anyone who actually thinks that microsoft would be able to hold a candle against the 3DS, especially with their tiny amount of actually iconic characters and franchises, in which most couldn't be transferred to mobile gaming, is an idiot

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
10 years ago this idea might have worked but won't work today. Most people have tablets/smart phones and the DS as far as I know dominates.

It would only be a waste of money and time on M$'s part.

Littlebigplanet and Uncharted were fun. Not $300 worth though. Good thing I got mine at a yard sale.

Persona 4 Golden, Gravity Rush, and Killzone: Mercenary were all great imo.
At this point though I use it to play the Final Fantasy games while I wait on Gravity Rush 2.

The proprietary memory cards really screw'd their chances. But damn that OLED screen is purdy.

What's funny is that Japanese games are really the majority of the market for it. There's hardly any western games and there's hardly any games as well for the thing. The majority of the games are Japanese only. I'm starting to think if the Vita was even intended to lunch outside Japan simply.

That's where it sells best, so it makes sense. It had early support from Ubisoft with AC LIberation. PSP did decent with western devs if I remember right. Vita's problem is that its not selling, so its not worth western devs developing for outside of indies. They've essentially given up supporting it with first party games, so its confirmed weeb machine going forward.

Fuck no, the handheld market is gone, dead. If MS want to try an approach it'd be to truly utilise Windows Phone for the purpose
It's not dead, it's just dominated by one company.

I neither fear, nor despise.
They have tablet games like Halo : Spartan Assault already.
But for a true handheld, no. And that isn't a bad thing.

I personally can't stand handheld gaming anymore. If its not a console, I won't play it.
Last thing I need to do while in town is have my face in some classic Super Mario Bros.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Love life; but take nothing too seriously.
If it hasn't happened by now it never will.
