I really liked the Vita but I picked it up after it was basically already dead in the West. The library was pretty weak, at the end of its life there was a decent amount of stuff worth playing but I can't imagine sitting keeping up with it post-launch. Wasted potential for sure and lots of things that I wish were brought over from Japan but weren't.I would say as an obscure console the PSVITA(PSP sucessor).
The design of the handheld is amazing but the lack of a exclusive title and Sony ignoring him aswell made him go to the dark.
Truth is, the console got a lot of games(in japan he received a lot), and for the emulator lovers he is considered of the best emulation devices to play, not only on hardware but because of the controls too.
Makes me sad that Sony left the portable console market and considering the high sale numbers of consoles and the myriads of purchased studios, we could expect many amazing portable consoles and not limited to mobile game junk.I really liked the Vita but I picked it up after it was basically already dead in the West.

Tbh I don't think they would have been able to compete with the Switch so it probably would have just gone the same as 3DS vs Vita in terms of market share. The 3DS winning that war was tragic because the Vita was objectively the better device, it just didn't have the dev support it needed. The Switch is great and has massive support due to being a console first, so I think it would probably win on both fronts and make it so the PlayStation Hypothetical would be DOA.Makes me sad that Sony left the portable console market and considering the high sale numbers of consoles and the myriads of purchased studios, we could expect many amazing portable consoles and not limited to mobile game junk.
I prefer using this little known console called the PS2, had some real bangers come out on it.List some gaming here consoles that are not mainstream, or just very unknown.

A Zellers near me had a Virtual Boy set up from around the time Virtual Boy came out until the N64 was released and they replaced it with an N64 Demo kiosk. The only game I've played on an actual Virtual Boy is Wario Land which is phenomenal. I wanted to get one, but my mother wouldn't let me because of the warning on the box. I didn't know until years later that Wario Land was not representative of the library as a whole and that most of the games were terrible.Saw a virtual boy for the first time in my life at Super Potato in Osaka. Anyone could try it out and it was a boxing game, I believe it to be Teleroboxer. When tried looking into it I was greeted with "YOU LOST YOU ARE WORTHLESS AND WEAK" which I thought was hilarious.
How is that even possible!?was a less enjoyable experience than Tiger's handheld LCD games that were popular in the early 1990s.
Because those old handhelds were playable. Imagine this:How is that even possible!?
