Dammit Sony, you just had to improve upon it and then you went and fucked it up with the Vita :/

    Nah, DS Lite was the sweet spot. Best of both worlds with GBA and DS game selection, pocket sized.

    Shame the hinges crap out on it though.

      Sweet spot for the Nintendo world 100% agreed, but not for portable gaming at large. Nintendo made a lot of concessions on raw power to bring price down

      PSP, while more expensive, hit a solid sweet spot between portability and power. It truly felt like you were playing on just a small console rather than a DS which gave the distinct feeling of playing on something “portable”

        My only experience with the PSP was the original one with the weird discs; i found it severely lacking in games

          Oh man yea there was like 3 iterations between the original and the Vita. In the beginning there was not a whole lot, but towards the end there were a ton of games and a lot of bangers. I think there were like 600+ total games released by the end

          God of War, GTA Vice City, Burnout, Ace Combat to name a few excellent classics

      CFW on the new 3DS XL is perfect for me. I don’t need it to fit in a pocket except a jacket pocket, and it has access to all the GB through 3ds games, a surprisingly good battery life, and more importantly, decent quality screens.
