About
As of 2026, it's 14 years old.
The Vita was gorgeous: a crisp OLED screen, dual analog sticks, and near-console muscle in your hands. On paper it should have ruled the handheld world.
Instead Sony saddled it with absurdly expensive proprietary memory cards, then slowly stopped feeding it games as the world drifted toward phones. It became a cult darling kept alive by indies and homebrew long after Sony stopped pretending it existed.
A handheld too beautiful to die and too neglected to live — the gaming world's most polite ghost.
