And how is the Vita any different? How did Sony not play it safe? They upgraded their multi-media gaming device. It got no where near the sales the PSP did because it was unnecessary
Nintendo's strategy with the 3DS was not playing it safe. Nor was their dangerously bad execution of it The WiiU and the 3DS are both upgrades that are meant to carry on the spirit of their last generation systems.

The Vita was a far bigger change from the PSP than the 3DS was from the DS P: Massive graphics upgrade, 2 cameras, OLED touch screen, dual analog sticks and a rear touch pad. I personally prefer the 3DS as it's game line up is waaaay ahead, but the Vita was certainly more "innovative" compared to it's predecessor.
Would you care to explain how the 3DS wasn't a safe bet? Because from what i can tell they made a grand total of one risk, and even that came with an off slide :P Take away the visual upgrades and the 3DS is a DS with an analog stick (which is perfectly fine, because the DS was incredible).

Okay, I own both and can't agree with this. The PSP had great graphics, an analog stick and a large screen. The Vita is based on the same design, but added a second analog stick, camera, a rear touch pad (useless in my eyes) and upgraded graphics with a touch screen. I don't even count the OLED as they've now ditched that and the screen other than being higher resolution than the PSP doesn't look hugely better than the PSP (which looked great by the way). Now, my iPad Retina's screen which is just LED looks far better than my Vita's. The 3DS added a third camera for 3DS photos, made the upper screen a "widescreen" format that is glasses free 3D. Gave the graphics a mush bigger boost over the DS and added an analog stick. They're both logical upgrades to their predecessor, but if you play with the 3D on, which I do most of the time, I'd give the edge to 3DS as being a bigger upgrade than the Vita is.
The one area that I do find funny was all the PSP supporters that lambasted the DS for having it's games on cards (cartridges)....Funny, my Vita games look pretty similar.
That's my 2 cents.
