Message: [QUOTE="MilkMan, post: 69326, member: 64224"] USB C didn't exist until 2014, the Vita came out in 2012. Micro USB was what was common back then, the Vita 2000 actually does use Micro USB. Why they designed a proprietary charging port instead of using Micro USB on the original model is beyond me though. They made a lot of bizarre choices with the Vita, the proprietary memory cards and back touchpad are two more questionable design decisions. A lot of people blame the memory cards for being the cause of the Vita's failure but I don't actually think that's the case, though it certainly didn't help. I think Sony had a serious problem with resource allocation and it's a problem they are continuing to struggle with today. The ballooning development cost, increase in dev time and increase in dev team size on PS4 meant Sony just did not have resources for a dedicated handheld that needed its own games tailor made for it. Great that you're working on repairing these consoles. Keeping old consoles alive is so important and there's still so much fun to be had on the Vita. Handheld consoles specifically offer an experience that is impossible to completely replicate using traditional means of emulation. [/QUOTE]
