Actually they shouldn't even try to serve two masters. They can't please everyone and based off the price and market strategy they haven't decided to. They know the whiny hardcore gamer will buy it regardless because it is the only game in town for that crowd, they can poop on people as much as they want and the hardcore gamers will call it fertilizer to grow games from. So for that reason alone the price of the memory cards etc is pretty good.So effectively they need to give lipservice to these people whilst directing the rest of their resources aside from a few token efforts towards marginal customers whom could go either to an iPod Touch or 3DS.

I personally don't think the majority of the hardcore market need a dedicated portable gaming system, therefore sony can't assume their safe. I haven't bought a Vita yet, the cards are a bloody rip off... but that doesn't mean that i drift the the ipod touch, i already own one and the experience is not comparable, therefore my ownership is not exclusive one or the other. The 3DS is the actual competition but i think theres a strong enough difference in tastes for both to coexist. The marginal customers you refer to would probably make up the majority of any system which manages to sell more then 30m.

Huh? I can't really understand what you're arguing for/against.
