Unlike other console failures, it’s generally accepted that Sony’s second handheld was the “right device released at the wrong time”. That is to say, its commercial shortcomings largely revolved around the transition to smartphone gaming and the limitations of its software library, rather than any inherent issues with the system itself.

Extinct is overstating it for a console that fairly recently hit End of Life stage, to be honest. Anyway, plenty of retro gamers out there still enjoy firing up old Genesis/SNES/AMiGA/NES/Master System/ZX Spectrum/C64 games either emulated or on original hardware. I'm actually in the process of setting up a Raspberry Pi 400 to be a combination of basic Linux box, Kodi media centre and RetroPie emulation station because they're cheap, powerful and great fun. It can offer a bit of a "history of gaming" angle alongside my Wii U, Switch, PS2, PS3, PS4 Pro etc.Sony Will Not Cut Price of PS Vita Outside of Japan. IGN (February 21, 2013).
