People will say "but 3DS has Mario and Pokemon"...... well so did N64 and GameCube.

If Sony starts firing on all cylinders they will be a HUGE threat.

CoD with cross-play muiltiplayer with PS3. That alone would be a Megaton that is very, very possible and could happen as soon as LAUNCH for PS Vita.

Uncharted Golden Abyss is a killer app. Little Big Planet Vita will be there at launch.

Kojima has already confirmed future "transfarring" between Vita and PS3 for all his future games.

Pokémon on consoles are different than those on handhelds. Its not about the name of the game it is how you play the game that matters here. Neither of the mentioned consoles had a 2d style Mario game or a true handheld experience Pokémon game and both of these games sell significantly more than a 3d Mario or a Pokémon stadium game.

So yeah Nintendo has Mario and Pokémon. But who knows what will happen now. It is all about the games in the end no matter how powerful a console is. I mean what is the point of having either PSV or a 3DS if the games you want are on the other console in the end :P
