I don't know if Sony would try again. They made so many mistakes.

- High price
- Grossly overpriced memory cards
- No built-in storage
- Very small amount of first party games
- Most first party games were made by B teams, not top talent
- No L2/R2 or L3/R3, making remote play incredibly difficult for some games
- Rear touchpad is useless and made holding the thing very uncomfortable
- Analog sticks slightly too small
- Terrible battery life
- Downright ugly UI

If they do make another handheld, a lot of things need to be done or improved.

- Worthwhile games made by worthwhile studios
- $200 max price point
- SD cards, support SDXC
- Built-in storage, at least 32GB
- At least 1GB RAM system, and 1GB VRAM, 128MB VRAM was just stupid
- Contours for your hands
- No touchpad, touchscreen, gyro/sixaxis or cameras, too expensive for little gameplay benefit
- L2/R2 and L3/R3, if L3/R3 can't be on the sticks then make buttons or something
- Wider, slightly taller analog sticks
- Functional UI, just use the XMB or PS4 UI
- Big battery
- Expanded Wifi capabilities, allow people to use campus/enterprise Wifi

With all the moves they made back when PS4 was revealed- to launch, and as someone who loves playing on Vita, it would make me sad if they didn't make some sort of portable successor. I think, as other people have said, that they could knock it out of the park, if they have learned from their PS4 launch, compared to the Vita one. Hopefully they launch that Japanese bundle in the states/Europe/etc, and that it does well enough to encourage them. Vita owners buy games, and a lot of them. We just need more Vita owners.. 😓

Only if there's still a market there. I hate to say it, but smartphones and tablets have taken over a large chunk of the mobile gaming market. Nintendo's managed to hold on to their position with the 3DS by pushing out recognizable, well-developed first party titles you can only get on the system. Sony would need to do the same if they want to try again, and I don't think they care enough to try anymore. They've had such large success with the PS4 that they don't really need to.

But Square-Enix.

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
