I don't think its hardware is weak. Just that Sony's business model for it was bad, which is why I've maintained it should have been a smartphone. Sony's target audience largly won't buy a smartphone AND a dedicated handheld that besides core gaming, has less features.
Nintendo can do that because their handhelds target a younger market by default. One that will not have smartphones, but would like games and other 'smart' features.
So, Sony needs to either directly compete with Nitnendo (which it doesn't have the 1st party to do so) or directly compete with smartphones (which it already has the competency to do so). Of course it should still be based on a dedicated game console (i.e. controls and games) but also be a full smartphone.

Good points
Though I personally can't imagine a Playstation phone being successful. How would that even be shaped and formed?
I think the model they're trying to accomplish is better than the smart phone model.
To be honest though, I don't thin

There you go.. android 2.3.. 4G/hspa plus enabled.. capable of playing most high end android games.. and.. a limited launch line up of ps1 games..
Sony discontinued it within a year..
they are supposedly going to launch XPERIA PLAY 2.0 which could be their biggest push with a playstation phone.. while probably running ice cream sandwitch/jellybean
