"Sony has with the Vita showed courage and stood against the trend of the times: The device is a solid processed games machine that has everything you need players - for example, a reasonable way to control even the most demanding games, which for pure touch devices only . seldom well succeed, it is a device that can hopefully fill the still unfulfilled promise soon to life's great that the CV has offered to start a large variety of games -. also exists when the major part of popular brands and Play delivers. only one thing: one reason why it should necessarily have a unique selling point, a brilliant idea - as they did with the Nintendo 3D screen.

Vita is the work of engineers who have thought of everything, just not how you want to fill the unit with life. And that's what she could do the last of its kind. For the last pure games console before smart phones and tablet computers finally take over the mobile gaming market. "

 

Not the best translation but I think it is basically saying its a great piece of kit and a fine last hurrah before mobiles (phone and tablets) finally kill off handhelds.

Do you really think mobiles will kill off handhelds though? Lets be honest here, I am a massive gamer and I have one of the most powerfull smartphones on the planet right now. I have never downloaded a game for it and I never will. I have tried tonnes of demos on the phone like fruit ninja and even dead space but I deleted them instantly. You will NEVER get games with the production values of Uncharted: Golden abyss on a phone with touch controls only, it just isnt possible. I commute to work every day and it is a joy to play Uncharted on my journey every morning and evening.

The funny thing is I use my smart phone for everything else except games and thats where my VITA comes in.
