Japan new numbers show the OLD psp selling 4K more units than the VITA, whats up with that? how much difference in price is the Vita to the psp? best buy has the psp for $169 and VIta will cost $90 more. i think people are getting confused here, Sony should have name the vita psp 3 or psp 4 , maybe people are thinking they picking up the new psp? lol

Easy, it could be hacked with custom firmware. My original fat PSP is still one of the best handheld devices I own.

ok set aside the haxin, i bet most people that got those 15k psp r not gonna hax it, but why get a old system when u can get the new one for $90 more. something is not rigth here, i think people r getting confuse with the vita, i mean the old psp looks exactly as the vita. The 3ds has a 3Din front of the name, but PSP only has the VITA added.

I think the financial climate has changed. Less consumers are willing to pay more than $200 for a handheld imo. Couple that with Sony's ridiculous proprietary memory card thing and the system is at or above what many want to pay for home consoles. It just isnt good business sense, imo. Sony has excelled at that this gen.

no doubt when more games come out but still bro, why buy a old psp when u can buy the new one? Makes nonsense. I think sonny needs to change that VITA at teh end, and cal it PSP 3 , learn from appe and samsung, GALAXY 2, IPHONE 2 , 3 ,4 ETC . makes more sense, Paystation, paystation 2, playstation 3, should have done the same with the PSP

One has MonHun games, the other does not.

PSP also cost less.

It's no biggie, PS1 sold more than PS2 during 2000, and 3DS sold less than the DS for some time when it first came out too.

PSP has better games. VITA has no backwards compatibility.

PSP has one of the best JRPG libraries out of any system, ever, of all time.

Japanese people eat that stuff alive, regurgitate it and eat it again.

If you have a life, then why do you go by the name of a piece of plastic?

Maybe the PSP is a better console than the PS Vita? Just a thought
