Me neither. Even if they lose a few millions on the vita the first years... what would be the alternative?
Leave the handheld market? Companies like Microsoft and Sony pay hundreds of millions to get in a new market? Leaving a market completely due to a rough start? Not gonna happen.
Go back to PSP only? Yeah, right!
Start all over with a new handheld and ditch the vita fanbase? What could they improve? There is nothing wrong with the hardware! The production costs for the vita will sink steadily so they can lower the price tag again. And the software portfolio will grow, even if not as fast as we all want.
I see no alternative for Sony than keeping the Vita and broaden the hardware base with Vita TV.
