Neither did Nintendo, I'm sure SONY will be ok with a small loss.

What do you mean by "handhelds"?

Nintendo did actually. The 3DS had a ton of markup. Its losing as much money now as Vita probably is. (my guestimate)

By handhelds I meant smartphones/tablets, sorry.

Hmm, I guess that's true.

I thought you meant smartphones/tablets, and I'm glad, because now I get to make a point . Smartphones and tablets can only offer so many things when it comes to gaming, PS360 games aren't one of them. Without buttons, 3D games are extremely hard and impractical to play, especially for a casual gamer. Smartphones and tablets will always be capped at a certain "level" of gaming, and for some people, that just isn't enough. Those "some people" are the ones that will keep the PS Vita and the 3DS alive, and possibly even make them successful.

I hope this is just guesswork on your behalf, you're starting to worry me.
