Vita hackers suggest Vita successor is in the works

[DinohScene]

Whats vita successor? When will it release?

It's a speculation.
Not a confirmation.

I could see Sony creating a less powerful PS4 that is very much the same idea of the Nintendo Switch, and treating that device as the Vita's successor. If it were truly a PS4 though, then it would have to be all digital based as it obviously wouldn't be able to play Blu-Ray discs as a portable console. So that could become something of a barrier to entry, but I could still see such hardware as being viable for Sony.

But, if we're talking a straight up Vita successor that plays its own games that the PS4 wouldn't receive, I honestly don't see that happening at this point, as I just don't see much of a logic in a powerful handheld at this point with a separate library from a powerful console that only looks marginally better than the handheld in question. Heck, the Vita makes little sense as a handheld at this point, at least with the DS and 3DS you were getting gaming experiences that couldn't easily be recreated on a console. (Granted the Wii U is capable of recreating those gaming experiences, but even still the Wii U proved to not really work as a console version of the same kinds of dual screen gaming we saw on the DS and 3DS, because the two screens were not nearly as easily to take both in at the same time.)

As long as we can use memory sticks again or even........... SD CARDS, i'll see it as "INTERESTING" until i actually believe it. NO MORE PRIORITY MEMORY CARDS.

If they are making a new vita will be more powerfull than switch. Sony like to show hardware superiority.
But i dont belive they will do it hdmi. They want to keep these things apart.
Still, the new portable probabily will have interations with ps4. Maybe special missions to do with vita. Double screen interations, vita 2 games hidden inside new ps4 games do be transfered, and of couse stream and A.R. games. So many possibilities to be explorated.

I think you mean proprietary.

inb4 it's graphically superior to the switch but doesnt sell because it's not nintendo.

Yes, because that's why the vita failed...

Sony should let nintendo have all the psone classics for sale on the switch in exchange for a % of each classic title sold.

I think they are working on a successor. Code name is PSP3. I have heard it called Vita2 also.

One of the "questions" (rumors?) says a Miku game will be a PSP3 launch title, or it may be such a title.

Sony will win this battle. PSP3 is designed from the ground up to be a portable gaming machine. Either they could release a similar machine for less money, or a more powerful machine for the same money. Without wasting money on: grip, controllers, communication chips, communication docks. I'm worried it will weigh a ton due to its battery.

I don't think Yifanlu's logic makes a lot of sense, but I do think Sony is working on PSP3.

I know i mean NO SPECIFIC MEMORY CARDS THAT ARE EXPENSIVE AS THE GAMES COST.

The switch doesnt have games either, but it's nintendo

Invalid argument. We are only a month in, and these publishers have games planned. The Vita support was dropped by SONY.

Seriously, give it AT LEAST a year.

 

[Pomegrenade]

Honestly it might fail like the vita if there arent enough good games, or the games are expensive to develop

*warning nintendo fanboy post*

Eh. I did at first, it got old quick. Sorry for being a stick in the mud. lol

As a platform, Vita is fully supported. If you are a developer, you can still get Vita dev kits if interested in developing for Vita (to name one example of platform-level support).
Maybe you mean "first party games" when you say support, in which case you'd be right. Just say that next time, maybe.

PSP has been dropped though.

Fixed. That's partially what I meant. I also was saying that they did with the Vita what Nintendo did with the Wii U.

 

[Deboog]

What's the point? There is no way they will make it more powerful than the Switch whilst making it cheaper than the 3DS, so it would have to fill the niche of somewhat powerful and somewhat cheap.

Either that or they can go in a completely new direction.

 

[the_randomizer]

Yes, because that's totally gonna be more successful than the PS Morte--, er Vita

 

[cvskid]

I figured sony would have been done in the handheld market considering they way they treat the ps vita.

might want to look at this possibility also

New type of portable battery

If this ever dev complete for market should step up even the switch
But would be good for all portable devices
