Vita was fine. Sony just didn’t support it and stuffed it up with propriety memory cards which caused low sales and a lot of big games for it to be cancelled. It also launched at a time where mobile games were becoming more mainstream and less people wanted dedicated handhelds. Although post-Switch, the handheld market has seen a bit of a boom especially with Steam Deck etc.
PSP had proprietary memory cards too. They were literally just trying to make a PSP2 with the vita.
The memory card issue did suck but as someone who only had a 16GB card it was blown way out of proportion. I never needed to have every game ever installed on my device at once. Would’ve been nice, but it never got in the way not being able to do so.
Nowadays you can get an SD to Gamecard adapter and with some homebrew installed use that for storage which is pretty cool. You can also replace the 3G card with an adapter too, but less people do that since it requires opening up the vita.
