They complain about portability and price, yet the Ipad which is the size of a computer screen and costs at the least 500 dollars is perfectly acceptable. lol Whats with the inconsistency? Almost everything they complain complain about the vita is the exact same problem tablets have.

Well, it shouldn't be compared to any tablets, because they are in a completely different league.

Use your head, man. Smartphones, tablets and dedicated gaming handhelds are in direct competition, because they have the same primary purpose.

I have to respectfully disagree.  While there might be some competition between these items, each will appeal to its own market that wants something specific out of what they are purchasing.  If I wanted a device for primarily gaming, I would purchase a Vita.  If I wanted a device for primarily listening to music, I would purchase an mp3 player (and potentially a touch screen one if I had further needs).  If I wanted a device for primarily internet browsing on the go, I would purchase a tablet.  If I wanted a device for primarily calling/texting, I would purchase a phone (and potentially a smartphone, if I have further wants out of said device)

In my opinion of these devices, each serves a completely different primary purpose.  While they can all satisfy a majority of the same tasks, each has its own specialty that in my opinion far outrumps what the others can offer.
