Should Sony ditch the Playstation Vita?

And why would a Mario Land and a Mario Kart game escape that label? They are both console games. Why would I want to play them on a 3.5" screen?

Because Nintendo games aren't epic, so the lack of a big screen and dolby surround don't have any notable negative impact.

I doubt the only people buying games like Uncharted have large screens and surround sound. I've played Golden Abyss and felt it fit just fine. The daul analogs makes a previously console only experience fit. The vita's screen also puts out a very nice picture. Vita has some nice speakers on it and headphones can really help take you into the game. The talk about console vs handheld is getting really old, I don't feel there needs to be a seperation.

To form an anology it seems like; there is your favorite cafe, where you get your coffee. They sell coffee in 8 oz cups. One day you go in and now they have 8 oz cups and 16 oz cups. All of the sudden the coffee shop isn't doing it right? From what I can tell it is now catering to customers that like larger cups or both. You can still get your 8oz cups, so why all this butthurt? No offense directed to anyone, just in general. This concept seems to be permeated in individuals and ideas spread, especially negative ones, like herpes. While positive views don't get their fair share of traction. People are wired to accept cynicism as a survival mechanism and to be skepticle over praise. I think if you are going to lay waste to opinions and spread your own, at least try it. And just so you know the 3DS is doing the same thing, console experiences, like Resident Evil: Revelations? Adding a second analog stick? Is this really about how things should be done or a primal fear of change?

onsoles have been doing the same thing for a long time, smaller games are pretty prevelant on home consoles. I know one might argue "but this is downsizing a larger game", true but the screen is much closer to you. If the system is capable let it do what it can. You don't like it, don't buy it. Right now Golden Abyss is the biggest selling Vita game. I'd guess other "console type" games will sell well too.

Though screen size and surround could be negatives, I can't take my TV out the door with me, but I can put on some headphones and take my Vita. Home console quality games on a handheld are a HUGE positive. It's been a very long time since a handheld has been able to replicate the majority of console games. Every since the adoption of the analog stick, handheld gaming has been missing out on the control and gameplay changes consoles have. Last gen handhelds had to change gameplay styles entirely to fit some series from home consoles.
