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

@superchunk: Give it up mate, no one wants your super awkward thick arse Vita phone that comes with a car charger and solar panels just so you can still make phone calls by 7pm at night.

Like I said, when battery tech is at least 5 times better than it is today I'll buy your Vita Phone.

Good new for you then:

3 Times the energy density meaning 9 hours for your vita.

And superchunk is right. At the moment there is no reason for someone in the expanded market to buy a vita. Sony needs to sneak their games into the average consumers' hands if they want vita to be successful.

While it's a great system (I'm loving hot shots golf btw), it's not the thing they need to be successful. I'm predicting a phone version sometime next year.

So now I've got to hook this mythical vita phone up to car battery? ;)

Agree to disagree, I think Vita has a large enough place in the market to succeed - time will tell obviously.

Yes, Hot Shots Golf is rad - the more I play the more I love the physics starting to really get a feel for it now.
