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.

I'm pretty sure there will be. It may become smaller, but it won't vanish. I'd really like not to mention Nintendo in this post, but there's no way around it: They have established a userbase of I'd say around 30-50Mil DEDICATED (of course I can only guess this number, but even the GBA as their weakest selling handheld sold 80Mil) buyers of their handhelds and 2x as much POTENTIAL buyers. As long as Nintendo makes profit off handhelds the market won't die. Simple as that.
