Why spend £40 on a PS Vita game when you can get the exact same game on the PS3 for the exact same price???

(BTW my opinion is that handhelds are an abomination in the gaming world. I see them as a waste of money as you pay around the same price for a PSP/ PS Vita as you do for the PS3 and you get a smaller screen, controls, games etc you also find that the games aren't as fun to play as they are on the PS3)

Finally, a kindred spirit. I feel exactly the same way you do in this regard. Mobile gaming is downsized gaming; you get less of everything. Less screen size, less sound, less graphical power and less battery, all for pretty much the same price. And then there's neck injury from having to keep your head tilted at weird angles in order to mantain a line of sight with whatever it is you're holding in your hands. Some people stare at their controllers to see what button they're supposed to be pushing, yet some stare at them because they have no other choice; the control buttons are stuck to the screen. Expesive minimalism (another name for elitist poverty) taken to the extreme. In a world, where humanity were forced to live in phone booths, this mobile gaming obcenity would actually be a necessary evil. Fortunately, most of us have rooms, TV's and chairs of sofas. [sigh] I just don't understand mobile gaming.

This is spot on.

At least for people who never leave their house.

when i go out i socialise instead of game?
