I own oled ps vita cracked with 256GB SD card in pretty good condition which is full of NES, Gameboy, PS1, PSP and PS Vita games. But now I would like to buy the steam deck 1T OLED version and I need to ask if I should sell the vita or keep it if in the future will the ps vita have higher value. I wont have time to play on vita and deck so I will play only on deck and maybe keep the vita as investment. What do you guys think?

    Dont sell your vita. is stilla great device, great to emulate those systems on a smaller and lighter device than steam deck. i think they can live together very well

    Dont sell your Vita. You wont get a ton for it and good condition models are getting harder to find. If you give a damn about collecting you will regret selling your Vita in the future.

    Imo embarrassed skin, don’t sell the vita. Unless it’s just impossible for you to get the OLED steam deck without selling something, I just can’t see selling a no longer manufactured piece of good gaming hardware to get a new system.

    The vita is going to get more and more rare but I don’t think it’s going to have a price boom until it hits collectors status.

    Afaik vita is considered to be one of the best hand held emulation devices. That may have changed.

    They aren’t just gonna suddenly stop making the steam deck. You’ll be able to get one just about any time you want it and have the cash for it.

    Guy I talked to once said never sell your systems and it’s a bad idea. I tend to agree.

    Me personally, when I have, have always regretted it later at some point. I sold my NES and a sizeable library when I was young to get a SNES. Then later sold it and a Genesis to get a PS1. Sold my PS1 to get a PS2. Gave away my original Gameboy. Honestly wish I had kept the NES, the SNES, and the Genesis. I still hung on to my Atari 2600. It’s just in a box taking up closet space, but still glad I have it.

    If I hadn’t sold my systems and cut more grass or something growing up, I would have 30+ years of preserved gaming history.

    But all this is just an opinion of a guy you don’t know. If you are bent on selling the thing, I’m sure someone would be glad to buy it, and the steam deck most definitely has more processing power. I know it runs PS3 and below easily. Some folks even emulate switch. Still can’t do xbox360, but that emulator is a mess right now, not the hardwares fault.
