Do people actually use Vitas? I bought one back when it launched and I haven't touched it since shortly after P4 Golden came out and I played it for a bit.

The Vita was always intended to use digital distribution to its fullest, hence the early 3G models. The library of Cart games isn't very good and all of the quality cartridge based games are available through download at a cheaper price anyway. P4G was
the game for the Vita and you'd be surprised how many people I've heard say exactly what you did, but the library has expanded into some pretty great territory.
It took me a really long time to get into the Vita. I actually had a first gen system within a year of its release and sold it really shortly after. It's a great little system, it just needed to fill out its library to realize its potential. A decent cartidge vita game (for example, Terraria) will run you 25$ retail in Canada. On the PS Store this same product is only 15$. There are savings galore.
If you like Persona look into Dangan Ronpa. It's not quite the same but it has some of the same flavor. Also just about anything published by Devolver is going to be a lot of fun (Hotline Miami, LUFTRAUSERS and Titan Souls spring to mind) but there's a ton of quality indie releases on the Vita store.
The Vita is also just a 90's era disc drive away from being a portable PS1 which is pretty boss if you have any old favorites from that system you'd like to revisit. At least a third of the games I have are PS1 classics. Still waiting for Tiny Tank though, that was always my fave generic PS1 game.
So yeah man, dust off that Vita and see what's new. If there was something on the system for you a few years ago there's surely something you'll like even better now.
