Rumor: According to a developer, Sony plans to cut off the ability to add new PlayStation Vita titles to the PlayStation Store

The Switch looks so basic in comparison, it's as if the top image is the prototype and bottom the finished product.
They're all on Switch or PS4 these days. Vita is a non-factor in Japan now.
If I didn't know better I'd think the Vita was the more recent product based off that pic. Something about the Switch lite design seems almost.....fisher-price looking?........in that side by side.
And there we have it. The Vita's busiest publisher right now are saying it's false. They will keep churning out easy platinum trophies till the end of time.
Maybe that's the secret. Sony should have made a Fisher price toy!
I certainly prefer the Switch Lite over the Aqua Blue Vita (hate the combination with the dark sticks and border, wish it was entirely blue or had a silver accent), but the black Vita 1000 is just hot af. In terms of ergonomics and design still the best handheld.
"Fisher Price" is like the epitome of lazy console war rhetoric. At the very least y'all need some new material.
Real talk: You can prefer Vita's aesthetic design and you don't have to pretend to be happy about Nintendo online offerings(or lack thereof) but if you're a fan of Vita's brand of "console games on the go" experience you're doing yourself a massive disservice thumbing your nose at the Switch(especially the Switch Lite).
From a hardware/performance standpoint the Switch is a generational leap over the Vita and boasts the two extra shoulder buttons Vita was missing(whilst de-emphasizing touch). From a software standpoint there's a massive overlap when you look at stuff like Musou, Atelier, Final Fantasy and God Eater on Switch now.
No, it's not quite Vita 2 but it's the closest thing you're going to get.(and is like 90% of the way there...)

Tea, it will have budding 3rd party support and good games!
When you put them side to side, the Vita looks like the actual finished product while the Switch lite looks like the prototype you'd show to the team. The Switch lite is so dull-looking.
Well, someone's mad. People are talking about the looks, we all know what both consoles pack in terms of software and OS, you're in a gaming-oriented forum. Relax.
As long as they continue to support the store for downloads for years to come. It would be a shame if I wouldn't have access to my digital library.
Not saying that they would, as PSP is still supported (at least through a PS3).
Actually, now that I'm thinking it, my biggest ask for the PS5 is that it supports PSP and PS Vita transfers.

Thought this was obvious when all of those kickstarter games got their vita versions cancelled last year. Pretty sure it's what Iga saying ,"This decision is largely due to Sony's plans to discontinue the Vita console, ending production of physical copies and stopping certain online store support features," was about.
Makes me wonder how much longer online support will continue. Damn I need a Freedom Wars port to a more relevant platform.
The gamepad is really comfortable to hold(with it's bigger buttons and grips) but thank god they're going for matte finishes nowadays.
Genuinely surprised they never did a PS4 version(whether port or sequel), the game was a decent hit in Japan.
Well, we learned early that the Vita was dead.
So there's that.
That seems rather pointless. Is it costing them a lot of money or something?
That's right. It actually has support and is something people want ;)
Cause Nintendo can't design things. Why are they so adverse to comfort?
SOA Fatal Bullet uses a few assets and some of the gameplay is similar. I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally a FW port.
Vita is deceased. Overly-attached fan is trying to communicate with its spirit. Medium is like "Nah."
Yeah surprised they kept it up this long. I recently hacked my Vita which is usually a sign I'm done with a handheld. Did the same with my PSP in the end.
I'll take the "FIsher-Price" toy with actual support and good games over that corpse youve been dragging around for 5+ years alex
After well over 20 years of this we can say with absolute certainty that we most definitely can't.
You were a good console Vita, I'm sorry your own parent is murdering you like this. Don't worry the Switch will carry on your legacy.
Rest easy.
Rest easy.
Clearly they didn't feel the need to add flair to the switch lite, to make you think you're actually playing a high quality device. They could of thrown some lights, clear buttons to give you the impression you are playing some high quality, high budget device but what for? :)
It's bigger therefore it won't even be very portable. The Vita already barely fits in normal sized pockets.
I still maintain that Vita should have been a slider like the PSP Go for best portability and screen size.
Maybe, but if so a lot got scrapped to make it fit in how GGO gameplay is depicted in the series.
I mean, apart from using guns and having the grapple hook for repositioning (which is just one of the uses in FW), they play very differently.
I enjoyed FB (still have a DLC to clear), but we need a proper new release of FW.
