I think a CNET writer stole my idea and made a full article on it.

I whole-heartedly agree that Sony should have done things differently with the Xperia Play and PS Vita.  The guts of the PS Vita should have been packaged in a mobile phone.  That would have brought more convergence and would have put Sony on the forefront of mobile gaming, rather than trying to play catch-up with Nintendo with the 3DS or acting as an also ran in the smartphone market.  However, I don't believe mobile gaming will overtake consoles.  Ideally they compliment each other.  Sony's problem is not the PS3, it's their lack of a unified vision that moves the company forward.  Rather different businesses acting in concert like a navy, they are ships plying the waters alone each attacking their own targets.  Too much is to be gained in the family room, and I think Kaz knows that.

Essentially we agree on the ideas here, but you still didn't support your statement that my idea wasn't orignal and that it had been talked about for years earlier.

My OP is mostly in jest and even if that person did read my thread and then make the article, who cares. I just found it funny that a very similar article came out hours after I made my post here. However, I do think my idea was rather original and I distinctly know I've never come accross anyone else (prior to me) stating something so blatantly similar that Sony should not make a dedicated portable console and instead it should just be a smartphone. Only thing remotely close would be the wishfull thinking of many that Play would have been something really nice, but at that time anyone talking about it still clamoured for a real PSP2.

Just admit that your original attack on me was wrong and in reality you know of no such discussion. Its ok, I won't make a big deal about it. really.
