The Playstation Vita should just be a smartphone. Sony should pull out of handheld gaming.

I don't agree for the some of the same reasons already mentioned.

Unless Sony makes a phone that is over 50% battery in volume and weight, people can't play graphics intensive games on it for hours on the go and still expect to be able to have power for phone calls network access and all the other things people use their smartphones for.

Two, and is a major one: I'm not tying myself to a two year contract for a Sony phone so I can play the latest PSV games. I'm not paying a second cellular/data plan bill for that, and I'm not switching phones and services just to play games, even if they are better than the ones typically found on iOS.

If I just want to play the games and use the PSN gaming services, I want one that's unfettered to a 2 year subscription service. No contracts.
