Will Vita be a cult classic or forgotten 10 years from now?

I think the Vita will go down as one of the most underrated systems ever created. The sheer amount of games I have on my system available for me to play on the go is outstanding. I recently got a 64gb memory card and feel like I've unlocked Vita's true potential now that most of my library is digital. Just looking at my Vita screen I have Vita games like Killzone Mercenary, Gravity Rush, LBP, Tearaway, Uncharted, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Soul Sacrifice, and Freedom Wars. Looking at my PS1 classics, I have games like Mega Man X4, Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon, Alundra, and Suikoen. PSP games I have MGS Peace Walker, Lunar Silver Star, Tactics Ogre, and many more I can purchase if I want to like FF Dissidia, Jak, Siphon Filter. Then there's indies like OlliOlli, Velocity 2x, Hotline Miami 2, Hell Divers, Rogue legacy. The Vita has also become home to the visual novel with games like Danganronpa, The Walking Dead, Steins; Gate, and the upcoming Zero Escape 3. Not to mention multiplats like Rayman Legends, Dragon's Crown, Final Fantasy X, MGS HD Collection, Child of Light and more. Also don't forget PS Now and remote play. Then there's upcoming games like Persona 4 Dancing All Night and Severed. There's also the shared library that Vita benefits from by being PS4's sidekick.

So my answer is yes, I think the system will be revered in due time. Especially when it becomes cheap and more people get their hands on it. What do you think, SW? Will Vita be appreciated in the history books?

What's a vita?

Not to sure... That all depends on how the library holds up.

I know right now I'm getting plenty of use out of my vita, but it's almost all because of the remote play feature which is amazing!

Calling it.

In 10 years the Vita will rival the Dreamcast lol and lolvita.

ps:love the vita.

A cult classic.

It's already not appreciated,how will it be appreciated 10 years from now?

People will remember the vita as they remember the neo geo and jaguar

an overpriced piece of shit that had no idea wtf it was doing and average people look at it an go why does that exist when I show it to them.

10 years from now? The vita is already forgotten now. Even by Sony

Cult classic. I can imagine it getting indie games ten years from now.

It's already a cult system.

Damn, beat me to it. lol

I already forget about it.

It has to be considered good first. Then it can later be listed as a classic.

Lems forget good systems fast.

Vita will be fine then.

You probably would like the Vita.

10 years from now? its being forgotten now.

Good system with terrible support and a massive lack of games, completely forgetful.

A cult classic by a small few, but most gamers ten years by now would have forgotten about the Vita.

^^ This. I don't believe there is a single game in development for the PSV that I'm planning on buying. It's a dead husk of a once wonderful potential.

I use mine for PSP games more than Vita games. The PSP will be remembered fondly. The only way the vita will be remembered is as a joke.

Dude shut up, stop targeting me in threads when I'm saying what everyone else is and bringing up completely unrelated shit. I'm about to report you for blatant trolling now, this shit has got to stop...

Will do the same

It still amazes me that Sony dropped support for the thing so fast.

Let's see where Sony is financially is in 10 years and then make that call.

It would be an undeserved cult classic. That system's fucking irrelevant in so many ways, yes it gets a lot of quality games, it's a beautiful piece of tech, and plenty of people can say they prefer to play certain type of games on the go as opposed to on a console or a PC. But its exclusives that are worth a damn can be counted on one hand, the lion's share of its quality stuff can be played on wildly superior gaming machines in consoles and the PC, all of which have frankly compelling advantages than "I can play my games on the go".

It's a fucking failure.

It will be like the Sega Game Gear. Very good technology that never really took off because it's parent company abandoned it. That being said I still have my Game Gear and still play it every once in awhile. So I will say not a cult classic, but not really forgotten either.

you've gotta be kidding me, right? but there is a chance.

I use it more for BC PSP titles than anything else. I have some great games for it but its a lacking system imo. It'll be remembered as somewhat abandoned potential and having some good games.

Not sure. I have mine but the main purpose for that is I cannot download PS1 games to my PS4, so I have the Vita for that instead. I do think it is a good system but does it have the the games for people who aren't like me? Only time will tell.

that depends entirely if something better from Sony comes along, or this is the last venture into handheld gaming Sony has for quite a while

if this is it, expect people to wallow in nostalgia over it like it was the handheld Dreamcast

if it's succeeded by a better Sony handheld, I don't expect as much praise about it, after all if its successful everybody will be praising the new thing

Don't think Blabadon and the TC are enough of an audience to give it cult classic status.

Exactly what I thought when I saw this thread.

a lolclassic, lolassic and/or lolilassic.

let me put it like this, you'll be a cult classic in SW for making lol worthy threads, lolvita will be in the same league.

I enjoy my Vita but I don't think it has enough stand out exclusive games to make it worthy of note in the history books. It will be forgotten by most.

Hats off to you sir, this gif legitimately made me lol

Maybe if it gets hacked to the same level as PSP, Vita has the least worthwhile library on the market, not to say there aren't decent games, but people are rightfully buying other systems and games instead.

Hmm is the Gamecube considered a cult cIassic? It was better back then than the Vita is now.

Cult classic especially for Persona 4 fans, plus Cross-Buy feature as well

It will be remembered as that overpriced pos from Sony with mediocre games.

You are all so incredibly ignorant. Consoles that have not sold well like GC Wii U Dreamcast and Sega Saturn are know for being awesome niche consoles among real gamers, not idiots who l'm sure spend more time on internet forums than actually playing games! Vita included! Have fun with your western bile regurgitated HD re-releases of already HD games....Seriously prove to me the PS4 is better than the Vita based on EXCLUSIVE CONTENT.

I like the Vita, but mainly as a PS4 accessory.

I really like my Vita, hardware wise it's probably my favorite console I've ever owned, games wise it's a to each their own scenario, I love the games it gets, but I know I'm in the minority there.

I don't think it will achieve cult status though given it's game situation

Game Gear. That's what it is.

i think it will be fondly remembered down the line. its just a shame sony never really backed it very well. it was also a bit snookered by mobile..its timing was unfortunate.

but its the best mobile device to play games on and it has some cracking games.

it would be really cool if sony unlocked the bootloader and released the source code for the OS and let people tinker with it. only when they and their partners are done with it of course.

It's a shit machine.
