So what if the smartphones and tablets would surpass the Vita faster? Once again, Sony should not try to compete with these devices because they are not capable of doing so, especially with a device that is in another segment of the market. Also the Vita, as a result of having weaker hardware, would be more affordable, a major factor for dedicated gaming systems. Who cares if the Vita wouldn't be capable of playing Uncharted, that's what the PS3 is for. Why add the PS3 as a competing product in addition to tablets, smartphones and finally the 3DS. Why not just focus on properly competing with the 3DS? Wouldn't that be better than failing at everything?

That's just it though, they can't go head to head with the 3DS either....Sony doesn't own the IP to any popular IP such as Pokemon or Mario. They could try and create something especially for Vita but that is a huge gamble. At least with games like Uncharted Golden Abyss....they know that will sell decently. Look at the best selling games on Vita...they are all console-style games.

and the best selling Vita games are still doing terribly, it is a strategic failure. We can see that their current approach simply does not work. If Sony does not have the IPs to compete with the 3DS then they should have invested their money into the appropriate game development, not hardware that increases costs and scares away customers and developers.
