It’s good to see Vita rising with the new software update that fixed and upgraded many Vita apps that were working slowly. The portable console was also helped by some big-name game releases.
Thanks Gematsu.
why would 51441 people buy a 3DS when they could buy a XL?
unless there cheaper over there, but here there the same price in fact retailers have stopped stocking the older models.
shame they stopped selling them here i preferred the nicer shinny metallic look of the older model.
one thing i will never understand, every time a system is redesigned it has to look worse.
why?
fat to slim ps3, fat looked WAY nicer!
even slim to super slim ps3, the plastic of the disc tray rattles so much its driving me nuts!
the rest of the console the shinny black scratches so god dam easily, ive only had mine for a month and it already looks like a tigers attacked it!
only device thats been redesigned that actually does not look worse is the 360.
but why, why does every redesigned system have to look worse than its replacement?
why would people buy a psp over a psvita? no more good games are being made for it
@narwall: Although there are not many games anymore, you forgot the biggest things the PSP was made for. Homebrew. You can play whatever you want on it, pokemon, pirated PSP games, emulated Nintendo games, Gamebuy colour. That is why people still buy it.
i was one those people till i got a vita
@narwall: I had a psp too, did all sorts of emulation.
you played ftb3 ?
Yeah, but not online. Just the single player since pirated version’s MP didn’t work.
