Invizimals is a major franchise for SCEE.
Piracy. They have announced that reason since 2011.

PSP 3000 was awesome ¯\_(ツ_/¯
E-1000, however, had such awful build quality that I'm pretty certain you could snap it in half with your hands.

They really need Micro SD support. It would be a bonus to have the OLED screen back as well.

Yeah, and the one after that was a cut-down model with no wifi. It's just that they were only released in Europe so most people still think the 3000 was the last model.

I don't see why Sony doesn't understand this.

It's baloney, though. The real reason was to subsidize the hardware, which was sold at a loss at first.

I will also add that MicroSD would be the most desired feature for me.

Might get another one than. More buttons for better Remote Play is quite nice. Don't care much for HDMI but I can see why others do and more features are welcome.
Every Vita thread has to have idiotic posts. Nice going posting something that has nothing to do with the topic.

Does the 3DS have piracy issues? Honest question.

If it had an SD slot I would buy this day one ( like many others ). It wont though.
You know, I would think that if they wanted to make this thing work as a viable remote play selling point option, they would make the analog sticks have L3 and R3. Forget smaller form factor and thinner blah, blah, blah. There should be included L2/R2 buttons.
If they included those things, I would definitely upgrade from my OLED model.

Yes.
It exploded since last year. You can even pirate games on the newest FW.

Price/availability of memory cards will sink this before its launched if they don't fix it. And the L2/R2 things people mentioned.

Yes, but not as widespread as DS or PSP was. It's firmware specific, and Nintendo are pretty diligent with updating firmware and limiting new games to specific 'safe' firmware.

Hm, that's interesting. I guess I'll just wait for the memory card prices to go down...
... like that'll ever happen.
Exploded is a pretty big word. It's miniscule compared to the PSP and DS and still much smaller than 360 and PS3 as far as I can tell.

The piracy that doesn't exist since the Vita's software is so locked tight that almost all the hacks have been to the PSP emulator and a Vita emulator is nowhere in sight? They need a better reason than that, especially when Nintendo is busy not giving a fuck about piracy and using SD/MicroSD cards on their handhelds.
Can't transfer files willy nilly to the Vita.
Content manager is really tight. Memory cards won't work elsewhere afaik.
I think there's some weird checking going on too as it can take a long time to transfer files, longer than you'd expect.

Seriously Sony, stop with the Vita unless you're going to have any games that people are interested in Just...
I've had my Vita since the first few months after It came out All I've played is Uncharted, Killzone, Resistance and a Few indies.

I already saw those flash card in the wild, so It is more widespread than people think.

I guess it's just down to taste and what you like to play I guess. I'm not really happy with my Vita. A few more Triple A titles then yeah it'd be good. Don't get me wrong I like some of the indies Vita has to offer but it just needs more titles worth playing like an Infamous on Vita.

How much will this cost Sony? I know the Vita fans are out there. But in force enough to sustain a portable Sony console? We saw what happened the og Vita.
Why? Sony I love my Vita. But please don't do this think smart. R&D cost millions, I'd hate to hear that this item tanks and affects Sony in the long run in turn affecting PS4. Just move on from handhelds. Let Nintendo focus on mobile gaming. Ultimately I maybe wrong, but even if every Gaf memeber bought one of these that still wouldn't make it a success.
Sony should focus on the PS4, PSN, and PS family ecosystem.

lmao. Well put.
Ditto.
If the 3000 is a thing then I will definitely upgrade regardless of screen. My 1000 is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Possibly....It hasn't had big non-Japanese games in a while but I've got very good (non-indie) racing games, fighters, shooters, action-arcade, puzzle, adventure (could do with a few more here) and a few Japanese games. It covers all the genres with really good games. It just hasn't seen many western non-indies in a while. Luckily I'm a fan of those too and only play them on Vita.
Infamous and/or at least God of War should have happened. No denying that. And not laggy remasters. People just didn't buy it here, and it had a lot.
If I look over to alternative handhelds...I see just OoT so I am pretty surprised at complaints, but yeah, taste and all I guess.

Was holding off on a 2000 in case of this. Will import if I have to.

Just sold my 2000 yesterday. Bring it on Sony.
Really the only thing I care about is upgrades to usability in remote play. More shoulder buttons or allow me to use a Ds4 ala PSTV then HdMI it to my TV.
Yes I realize that's a lot to ask for and won't happen.

None of this requires the proprietary cards. They could just use a custom file system on regular MicroSD cards to prevent "willy nilly" transfer of files and restrict access to the content manager which would also do the integrity checks. Just like the 360 did it with USB sticks.
It doesn't.
Japan perhaps?
Yeah it may be....I just can't logically see the point in this. Vita 2000 gave fans everything they wanted and it still doesn't sell.
Again I love my Vita but I like PS even more. I know if they release this a small group of fans will be happy. Will they be happy enough to keep buying new Vita's?
Didn't the 360 get hacked?
