Sometimes electronics get released that fall by the wayside; missed by the majority and misunderstood along the way. Following the success of the Playstation Portable, Sony released the Playstation Vita; a more powerful, sleek and sexy handheld than its predecessor. But why did it gets passed over? What was it about the machine that people didn’t like? And, more importantly, why should you consider it now over some other options?

The movement in gaming now is that of independant games. Cheaper projects made by smaller groups of people without the huge budgets of AAA gaming, but also selling for a cheaper price. The Playstation Vita was billed as ‘AAA on the go’ but, instead, has become a home for indie games. Cheap, fast and great fun – with the Playstation Vita’s battery life, great screen and ability to pause at any moment it’s fast becoming the electronic device to own for gamers.
