Do you want the Vita to eventually do better than the 3DS?

Nope.

I want my thread from before Vita launched (or just after, can't remember) to come true and Vita die out, thus proving it should have just been a phone.

Now they've moved from a limited amount of content to saying its an accessory to PS4 and it's content. That will never work. No one is going to buy $150-$200 device just to have a limited capability PS4 games on go.

Again the problem with your it should have been a phone theory is that phone games are _shit_ and will never have anything close to the kinds of games found on dedicated handhelds. And if were basically just a VITA that happens to be a phone then it would be doing even _worse_. I for one would never have bought a monstrosity like that. If a phone was their only option they might as well not have done anything in the first place.

Take it you didn't ready or even understand my original argument.

PSPhone wouldn't be playing the phone games you're thinking of. It would have those plus the "real" PS-style games. It would have been as powerful or more than PSV is now plus real controls.

Basically, take vita... change its shape a little bit to be a bit smaller/slider style, add phone tech, but do not remove any other feature except the back-side touch panel. $199 on contract, $499 off.

I'm saying that given phone competition you would have most potential phone buyers going elsewhere and most dedicated handheld buyers (IE people like me) not willing to pony up the $499. I already have a phone thank you very much and I don't want a smartphone that looks like a handheld with buttons and that would be required to make it a viable handheld gaming device. It's just one of those things you won't yet be able to merge.

Eventually when we are able to get haptic feedback oled phones the size of a psvita, maybe then I could entertain your idea. But until then the form factor and necessary bits for either one do not make for a good experience.

I also cannot see AAA development studios paying attention to it.
