita and is one of its better games.

Zero Escape 3 and Odin Sphere Leiftrasir for me.
I'd totally post it if there was an easy way to reverse gifs in GIMP. Though the DSs screaming as the Vita climbs into its coffin probably wouldn't make much sense either.
Still the best system in years, if you ask me. I wish I still had my beautiful white one I got on AC: Liberation's launch day. Sad it got stolen, but now I have a aqua blue slim. Still love it. Also went ahead and got a Vita TV. Being able to play these games on a TV is a godsend sometimes.

The Vita was a victim of time. At the end of the day the market it was targeting does not want a dedicated handheld anymore. That market sailed at the turn of the decade.
I personally view the Vita similar to the Sega Saturn. They were two mainstream platforms that were crafted to be the ultimate experience in a dying market in gaming. In the Vita's case it was cutting edge portable gaming, with the Saturn it was cutting edge 2D gaming and "arcade in your living room" types of games. Both systems seemed to be stuck in between an awkward definition of sales as it sold more than a failed system but less than a successful one, which is further obscured that they were reasonably successful in Japan but didn't do much to make an impact in the West. On top of that both platforms seemed to specialize in highly niche Japanese games.
Not saying the systems are the exact same. However, they do seem pretty similar to one another.

Yep, just expressing my opinion, the vita is trash. Delete it fat.

The Vita is trash, does anyone in the GP care about it? NOPE? Even the homeland didn't seem to care about it.
Sony please, no more trash handhelds. Stick to movies.

No Gran Turismo, No Ace Combat, No Soul Calibur. As a racing games fan, air or space combat fan, weapon fighting game fan, WRPG fan, theres simply not much.
Both PSP and NDS had great catalogs, Vita in other hand is quite dead for several.
Dissagree all you want, the catalag is absolutely medicre.
