I don't think that the Vita will even get PSP sales numbers.

When Vita arrives the hardware power is outdated from even mid price smartphones. The PSP had some high-end flair around them. Vita obviously don't have this advantage.

The 3DS has the biggest IPs (Pokemon, Mario, Layton, Zelda, Dr. Kawashimas and even Resident Evil & Co). Games for all kinds of gamers.

I think there is no place for an new handheld between smartphones and 3DS in the future.

I don't why you talk about smartphone psvita is a handheld console ans smartphone are phones you think a person will buy angry bird instead of  uncharted a person will buy both if he interestes by this2 games.

It's not because smartphones have higher sale number then handheld,handheld will be affect.

When PSP arrived many young men bought it because it has the "cool" and high-end flair. Vita will not have this advantage, because when Vita arrives smartphones will be more powerful and show better graphics. So this big part of potential vita buyers fall flat.

In the end Vita will have probably have lower sales than the PSP has.
