I love my vita and switch but I spend more time playing on the vita than the switch and have both modded with 512gb cards full of games , for me the fact that the vita can play ps1, psp and vita games out of the box + tons of emulation and the portability of it takes the crown.
The fact that its super easy to get all vita psp and ps1 games for free is prob why i play my vita most, if i had access to the whole switch library for free right from the console like a hacked vita can it would be a gamechanger
So true i have a steamdeck too but i always choose vita on the go
Amazing that the Vita still holds up! 💪
Was hoping this would be more of a comparison of the actual OLED screen build, technology, image, etc instead of a complete system build comparison
That would definitely be fun to watch! We are more gamers than super techies lol, maybe Spawn Wave or someone will come out with a video like that.
Good job! Sony seems to be way advance in the technology department while Nintendo seems to be playing catch up. Sony could of used a cheaper memory format and marketed it more than they did. They gave up in it way to soon.
Agreed! SD cards would have saved the system!
Nintendo does that on purpose, if they wanted, they could pack the latest tech in their handhelds, but at what cost? they understand their market, they know that the vast majority doesn’t know or care about teraflops, ssd, ray tracing, what the mass market care about is that if it is cheap, convenient. It’s fun, looks pretty, has Pokémon, Mario and Zelda, and that’s it, and that’s why they’re selling gazillions of switches
@@natanhaelalvarado6137 very good points!
Kinda like apple and Samsung. Samsung gets gorilla glass apple gets it 4 years later.
The vita just looks and feels like a premium handheld. The switch like most of nientendo products looks like a toy.
Vita was just ahead of its time. To have both is an even better time on the go
Yes!!
That’s fair, but I still would pick the switch over the Vita as it has better games. Overall apart from maybe uncharted and a few others there’s not a lot to shout about when it comes to the Vita.
Great idea for a comparison video!
I have the borderlands edition psvita in a box although its not oled it still looks good and plays great. I think Sony could have done away with the proprietary memory and maybe came out with a cheaper compromise than a PlayStation tv to make games full screen. They made one for the psp and it looks good it might not go full screen but it is much bigger. I still love the sounds of a psvita starting up and their store is easy to navigate. Thanks for the comparison and videos and did I say I love your RPG content!!
I think that's what killed DaVita making the memory card super expensive the lack of support and lack of exclusives for only DaVita like they could have put more PSP games on there could have gave us like it's on GTA call of duty with zombies more dragon Ball Z games some more action adventure games maybe gave us cheaper accessories and like you said made it cheaper way to play the games on TV I think the Vita would have been great competition for the switch
Wow has it really been 10 years I remember the vita launch and getting my Japanese vita from a fellow youtuber I still have it
It's nuts right?
@@JRPGLife yeah it still feels like a couple years
My vita is my daily driver! Love my switch as well but I always choose the vita 1st!
I just got a vita and happy I got rid of my OLED!!!!! I have a PS3 and vita the vita is so great I play the original resident evils!!!!! Nightcry and tomb raider last revelation the switch didn't have these!!!!!!! And the joycon drift and all no thanks I love my vita as well great ports and very nice handheld system def better then the switch OLED!!!!
You don’t even own a Switch, Sony Pony.
@@williamk7517 it it’s not, the Vita was a poor handheld. The Switch OLED is better. Team Switch.
I think the Vita is just much better designed as a handheld than the Switch. Especially if you go with the Vita Slim, you're looking at probably the best designed handheld gaming system ever. The dpad difference alone is enough to get a Vita. I don't understand how people play sidescrollers with the Switch's "dpad" placement and button seperation.
Totally agree on the D pad!
Psp vita is so small and Nintendo oled graphics are kinda cool only if you docked it and compare it to psp vita and the vita has no kickstand and the batter lasts more than vita
That is the only downside of the switch, the joy cons, not having a proper directional pad.
I really made a Nintendo channel mad when I pointed out the PSVita in 2011 had OLED lol. Raged! I still can’t believe the Vita wasn’t more popular in Japan, today they only use phones or handhelds. I almost bought a PSVita from Japan last week, I still want to get one but games are very expensive and store will close soon(also Japanese Vita can’t download from US play store)
Yeah the same happened to me with a Nintendo fanboy !
yes it can, i got a japanese import vita and it can access buy and download from the US or EUR store., the only difference on a japanese model is the O acts as X and vice versa, which can be changed back once u hack the device.
Store is not closing anymore
@@Gakki_Aniki for now, i backed up the whole vita library on an external hdd just in case lol
Btw your vid makes me love my vita even more!!!!!! And not regret giving away my OLED I feel the more Sony sees everyone buying the vita I'm sure they've seen the games I've bought from my account they're shocked the vitas still active to today!!!!!! Love my vita!!!!! And love being able to play nightcry since it's hard to find I thank Sony for that at least!!!! Thank you don't for bringing nightcry to vita!!!!;I'm obsessed with the game since I first watched it years back now that I finally have it!!!!! I'm relieved!!!!!
The only pocket I can fit a switch in is from my house coat/dressing gown. I can barely put my hands in my normal pants pockets 😅 speaking off battery life, I found one my old ds lites that hasn't been used in over 7 years, it had a full battery
The Vita just looks so darn sexy lol and the built quality is top notch.
Agreed!

So basically you want Steam OS & Steam Deck.
👍
First off, great job with the vid from Content, information and some great laughs. You both make great points on the pros and cons of each system. In my opinion, the ps vita and psp didn't catch on like Nintendo's handhelds for a lot of different reasons. The one that is the most important is the backing and advertising of sony's handhelds. Sony throw there product out there and that was really it. When Nintendo does anything, for better or worse in some cases, you hear about it, see it and will need it as it's the new this and that ect. Not to the extent of the mess that was the Playstation mini but didn't do either of the systems justice. They had good games on it, the ability to download older games and play on the go with what looks to be a good interface. I think Sony will keep far away from the handheld market and stick with consoles. What could have been, the next gen war between the 2 companies in regards to there handheld systems. We could have got a lot more with the competition and pressure on both companies. Those who are comfortable will not provide the same level of excitement, power and great products. Challenged companies or folks shine through on everything. 👊
Thats not true, the Vita has a shorter battery life than the Switch. Vita has 3 to 5 hours, the switch OLED 4.5 to 9 hours.
On paper, for sure. We just shared our own personal experiences with them both. 😀
9 hours if you keep staring at the home screen lmao
I do like the vita user interface better. It wants you to swipe and scroll. There's no need or want to do so on switch. But the switch is amazing an tht increasing library
I love them both I feel like the switch is the vita 2.0, everything the vita lacked the switch fixed.
I feel like if the Vita had a higher screen resolution r2 and l2 buttons and clickable analogs and more console ports or its own Vita games like call of duty with zombies GTA more dragon Ball Z games and better graphics and affordable memory cards it would literally be the switches competition
Agreed!
@@JRPGLife it would be cool if PlayStation decides to make a another handheld but actually put the love into it
Switch for life!
The Vita screen was great but it suffered from the mura effect which ruined the experience
True, do you think the OLED Switch will have it happen as well eventually?
@@JRPGLife No because it’s not something that develops over time, it’s a defect with the screen itself which all Vita with OLEDs suffer from. OLED Technology has advanced a lot since then
PS vita 2011 OLED switch 2022 SoNy best
1 plus on the vita is that you can hack it to play every known emulator up to ps2 and psp.
You can use a psvita to sd card.
when you look at games that came out on both side by side, the vita shows a crisper image because the PPI on the Vita is higher. I love both but sometimes it's hard to believe that the Vita came out so many years before the Switch. The UI on the Vita I would say is better, and the form factor is extremely comfortable, but the idiotic decision to make the storage proprietary and never ever just release a micro sd adapter, or hell, even come out saying they would officially support the sd2vita carts that had been produced so they could get more money from digital sales, they could have implemented support for them in an update and even released their own versions with better read/write speeds but they just abandoned it.
The switch isn't without its confusing and backwards choices either don't get me wrong. Why cap screen recording at the previous 30 seconds? Why not have a "start recording" and "end recording" feature either? Lack of live streaming support, no virtual console titles, no xenoblade chronicles x (okay that's maybe just a me thing lol), no themes, no voice chat or messaging, browser, netflix, and yet... I still have so much fun with it too.
I don't have a winner between them. I've played less games on the switch but poured ridiculous hours into them, more games on the vita but less play time in them. I take my vita out and about because it actually fits in my pocket but I play my switch handheld in the house, battery wise though the vita hands down destroys the switch for what I play.
It might sound stupid, but the fact the switch lacks any way for me to talk to my friends when gaming makes me feel really... lonely. Even if when I'm playing on vita I don't exactly talk to friends all the time, the fact I have the option to is weirdly comforting. On switch I'm completely isolated.
Very profound points, I 100% agree! Thank you for sharing!
@@JRPGLife I think it's best to be critical rather than just blindly praise something when there are definite improvements that can be made, as much as it pains me to talk negatively about things that genuinely do bring me so much joy, especially because I'm not a particularly negative person, I really don't look for the bad in things. Weirdly I don't feel like when I'm thinking of the things that can be changed that I'm being negative, I feel like I'm imagining the potential and hoping I am somehow vindicated, that what I seen as a good idea was something they ended up seeing as well haha.
It's sad that I don't think sony realise how close they were to making it perfect, and a lot of the failure is completely on them for their lack of marketing, if you're not going to try then of course no one will know. I have a friend who when I mentioned the vita to him he didn't even know it existed, he's a life long playstation fan.
I know Sony said they were out of the handheld game but... I dunno, I kind of hope they backpedal on that decision after seeing the success of the switch and the steamdeck (although, can't really call the steamdeck a console per se, it still ultimately disproves the claim sony made that people don't want handhelds because phones) because they could actually keep the same size or only be slightly bigger. The glass panel on the vita including the bezels, if that was all screen it would be around 6 inches, which, if they upped the resolution, oled panel, L3/R3, L2/R2, Micro SD support, Downscaled cross-buy ps5 games (wishful thinking but imagine the buzz that would get).
Those things alone, aside from the cross-buy dream, would make an actual pocket fitting dream console and none of those things are asking them to go above and beyond since they're just industry standard expectations for controls, the 6 inch screen I think would be plenty for most, but if they made a bigger version as well for those that don't need it then what would go wrong with that assuming they NEVER think about proprietary storage in any way, shape or form.
About nintendo, they really need to socially advance and realise people don't have friends they can see every day but still want to communicate with them, well.. not just that, but it would be a start lol
I actually grabbed a measuring tape to see what the screen size could be minus the bezels on the vita haha. It's not exactly 6" but it's more or less there
Sony is always ahead of the curve.
And nintendo is always way lower than the curve, thats why i love sony!
Fair comparison. But Switch isn't revolutionary for the dock Pocket PCs and cables Nomad/PSP did it first it's the Joycons. Even Neo Geo X or PSP Go. Though a handheld (forget it's name Taki Udon covered it) has magnet Joycons like controllers so it's not anymore. The VIta has its differences. I like both but the Vita more. The Switch Joycons separating and split screen is great. The IR is in the worst spot the Wii did it right.
I couldn't even care less about Bluetooth even if nice. Just the content manager for music/video and such, cameras I'd I want to for AR/using an old camera. It has still more features then Switch even if not compleycomparable. Hardware power is something but the UI even has more personality the Switch is a fast but bland UI. News and other games club whatever info is fine besides necessary but I mean the Vita/3DS/Wii had more things you could do on them on the Home menu. I still use Welcome Park even if a tutorial app it has trophies or I want to know how the features work. It's Playroom on PS4 but for the Vita and even Playroom has Vita support DLC and a Tablet/Phone support feature as DLC too. Then again who used Playlink either those smartphone party games yeah before Everybody 1-2 Switch (I know this video was a year ago, I see the responses too). But yeah. Both companies do their thing and it's great but I mean look deeper please. It's easy to look at Gizmondo and go oh it had barely any games but I mean it had a camera/GPS built in the PSP had them as add-ons. It was a pocket PC game console, Ngage a gaming phone before Xperia Play, Tapwave Zodiac for PDAs, Tiger Game on a Workboy Gameboy add-on but a game console in its one interesting way. Very exciting handhelds in their own hybrid way.
Switch 2 I want to be a Switch/Wii U sync the handheld and console, dock, dual screen support, fix the IR. I doubt a dual screen phone or AR/VR and I also doubt if it has a focus on multiple games/apps focus something Windows 8 and what I wanted the TV TV TV era of Xbox to keep with it's OS but nope there goes those features. So dual screen phones it is instead. I like gimmicks that are useful I'm sick to death of bland consoles with power and standard games with boring mechanics. So if the games are bland controllers change. If good game design I don't mind as much and the controllers still help make it fun. Familiarity is boring and I want to see more happen. If I want a straightforward device I'd get a PC or a regular phone. I don't own a dual screen phone due to price but I do appreciate them as the continuation of dual screen anything. Besides well DS/3DS/Wii U emulation for them to go somewhere naturally then dual windows in a very Sim.Tower way of multiple windows and I don't like that. I prefer a better format of them.
I like the back touchpad why it works well, if I want a toggle sprint I can, no hold, it works for regular games and gimmicky games and anyone that wants buttons wants familiarity I don't want that personally I find it boring.
Revolutionary ha says the PSP/Nomad says Pocket PCs (came before the Steam Deck and has a dock and can work to a monitor hmm sounds like the Switch doesn't it because a dock is nothing new gaming or tech unless you turn a blind eye to history, are a Nintendo fan turning a blind eye to anything not Nintendo or don't care because only care for things that happened nowadays but can't deny the past and a dock /output with a cable is nothing new)
So many came with a dock or cable before the Switch. I hate when people don't do their gaming/tech research. Technically the Super Gameboy even did handheld on the TV even if through a SNES so is it new and revolutionary these ways for the Switch not even.
The Wii U technically yes because it's not using wifi like the PSP/Vita/Xbox/Steam Link does. It's completely possible offline and with a power bank too making it better than the others needing wifi/data (Vita 3G even if discontinued support).
But the Dreamcast VMU or GBA/GameCube did it prior as well, as the DS but the separation allowed for more potential that dual screen phones or even a phone to the TV via third party apps for non TV apps with a cast feature you can use phone only apps on your TV/any screen via wifi aka remote play reversed of small screen to big screen then the opposite of big TV console to handheld that remote play usually isn't able to.
The Switch is revolutionary for the different ways you can play it, you can’t play table top mode with a niche pokey PC. The PS Vita was crap and Sony knew it the Switch is a much better system.
I had psp
Vita winner
Yes it is I love my vita I just got
@@williamk7517 only PlayStation fanboys would pick the Vita over the superior switch.
Sony*
honestly the vita is somehow more powerful than the switch!!!!!
It actually isn’t, the Switch is more powerful.
If vita still supported i will still buy this over a switch.. only thing on nintendo is zelda...
The only thing is Zelda? That's a complete lie , I have over 100 games on switch and none of them except for 1 are Nintendo exclusive games..
@Street fighter vs Xenoverse let me guess, all indie titles? If so then its kind of dumb to carry around that tablet just to play undertale or something.
*angry Monster Hunter noises in the switch background* even though MH is from Capcom... I'd consider counting that as something worth playing on the switch.
That’s a lot of BS, there’s Mario, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros Ultimate and more, Nintendo games outsells PlayStation games 3-1 😂😂
Switch for like, the PS Vita is overrated and looks like a PSP.
sony store....
