I was fond of my psp. I adored the DS though. It just gave me exactly what i was looking for at the time. Interestingly roles are reversed this time and the Vita is one of my favourite consoles of all time while my 3DS sits collecting dust. Vita is a beautiful machine.
The psp was certainly technically impressive for the time. I bought mine in 2008 after crisis core was released - which was a wonderful game. I think my expectations were hampered a little by Sony's insistence that the console was home gaming on the go however. The failure to include quality of life things like a second analogue stick made playing some games a real chore. And the UMD format wasn't ideal. It was just so noisy.
There were amazing games on this system though. The 2 god of war titles, dissidea, crisis core, daxter, lumines, ratchet size matters, valkyria chronicles 2, the 3rd birthday, kingdom hearts, peacewalker etc were wonderful. I remember the nonsense sony spouted about the dead pixel issue though. They have come a long way since then!
