PS Vita

Portable PlayStation successor

PS Vita is a handheld gaming console made by Sony, released in 2011 as the successor to the PlayStation Portable.

It featured dual analog sticks, a touchscreen, and rear touch panel.

Despite capable hardware, it struggled against mobile gaming and was discontinued in 2019: I still play my Vita for indie games.
