Imo it's almost impossible to attract the 360 and PS3 crowd to a handheld. Even the Vita which is a "hardcore" handheld can't do it. It's pretty simple, those people prefer to play on the big screen, it doesn't matter if a handheld game have a console type experience like Uncharted or a quick play like Mario 3D Land. 

I'm not so sure about that. I do hope that Sony will do a PS3-type-turnaround with Vita next year by announcing a list of big games and the inevitable price cut. The Vita has huge potential and core gamers (especially PS3 crowd) would surely buy it, but it needs more AAA games. Or to be painfully genuine, it needs any AAA games... So far it has only Uncharted, AC-Liberation and LBP, and maybe Gravity Rush. Not enough to justify the purchase of such an expensive console at least in my eyes, but we'll see in a year. Software sells hardware and there simply is no software on the Vita. And the memory cards cost an arm and a leg... I still believe that this console may succeed, but Sony needs to work hard to do it. I hope they do, cause I want to buy it next year.
