The PlayStation Vita was released in Japan in late 2011, and in the rest of the world in 2012, and was Sony’s attempt to take the power of a gaming console and make it portable. Over the years, the Vita changed, bringing out new versions that tried to keep up with what gamers wanted from a handheld device, as mobile phones became more advanced. The Vita’s changes weren’t just about looks; they gave gamers more options, like better screens or a lighter design. Alongside the hardware, the Vita also had a large catalogue of games by the end of its life, offering players lots of choices.
