I understand your reasoning, but you've ignored several points:

 

• Ipad is not optimized for gaming
• The OS and other shit running in the background on the Ipad uses more resources, leaving less for games
• Hardly any mobile devs have the budget and/or take the time to take full advantage of the tech they are working on. (How many games look like Infinity Blade 2? You could probably count them on one hand)
• PSVITA has a significantly better CPU
• Games on the Ipad are being rendered at a MUCH higher resolution
• PSVITA has a physical controls which works very well, this is arguably the biggest point here

 

All those points were valid if my OP was tyring to talk someone into buying one or the other, however it is not.

So what is the OP for then? Just a comparison?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your OP was implying that the new Ipad will be on par with VITA in terms of specs and this would mean Ipad games would be on-par if not better graphically than VITA games, the post I made is just telling you that whilst on paper, the new Ipad may seem to be close to on-par (the CPU really isn't btw) with VITA, but when it comes to gaming, it's far behind. And although tablets have the advantage of yearly upgrades, devs on VITA will also be sqeezing more and more out of it as the years go on, and as we're on a gaming site, I'm sure we both know how big the improvements can be over a few years on the same system graphically. It'll take quite a few years for the average game on tablets to look as good as even the launch games on VITA.
