(One more thing: The PSPGo looked different to the PSP, perhaps moreso than the Vita, and had a radically different name, and did stuff differently. So it could be easy to conclude the same thing for the Vita for those not serious about gaming).

Except for the part PSP-Go was a terrible last minute decision and you could of gotten a cheaper PSP 1000,2000 or 3000 series which also allowed UMD games unlike the Go where you were forced to download from the PSN.

This is true. However, didn't Sony have high hopes for the Go, which then fell flat? I think so...and Vita is more expensive than the PSP, by quite a margin. It's easy enough for the casual consumer to make that mistake. The key to the success of the Vita will be to attract these casual consumer away from either Nintendo, Apple or any other electronics company. For this to occur, you need to push and push and push, moreso now than ever before. This is where, I feel, Sony will become unstuck.
