The PS Vita has one novelty that other handheld consoles cannot claim to carry – touch controls located at the back of it, although you can say that Nintendo did innovate far more on the portable console landscape than Sony did with the introduction of dual displays, and a touchscreen at that!

According to Ian Spinelli, marketing coordinator at Canopy, “The sensors can handle up to ten independent responses.” When you add these inputs with the screen’s six, you have a far better idea on how much more complex games can get on the smartphone.
