@Mickeymac: I guess it's good if you never plan to get a Vita. For people that own one though, it kind of sucks. If Gravity Rush and Uncharted: GA get ported, this isn't going to be too good. I wouldn't find to much issue with it if the Vita had a larger library of games, but this is happening before the system has been out for a year. It's like Sony is just giving up on the Vita in the Land of the Rising Sun. I get that it sucks when your system is outsold by its predecessor, and even more-so when its direct competitor outsells it 9-1, but they've got to be willing to bite the bullet and build up a solid library of games for the system, without putting them on the PS3.

I keep seeing people putting "kid oriented" and Nintendo in the same sentence. If anybody noticed Nintendo isn't popular for being "kid oriented". If they were, Vtech and Leapfrog would of been more or just as popular. Though correctly: Nintendo is more family oriented. A lot of adults buy Nintendo consoles for themselves because the 20 to 40 range played NES, GB, etc through their teen-aged years and childhood and are still pretty loyal. Since 3DS got VC it has attracted more of those fans.
Exactly, absolutely kid oriented since the very beginning, as well as for these nostalgic ones, as you say, that played Nintendo when they were also kids. Every single kid I know of has a DS or a 3DS (btw I dont know of any adult having one for himself). Sony needs to take good care about kids as well, because they are a huge army of players.

I do know people that have DS's, lots. A few are moms and a lot of guys, LOL. Also They made the DSi XL for older people with eyesight that may not be great.
My point is not everyone was 3, 5, 10, 12, 13 years old in 1985. Some or most of the gamers then have their origins in arcades and playing Atari. NES was new and appealing to most of those people. Heck, my grandpa even played it and he had a collection of LoZ games, NES to I think Gamecube.
Well Sony should've changed their approach to sony handhelds and the memory carts, for a start. Unless they decide to invent a micro-sd card adapters for the Vita and PSP.

It happened that the vast majority of 1980 gamers had their origins with computers: MSX (<< Sony), MSX2 (<< Sony), Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad and later CBM Amiga, Atari ST to finish with PC. But for these afraid of computers (or their prices) the very only options were the NES and the Sega Master System, is not that they had more to choice from. It is also interesting to remember that the king of the video games by that time in Japan and in some parts of Europe was not Nintendo, but Konami. And Sony's first entry in the video game industry was not with the PlayStation, but with the Sony Hit-Bits in the early 80's: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:MS … HB-75P.jpg There is a lot of fantasy around the NES being the first home gaming system for the entire human kind.
True about the fantasy, also the small amount of Nintendo haters in the Sony fandom, some may not realize the origin of Playstation which is a sad but awesome origin.
Nintendo is certainly the most popular that still is producing consoles these days. Its also one of the few older gaming companies still around and over a hundred years for a fact. They produced toys and once I saw a sort of carnival game they produced.
