PSP was massive success. Even Vita was alright.
Why did Sony completely abandon handled market? Sure they can't compete with Nintendo but surely there must be big enough market for thosr who want to play games other than Pokemon, Mario and Zelda that are not pixelated 30 FPS, 720p garbage?
Why did Sony stop making handheld consoles?

Long story short, SIE America believes handheld gaming is dead.

Basically this. Sony didn’t exactly help the situation with their boneheaded decisions, like the memory cards and dropping mainline support after a year. Smartphones, however, became a big deal around that time and it spooked Sony (and Nintendo to a lesser extent). Kids in particular never used to have smartphones, and it wasn’t even a guarantee that they would have flip phones either. Past 2012, every mother got their kid a smartphone, and naturally you only have room in the pocket for one device. Sony capitulated as a result, and Nintendo went with a gaming tablet instead in order to avoid directly competing for that pocket space. The death of the Vita and eventually the 3DS, was the end of the original pocket console.

They made the vita for weeb pedos instead of normie chads

But that was 10 years ago. Surely after the success of Switch they would have at least considered to reboot PSP.

Remember, the Vita still had games being made for it, long after the 3DS became dead.

I've never seen a single switch outside. If they were going against cellphones then they did a terrible job

Yeah, that's why they're playing on Nintendo systems.

Unironically Apple ruined everything.
