PlayStation Vita

Sony handheld console

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

It featured dual analog sticks and a touchscreen but struggled commercially against smartphone gaming.

Sony discontinued it in 2019, though it retains a cult following for its library of Japanese games and indie titles.
