I wish Sony had designed the Vita to *be* an Xperia. Smartphone which will still be a useful console after it's contract has expired? Sign me up! Alas, they wanted thumbsticks which stick up and proprietary memory, which are both kinda deal-breakers for smartphones....
It's fair to push new smartphones even when the old model still has legs. The smartphone market is ridiculously competitive and you need to offer consumers all sorts of options and price points.
