On the Vita, I think Sony has the marketing so wrong !!! I agree with Garnett to present it as a home console on the Go is the wrong ! This concept did not help the PSP and yet Sony stick by it.

There is no future for that system at all. The 3rd party devs are deserting the platform. And there is no consumer interest for such a device with Smartphone devices that are more and more compelling as proper gaming platforms.

      Yep just like I said you have a disconnect, your viewing the DS through the prism of its entire life cycle.
