Video game handhelds didn't die after all

When the beloved PlayStation Vita eventually died out, many blamed the rise of mobile gaming. "I think the PS Vita, while ahead of its time in many ways ... launched at exactly the wrong time in terms of market opportunity," former Sony vice president of marketing John Koller told The Verge about going up against smartphones. But despite the Vita's demise, dedicated gaming handhelds didn't die out — in fact, the space is arguably as vibrant as ever.
