It depends on what you value. Here's a side-by-side comparison:
| Feature | PSP | PS Vita |
|---|---|---|
| Price (Used) | Lower | Higher |
| Game Library | Larger (1,000+ titles) | Smaller but higher-quality |
| Backward Compatibility | PS1 classics (some models) | PSP/PS1 via digital only |
| Graphics & Performance | Lower resolution, slower | OLED screen, much faster |
| Controls | Buttons only | Touchscreen + rear touchpad |
| Remote Play | No | Stream PS4 games |
| Durability | More robust | More fragile |
Both are discontinued, so prices and availability vary on the secondhand market.
