And this will have no impact on the 3DS and Vita.

The exact same question I was asking. It's a pretty big deal how much this thing will cost.

I'd be excited if it wasn't just an Android device like the one I already have. I'm sure it will kick ass, but even with a controller none of my Android games can compare to my 3DS games.

The problem will all the new Android gaming consoles/handhelds is that they are limited by the lowest common denominator. Mobile gaming developers have to make their games work on a Galaxy S, Galaxy SIII, and everything in-between.

That's why Android and iOS games will never be able to compete with closed single run dedicated consoles.

I'll play Angry Birds on the go when I don't want to hall around more than one device and I'll enjoy Zelda OoT 3D when I want a real game.

This reminds me, and this is an important thing to have for handheld games, can you put it into sleep mode easily? Can you simply lower the screen and clamp it down to put it into sleep mode? If not, that would be a terrible oversight.

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

Of course it will bomb.

If it were relevant, it wouldn't be announced at CES.
