SpecPicks scored Sony PlayStation Vita 1000 PSVita System Console w/ Charger Cable using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Sony's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
