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. |
1) Vita's battery is 2200mAh and there are phones that already have that same battery or larger.
2) If it was a high-end smartphone, like most people already buy anyways, AND offered the same experience as the Vita currently offers for games, you would buy it as your phone. Additionally, if it was priced similar to phones/tablets now, you could probably also have a wifi only model for the same $300 you're paying for PSV now. Only difference is you actually have a cheap alternative with the contracted model, especially when considering that most phones are really cheap or free a few months after launch on contract.
