Sony screws customers, as usual

[RolloTheGreat]

What is better in that segment?

Overall? Almost any current flagship phone beats it soundly- vastly superior battery life, significantly higher resolution screen, exponentially faster load times, significantly larger and deeper library and significantly more power.

BTW- we have an original Vita with the OLED screen, it's just a bad ass portable.

Without a doubt the best one, I also have the Playstation TV that plays all of the Vita games- Shield console absolutely roflstomps that into the ground in everything.

The biggest problem with the Vita is its', at best, pathetic library. Yes, as a *serious* games machine I would take my phone over a Vita without hesitation. There just simply isn't enough worth playing on it. This was entirely due to Sony's absurd NIH syndrome.

Phones don't have decent controllers, Vita does.

Shield isn't truly portable, Vita is. By this I mean the Shield is a large, cumbersome device comparatively. Vita can be pocketed, you need a man purse or back pack to tote a Shield. (unless you want people to point and laugh as you carry around a Xbox controller looking toy.

I get that Shield is superior, but it's not a pocket console like Vita or 3DS.
