I like Sony's optimism, and I like the Vita itself. It's a damn good piece of hardware, and I very much intend to buy one at some point.

However, I can't see the device doing all that well. Ultimately, they're entering a market that's being squeezed fairly tight by other mobile devices, and they're coming in a year later and far more expensive than their primary competitor. They've also lost their one killer app, while their chief competitor has already released two of their own.

Call of Duty has the potential to do well in the West, but I don't believe the Call of Duty market is the type that'd really go for a dedicated handheld gaming device. Plus, we've have no information on the game other than its initial announcement.
