To my way of thinking if there was a Vita phone , it would sell at around the price of it's competitors and most likely come with similar spec in regard to extra ram etc ,also it would enjoy the same luxury of releasing upgrades every 6-12 months , now this sounds good from a phone point of view but not so much from the games side for a closed system , I'm mean really if Sony want a phone with analogue sticks surely it isn't that hard to add it into a future smart phone , and leave the vita as a dedicated games machine .

and they did do that. However the Xperia Play was bad in that it was a low-end phone at launch with no gaming library. Had it been Vita's power with Vita's library, things would have been drastically different. I'd own one right now for sure. Maybe a 2nd one for my oldest son.

What i meant by that was in todays market with todays tech ,you allready hit the nail on the head in regards to Xperia , I see the  Vitas strength is its closed system and you know what you get , where as smartphones tend to be on this cycle of new versions are appearing every 6months and apps and small games rule the roosts , to me in Sonys case  it was created to be the psp's succesor but they can build up a gaming software platform on the Vita then some of that can easily be translated to a Sony range of smartphones  , in short the Vita spec rather than the machine itself would have made a good phone when it came out but the past is the past and it was made as a game machine , any way i have skype on the thing.
