I think you misunderstand though. Vita can play games and media on PS3 through remote play, which is the most useful if you can set it up so you can play anywhere you have an internet connection. (great for vacations, those overseas, stuff like that)

Yes, most people go on vacation to play videogames ...

These games though are for each system with the Vita version being cheaper than the console one ($40 as opposed to $60?) and in some cases, and I hope in most, they come free with that $60 purchase of the PS3 title. Not all titles apply, but you get what I mean, it's advantageous to have both. Handheld games have traditionally held cheaper price points than consoles, so you win out buying the handhelf version.

Yes, of course. Many, many people want to pay 100$ to have the chance to play a game on PS3 & Vita. Free Vita game with a PS3 game? Wishful thinking. How could a publisher earn money when they give away Vita games for free?

As I've told other, I bought a Vita because its better than a PS3, PS3 2.0 if you will. It's a ton smaller and has a built in display. Cross game chat, better browser, more control inputs, and more apps. Unless someone is planning on tackeling a backlog of PS3 games, I'd recommend them get a Vita over a PS3 hands down.

Most people want to play games like CoD or Uncharted on the big screen with surround sound etc. not on a tiny Vita screen with worse graphics. Obviously there are not many people who wants to play Uncharted in bus or train.

The Vita is a misconcept and the last nail in the coffin for Sony. Perhaps there is a little chance for the Vita if it sells millions in the next holidays, but this is wishful thinking and will not happen.
