The PS Vita didn’t fail Sony...Sony failed the Vita. :(

I love my vita to this day. I find it infuriating that sony created such an amazing product, shot themselves in the foot through lack of publicity and overpriced accessories and then blamed underwhelming sales on lack of interest. An updated vita using today's level of mobile device power would be an absolute monster.

No ones gonna talk about how this guy presented this so well? Now that's skills 🔥👏

0:39 that sound... Just shoved nostalgia in my face

I want another portable console from Sony... :(

Kids now a days don't know how important the psp was for everyone's childhood

The fact that PSP came out when PS2 was relevant and PS3 was just coming into play, and the fact that PSP had similar graphics to the PS2 on the go was mind boggling

I tried breaking open my UMD when I first got it. Thought it was a case.

Bro, I wasn't ready for that PSP startup.

PSP was so far ahead of its time man. Absolutely amazing machine.

The PSP was not shorting of mind blowing when it first came out. I was still playing a GBA advance when I got my first PSP!

I JUST GOT HIT BY A WAVE OF NOSTALGIA THAT PSP STARTUP IS MY CHILDHOOD

You know, I bet if the psp go was released at today’s era and partnered up with cellular companies, it would suite well.

If only Vita didn't had that garbage SD card ... That's what killed the Vita in the end and this is so sad ! This is why the sales were not good at all . I am sure 100% that if PS Vita had a normal SD card , it would have been doing very good even today but we can't change time .

The PSP is my favorite handheld console of all time. So far ahead of it’s time, insane library and holds up incredibly well to this day. I was born in 1993 so the whole PS2/PSP era is my golden age of gaming and nostalgia.

As one of the few people who still regularly play a vita, I went to Japan last year and my mind was blown to see vita games still in mainstream gaming stores

I still use the PS Vita. I was one of the first people to hack it and now the PS Vita hacking scene has become pretty active. You can even buy "micro SD card to memory stick" converters for the PS Vita. I can play GB, GBA, Nintendo DS, PS1, MS-DOS, PSP, Sega Genesis, N64, Super Nintendo games on it. With the 128GB micro SD card, I can fit most of my favorite games on it. p.s. The proprietary memory cards were what killed the PS Vita. It's pretty sad.

I still have my PSP 1000 and love it dearly. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years already. So many childhood memories

The PSP proved that u don't need high end graphics to sell a portable console unlike the Vita, u need a library of games, Nintendo realized that, that's why they are on top

I cried watching this, I still have my PSP and spending my time with it has always been the thing that has helped me through my adolescent years.

Is youtube broken? There's no way this guy can only have 27k subs...

own both a psp 3000 and a psvita 2000 and still regularly buy games for the vita, i love me little vita

This was one of the coolest videos that explained about the PSP models.

Its very rare thats I watch an entire 15+ minute KZfaq video thats NOT a tutorial. What a masterclass presentation. I love the PSP. Got one in 2011, right as I got out of high school. Just bought a secondhand one online to use for emulation. I never played the PSVita but would sure love to try.

Damn I always felt PSP's were badass. So much more potential then the DS series. They just handled it wrong I feel at the start and by the time they got it down it was to late.

They can revise the system. They can stuff it with 8-16 gigs of ram, a snapdragon or Tegra X1 chip, & a large battery. Cut out phone network access thing to reduce production cost, most people use wifi anyway. Put a large battery, and contract razor for that 120hz touch screen.

I remember well begging my mom to get me the PSP in 2007. Ended up getting the package that came with ATV off-road blazin trails and lords of dog town movie. The PSP was future in the early 00’s. Kids now a days have no clue... the PSP was the iPhone of our generation. I actually went and bought a 1000,3000, vita, and the speakers you could mount your PSP on.

This might be my single favorite video on KZfaq. It’s so good I find myself returning to it regularly, and the quality is so high. Thank you for giving the PSP the respect it deserve!

A PSP 3000 running CFW and expanded SD is the best handheld of all time. Mine has over 300 PS1 games, 100 PSP games, and thousands of NES SNES GB GBA and Genesis games. All for under $125. You can’t beat that...

I can't believe those bastards just gave up. I've always been big on handhelds and I always prefer sony to nintendo when it comes to gaming.

This video was what introduced me to the PSP, my favorite console by far. Thank you so much TNVGAMING!

Best video I’ve seen, dude covered every question I was looking for in one video.

It was ahead of its time🥺

Oh and it was also a handheld porn device!!! For people that did not have phones.

Great presentation. First glance at the intro and I don't annoyingly feel like skipping to the end. Kudos good content creator.

Great work on this video... Kept me glued to the screen

Despite never owning a PSP, I got the Vita myself. I really do have fun with it as I always enjoyed the games that were available. From Assassin's Creed III Liberation, Gravity Rush and my JRPG games. The Vita deserved more love. I do hope Sony continues in the handheld system but if not then it will be an end to a great era.

man i love your presentation, its so clean and done well!

This is the first of your videos. thank you for being honest and giving us the numbers. definitely subscribing for more videos.

Picked up a psp 3000 and a 2000 vita recently. I can confidently say they're outstanding handhelds. I really slept on both these consoles as a kid and it's a delight to have them as an adult. Nice, detailed presentation dude. This ruled

I really enjoyed this video. The quality and presentation was fantastic.

anyone remember opening the UMD door fixes the psp if it doesnt boot up or if a game freezes? 😂

What a fantastic overview. Thank you!

great looking video lads. I particularly like the backing music.

Amazing video!!! I have the Vita 2000 and it's great. Learned a lot about the PSP with this video, and was truly surprised that the original PSP had WiFi and could access the PS Store.. I didn't even know there was a PS Store back then.

I can't seem to find this in the comments, so... *The PS Vita Didn't Just Die, it Was Murdered*

Why am I just now finding this video! Awesome video!

Video is so well done man, subscribed

Even though I have been a subscriber to your channel for a long time, somehow with my busy work schedule I missed this video--so glad KZfaq recommended it to me so here I am admiring your all-white handhelds. I'm in love

For me, PS Vita is also my favorite handheld system so far. It's so handy/lightweight (in comparison to the Switch) and it had so much potential with the touchscreen in the front and back and the camera! Love Tearaway for trying out all the features the vita had!

Sure was a gaming era and I'm glad I was apart of it all and got to experience it when they were all new! Recently got my old psp and vita out of storage and began playing them again, brings back so many good memories! ☮

Thanks for the PS Vita nostalgia. I got it at a pivotal time in my life and I have so many good memories with it back in 2014

What a solid, professional and informative review. Loving it my man. Super badass👍👍

Damn! You got them all in white! Looks so good

Why do I like this vide so much? I am planning to buy a psp 2000 and this video helped me decide ! Thanks!

well explained, and detailed video, thank you for this comparison!

PSVita was the best. I bought one even though I was discouraged about the memory card with it being so pricey. was still a good buy and I wish I still had my PSVita. with the success of the Nintendo switch Sony should really rethink about updating the PS Vita or making a new portable.

Awesome! I love handheld consoles and videos/documentaries about it.

That psp boot up sound is just so classic and nostalgic!

Very much useful insight on the history of Playstation vita... Nice! 👌

I have a 3.65 Henkaku Fat PS Vita and love it to death. Beautiful OLED screen, amazing games, confortable responsive analogs, it's the best handheld gaming console by far. And as it's hacked, you can play PSP, Nes, SNes, Genesis, CPS-1, CPS-2, etc, games on it.

Good video, I like how you compared them.

I luv this video thanks man for this awesome comparison

Great video! I have multiple PSPs but the 3000 is always my go-to. I do notice the scanlines but the quality of the screen is so much improved I truly can't complain. It's a great trade off, and I still use my PSP regularly. I do also own a Vita, which I bought used, and only played a couple of the exclusive games on it (like Gravity Rush) before the memory card situation became too much of an issue. I think if they had just stopped being stubborn and offered a version of the Vita that took some form of SD card (even if it was in addition to their format) the Vita would have been a success. I do hope for another handheld from Sony and I hope they focus more on accessibility than anything else.

The Vita is an amazing console, and thanks to hackers, it finally showed much of its true potential. When people talk about console hackers in a bad way, thinking they are mostly for piracy, I'd point people to the amazing job they've done with Vita. SD2Vita to replace the expensive Sony memory cards, Moonlight, VitaGrafix, LOLIcon, udcd_uvc for video output and capture, the addition of analog controls on some PSP games as well as using the second analog (NOT the default sony implementation. Real analog controls and even remapped functions), Adrenaline basically makes you have 2 systems inside of just one, completely emulating the PSP's XMB. This along with all the emulators available for PSP and VIta, that you can use in a single console, makes it my favorite portable ever.

I’ve had a PSP since I was around three or four years old and to see this vid almost made me cry looking back at all the fun times I had not only with the PSP but just in general back then.

amazing review man! I play my psp games on my android device with an emulator and a controller. It brings back memories!

Thank you for being a great informant

In 2004, I still remember how dang advanced the PSP 1000 was. It was high school and still two years before the iPhone but this thing was like somebody shrunk the PS2, threw in an iPod and gave it advanced features you just didn’t find anywhere else. It was incredible.

I enjoyed the PSP for years and have only come into Vita ownership in 2023. Wow what a console. It links to my PS4 controller and is a brilliant unit with so many good games. Thats led on to me purchasing all the PSPs now. This video helped me decide that I wanted to get every one and I am pleased I have. Thanks for this informative video.

i like the video man! i learnned so many thing about the cycle of the psp because im about to buy a second hand psp cuz thats my childhood dream buying a psp

Ps Vita was basically a phone but with built in emulators I never liked it but I respect people who do no hate, I mostly liked the old psp handhelds.

I like how through the psp sony was just like: "WHAT DO YOU WNAT FROM US PLAYERS?!"

Interesting video! I love videos like these because this is the kind of stuff that I talk to my friends about any time they want information on tech or video games. I had 2 PSP 3000's back in the day. One was my Silver Model that my parents bought me. It came bundled with Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters in the box, and being a giant R&C Fan, this was awesome to me. Lots of people didn't like the game, but I did. We lost it while moving so a few years later, my grandma bought be another one used at a Gamestop, a Black one. Then I found my old silver one, so I gave my black one to my friend that he still has to this day. My silver one wasn't as lucky as it broke on me and I never bothered to buy the parts to fix it with. Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles, and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker were my favorite games on the system. I want to pick up a PSP Go the next time I have $100 and I don't want to spend it responsibly, just to hack it and rip my UMDs to it as a way to play PSP games again. However, I recently got myself a PSVita after hovering over the idea for years, because I had recently just become a Persona Fan after Joker's introduction to Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and wanted to give Persona 4 Golden a Shot. That and Being able to play Console Accurate Ports of MGS2 and MGS3 on the go was another reason that I caved and bought the system. I got myself a PSVita 1000 as opposed to the 2000 really just because it had an OLED screen instead of the LCD screen the 2000 series moved onto. (Obligatory "You forgot to mention that they cut costs with the PSVita 2000 by making the screen a regular LCD screen instead of an OLED Screen!" Comment, but I'm sure that thousands of people have already said this below.) I really like my PSVita even if I don't use it as much as I'd like to. They're so hard to find in America nowadays that I just imported a lightly used one that still had the box and inserts from Japan since the Vita is Region Free. As someone who bought a PSVita long after its "Death," I still find it an incredibly fun system to use. Now for that PSVita TV. tl:dr of the PSVita 1000 v.s. 2000 is that the 2000 is thinner, lighter, and more colorful than the 1000, moved to USB for charging, and added a whopping 1GB of internal storage. However it downgraded to an LCD screen from the 1000's OLED screen, which to some may be a deal breaker. The 1GB of storage doesn't sound like a lot, and it isn't, but it wasn't meant to be used for downloading games onto the system, it was intended to just be used for save data and updates for physical games if you didn't care about digital and didn't want to spend money for a ridiculously priced proprietary memory card. However, once you add a memory card, you can't use the 1GB of internal memory anymore, which is dumb. Sony really was just greedy and wanted to sell overpriced memory cards, even though they could've easily used SD cards.

Great entertaining and informative video!

The PSP Go is the only PSP I own and I absolutely love it! It's perfect for emulators and the size is great!

Sony/PlayStation: Aight PlayStation Portable we out Nintendo: *$WITCH*

Great guy! Great Video!

now this was a great video! so much knowledge! i can't believe that I could play with a dual shock controller on my psp 😅 that's new to me. Very well presented XD ! great job

Love both my PSP and PS Vita. Fun systems alongside the DS/3DS. Together you can't go wrong with portable fun!

god only knows how i love my psp! im still using it since 2008,defitnily worth the money i spent at that time

That PSP 2000 with the Vader image on the back is the exact model I got when it came out as a kid! I also got Wipeout Pure with it! The nostalgia is real...

Tx for the clear history lesson on these machines, I think some of these units / UMD'S will become collectors items in the coming years.

With the introduction of smart phones and apps, consumers had to decide weather to get a smart phone or a psp. The decision was clear. With the advent of smart phone and the impatience of Sony the demand decreased. But, I believe that if they were to revive this device, they would sell well in this time. Wonderful history lesson. Well done.

PSP 3000 The best HD graphics Full I really like it

I'm amazed you kept your PSP collection in such good condition. Mine are scuffed and scratched from my childhood lol.

Amazing video!!!!!

You got Beautiful collections! My Favorite Handheld 1. PSP 2. PS Vita 3. 3DS 4. Switch

I like the way he says the word “connectivity”

Thanks for this. I still love my PS Vita 1000 too and use it with my PS4 often and have lots of downloaded games for it on that super expensive memory card.

interesting wow i just became an adult in my late teenage years when the psp go came out and picked one up back on launch and had no idea about the docking feature until just now why did i not know about that when it first came out? thats very impressive thanks for the content dude

I just realized that the ps3 was like the psp but on the big screen

I remember being so excited about the vita. It was truly the perfect portable device. So sad Sony failed it

Good channel +good content= my sub

I got one of these recently and it's my go to portable, even above the analogue pocket

this video is 100% good :)

Dude I just want to go back in time to when I had my PSP (still have it now). Endless hours of GTA Liberty city and LUMINES. Then came the modding scene and the next thing I was playing Sonic Advance 3 again and pokemon emerald. The PSP was way ahead of its time and its functionality left the DS in the dust. I had so many fond memories of that powerful device. Also just recently got a Vita second hand which luckily came with a game and I also got LUMINES electronic symphony, loving it so far. It's too bad that Sony have left Nintendo to own the handheld market. I'd love to see them try again.

I have the first gen vita and my gosh, I booted it up for the first time in years last week and it's the best thing I ever did. So many great games and memories with it.

Hats off to the efforts
