@magi and @savino No we don't need Vita. It's not even portable with its bulk screen and prone to fall off your hands. I had the psp and even that wasn't portable as the ds or 3ds are. My replacement for the Vita is not the 3ds, no, it's the PS3. I can carry it around the house max. Whereas I can with the 3ds. Portable gaming are not about graphics, it's about gaming on the go where you can have fun with a game like, yes, Mario and Zelda... It's not like I'm on a bus and I'll say: yeah let me finish this half hour long Uncharted mission. Look at the sales stats and then tell me "it's the best portable console". In Japan, its native country, apparently, it's the worst. Maybe it's a matter of taste as well. I've got my Ps3 and Nintendo portables and that's the way, in my opinion, it should be.
The biggest mistake Sony has done with the Vita is that the Psp games are not backward compatible with the Vita. What was Sony thinking? Wow you get a discount if you have the game. So what? Why do I have to pay for a game that I already paid for in the first place. And then you have to buy a memory card (not included in the package) especially made for the Vita!? And you have to buy one since there are no internal memory! My 3DS has internal memory and besides, I don't need it's internal memory because since decades, Nintendo can use his brains and used the actual game card as saves for the game. This is used since the Gameboy Advance. Why didn't Vita use this strategy? Well they stole all of the 3DS's other ideas (AR games, touch screen, cartridge games, front and rear cams, gyro), they could have used this one as well. Well, in the end, I used to be a Playstation fan and still have my PS3 but I see the Vita useless. It's not even portable with the large screen and prone to scratches and fall off your hands. You want large screen with good graphics, have a 50" tv with PS3 stuck on it. You want to take it to the other room? Well have another 50" tv with another PS3; it will most probably cost you as much as a vita and it's accessories.
