Sony could have easily co-opted the values of mobiles and made Vita an excellent Android tablet. It's a great size for that type of usage. Android would stop the it's not a phone apologists as well as improve PMP capabilities. Alas, Sony is so afraid of piracy. I bet the instant Vita gets hacked to run Android(which will probably be via PS Suite) that it sells like hot cakes despite high memory costs because the hardware is a great value which is more apparent when you compare it to tablets on the market. It's HW is better than a Nexus 7 yet similarly priced.
If Nintendo has shown anything it's that relevant and differentiated software mean you don't have co-opt those values to sell. That only makes Sony's Vita software choices seem like more fail. Vita needs new portable heavy hitters like 2D Mario, Mario Kart and Pokemon and MH. Sony instead relies on mostly PS3 left overs. There has been seemingly little effort in courting publishers to make portable style games for their platform.
PS Suite had better fill the gap that is missing witht he Android app ecosystem and soon. As far as compelling software... I don't know what to say. Sony seems to want to shoot themselves in the foot. They never launch with great software and just accumulate it afterwards. I don't see why they can't come out of the gate swinging when they want people to invest in new hardware. Potential is a hard sell especially after the first few years of the PS3.
