I don't see anyone with a brain that doubted this Sony but ok.

He seems to be talking about portable consoles, not home consoles.

Is it just the Vita itself or are they talking about the Mobile game division or w/e its called.

Neither.

He is talking generally.  He is saying there is a place for dedicated handheld gaming devices in the market.

I agree. But they will become increasingly niche and will be dominated by Nintendo. 

i disagree.  while there are many niche markets that can do well enough video games aren't one of them.  there is a delicate ecosystem between the number of consumers, the number of developers, the number of games, and the number of game sales.  too few of any and the ecosystem collapses.  there will be no place for dedicated handheld gaming devices in the future.
