Just yesterday, I was looking at a PlayStation Vita that my girlfriend’s brother scored off eBay. Released in 2011, it was Sony’s last handheld console.
Wow, looks like a smaller Nintendo Switch, I thought. He told me there’s homebrew to connect it to a larger screen.
Timing is everything.

- tediousdemise 5y agoYeah, it’s sad they didn’t make it an official feature. Apple adds common jailbreak tweaks to official iOS releases all the time. You would think Sony could at least iterate on their product with features the gaming community wants instead of shuttering the product line permanently.

- kbelder 5y agoI disagree. The DS only stopped selling because the Switch replaced it. IPhone and Android only service part of the gaming market, and they aren't making any inroads into the remaining balance. Or to put it another way, they've done a good job expanding the gaming market, but haven't stolen gamers away from PC and console.
