If Sony were going to change the direction their gaming division is headed in wouldn't they have started with the Vita which is, let's face it, just the PS3 again?

No.  Vita is launching at the same price as the PSP did. Considering its a much more powerful device, this isn't like the PS3 at all.

Vita uses powerful, but relatively cheaper components. Mobile tech advances extremely fast so tech is always improving and costs will go down fast. Vita will be profitable in a year or two if it isn't already.

The memory card prices put the Vita at a much higher price point than the PSP at launch. Additionally, the Vita seems focused on core gaming, another pitfall of the PS3. Whether or not indie developers embrace the system remains to be seem though. I certainly hope that Sony gets its act together.

 

Edit: The PSP launched in Japan at a price of about $180, even without taking the discrepancy in memory card pricing that's a big jump in price.
