Why Nintendo is failing and will likely replace both of their consoles earlier than expected.

Perhaps I can agree to some degree.

But if the Vita was a phone, I wouldn't have bought one.

Do you own a smartphone?

Assuming yes... if Vita had the same power, same controls, same games, plus all smartphone capability (lets assume based on Android)...

You wouldn't have considered buying it at $199 on contract and potentially $99 on contract when on sale?

I think not only would have well over 90% of those that currently own it, but a much larger mass of other consumers.

But that's a different thread I've already done a year ago.

Yes I do own a smartphone.

The Vita would have been too big for my convenience to use as a smartphone. And no, I will never be under contract with my phones.

I use my Vita and 3DS for portable gaming (although rarely used outside my home), and I take my phone and half the time, my tablet, with me when I leave the house. All for their own respective uses. Particularly my point, I paid what I paid for the 3DS and Vita because I knew they were for the most part dedicated gaming consoles and that's what they are used for. The Netflix app? Rarely used.
