John Broomhall asks PlayStation audio guru Jason Page the facts about PS Vita's audio capabilities.
While the PS Vita will go down as a commercial failure, its prospects weren’t that bad when it was announced. Yes, smartphone gaming was getting bigger at the time, but Sony matched the price of the Nintendo 3DS with a much more powerful machine, and the PSP had been hugely successful, selling over 80 million units.
But everything changed when Monster Hunter 4 was announced as a Nintendo 3DS exclusive.
I never liked the analog sticks of the vita. Plus, people wanted more bang for their buck, cross play titles with ps4, not spinoffs
I thought I'd like the analogue sticks more than I did. They were better than the PSP stick but not by much. The Switch has a decent pair of sticks but still could be better.
Well, Vita had a lot of exclusives after launch, but nobody bought them, and gaming media had it in for them too.
Unit 13 - I enjoyed it. Not amazing, but still decent.
Gravity Rush / Daze - This one got some credit.
Uncharted Vita - Again, a decent game. Was it as good as the console games? No, but that's hardly apples to apples is it?
Soul Sacrifice - Only played a bit, but quite well regarded.
Oboro Muramasa - Great
There's a few exclusives.

Very interesting article about sound development for the Vita. Im pretty happy that a bought extremely good sennheiser earphones to use with the Vita since Sonys device has excellent sound quality.
