true, good points, but i also wonder if the "thing no one cared about" will still have the same effect 15 years from now as the primitive, nearly useless ones that people collect today (seemingly on the principle that they're failures on the advent of relatively early gaming era and not just because they were glossed over by folks)
I don't think they will ever be as collectible as the 8 and 16 bit generation of games, but I think the obscurity, handful of decent games, and small size of the library will help pull in the completionist type of collectors. There are just enough solid titles to pull someone in, and have them collect solely for it.
The time period you are speaking of, is basically the golden era of gaming. If baseball cards, and comics have taught any of us anything, it's that the golden era will always remain the most collectible. Golden being the 8 and 16 bit era. Highly doubtful any games after the 16 bit era will claim the throne and be as valuable as Stadium Events, Metal Slug, Euro Kizuna, etc..
I don't care if a game has a print run of 10. They will never eclipse these titles in terms of value and demand, simply because they are not from the golden era.
But I do believe due to rarity, and a halfway decent library, Vita will be one of the more expensive consoles to collect for post 16-bit era.
The library is very Turbo-Like. Lots of bad games, but a few gems in the rough.
I don't see Vita ending up like Jaguar, or 3DO, because those libraries were complete and total shit. The Vita does have some redeeming, noteworthy, titles.
And yes, I know. Tempest 2000. I'm not getting into a Jaguar discussion.
