I still want one though. 
There's too many RPGs on the hardware for me to not get one this gen.

Sony's support for it has always been pathetic, and yet its still doing ok.

No, it's the worst selling game system

as long as i can still play ps classics and indie games then i'm happy with it.
They should've just dropped the PS4/Vita bundle that was rumored. Vita picked up a bit when the Quad dropped with the whole remote play thing. Idk why they didn't expound on that
People need to stop comparing the Vita to other consoles, or even the 3DS for that matter. It's a very specific platform for a very specific gamer.
If you stop looking at it as a barometer to gauge the success of Sony by, and strart looking at it as more of a portable PS3, then you can have some fun with the thing. They got it in the hands of 95% of everyone who would ever want one at this point (myself included). It's just not something that was ever going to sell 400 million units. Because of that, it's not going to have the huge expanse of games that a platform like the Wii or PS2 did/does.
But even for a hardcore gamer, there's plenty to choose from. And unless you're a very specific type of gamer (who commutes on a bus for 5 hours a day), the library of games at this point should be enough to keep you busy for the next 10-15 years. Probably the longest I've ever sat down to play my Vita was an hour at a time... if I'm going to be gaming longer than that I'll turn on my 3 or 4. shyt, FFX/FFX2 should probably keep me busy on that thing until the next world cup--no lie.
So, if you're not a Sony gamer, there's absolutely no point in getting one. But if you've been playing playstation games for 20 years and like the brand, it's pretty stupid on your part to pass on a Vita because of sales numbers, or speculating if the thing is going to be "dead" in a year, 2 years, 5 years. The thing could literally "die" tomorrow, and you'd be good until you die with the library of games out there for it.

The vita is probably the thing I enjoy playing the most out if all the shyt I own.
The software(os) is miles ahead of ps3/ps4, it's the definition of pick up and play. Love being able to suspend and resume any game, at any time, and cons back to the exact spot I left it at.
The multi tasking us clutch as fukk when I'm playing a game and need to figure out wtf to do next. Can just suspend thegame, open up web browser and search real quick. Smooth as shyt.
Add in the fact that I bought the damn thing for 120, own around 10 games for it but only paid for one (and that was MGS for 10 bucks). I'd say the vita is worth it for ps plus alone.
