Flip it anyway you want at the end of the day Sony is still selling garbage numbers each month. To be honest I would rather say Nintendo is my main competition at this point. At least then I would only be 10-1 on my sales and not 5000-1 if they are serious about contending with iPads and othe tablets.

Something everyone has to consider is both the psp and vita where poised to crush Nintendo and devs early on really thought this to be true; however, the opposite happened and now vita is far worse than psp was. Now 3 years from now when Nintendo releases their next handheld device I doubt devs are going to take sony's machine serious if there even is one. Which means more devs to create new games for Nintendo out the gate. Not to mention we have no clue what the next DS machine will be, but what I can say is I'm done with gaming on my iPad as is my 6yr old son(minus angry birds) maybe Nintendo will make a smart phone that plays all DS games ;) what would that be like even if just an addition to another handheld.

 

you state this:

"Flip it anyway you want at the end of the day Sony is still selling garbage numbers each month. To be honest I would rather say Nintendo is my main competition at this point.

they already are! that's the point, Smart Devices, are already  competition at this point, Sony had no choice, and its also direct  competition at this point just as much for Nintendo! That's the main point, Nintendo cannot ignore this part of what smart devices Absorbtion, and if you look at what Nintendo is doing with the handhelds they are designing for the market, they are while doing very well the system's is not geared to defend against smart devices Absorbtion of this part of the market.

Ok yes you can flip it any way you want it, lets do exactly that name any other Dedicated handheld Game system produced , by any other company that has more market share than Nintendo!

There is none right? Right they are the 1st place, Now name any other company that makes a dedicated Game Handheld system that has more MARKET SHARE that is more than Sony's by any other company other than Nintendo? there is none!

So that puts Sony in 2nd place, right? right! and yes that number may be small, and that number is no where near Nintendo's but there is a real problem in just looking at it the way many are looking at this. And you may not want to admit it, but when it comes to handheld devices for gaming now, smart devices can not be ignored now, not because we may not consider them "Game console's" but because they have disrupted this part of the market! its not if : it has already been disrupted!

Before Apple''s iOS and Google's Android,  almost all windows Mobile and Palm OS did not have App Stores only a very select few even had such a store and the app's selection was very limited, right now consumer's from young and Old are groomed, right from the devices desktop on handheld PDA's like those before, were not set up for that type of software distribution environment like it was for the DS AND psp.

Now that is no longer the case, smartphones have absorbed the PDA into its market, and slowly but steady the same thing is happening here, If you look at what the main development investment by 3rd party developer's and publisher's are concentrating on for mobile development, its not Nintendo or Sony anymore, yes there is a good number of 3RD PARTY DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE still BEING in Development for the 3DS, but the reality of the Situation unless you are Nintendo, the Lions share of Mobile development is for smart devices, that even outstrips the Handhelds made even Nintendo.

Do you really think Sony did not see this?, if so explain how the PSVita TV was produced So Quick after the PSVita was released! do you really think Sony did not have that in the works until recently, or did they have it planned for a while?

So Sony's PSVita is set as a platform for the market, of now what Nintendo is concentrating on, but on the area where investment of Mobile smart devices is heading for not only Game development but game network distribution!

Smart Devices are making a direct play not for the Mobile space, they are already there, they are making a play for the living room , because many consumer's already use those devices more often than not to check email, look at movies waste time anyway, what's adding Games to the mix, any more of expense to invest into. AT&T, TimeW. both are investing heavy to not just movies and TV shows but Gaming also.

the Living room is the HUB, ie: all these next generation living room consoles, are built to be Hub's included in the very foundation of the design, the Nintendo WiiU, with its Tablet controller , and Microsoft with Smartglass..Apple with Apple TV. GOOGLE With Google TV.

Notice even without the PS4 in the Picture, is if someone was to get a PSVita TV instead, you can still use functions that allow you to take the games on the Go with a Mobile PSVita anyway. Even without the PS4 in the Picture

PS4+ PSVita = unifies game on the go with the living room 

or

PSVita TV+ PSVita = unifies game on the go with the living room

or 

One PS4 in the living room + PSVita TV in every bed room or a PSVita = PS4 extended to every room of your House thus unifies again the game on the go.

it was about unifying Playstation as a platform, its no longer just about making just a handheld anymore that's not going to cut it anymore,

Because the Smart Device is making sure its not going to cut it anymore! there is a far greater chance for this part of the market to be absorbed, into smart devices than the other way around. Sony has had 1st hand experience, Nintendo has not.

Many consumer's want the same Apps, on the go be they in any where in your house or in the case of Sony's playstation anywhere you are as long as you have internet or Not "in the case of Home" you could use remote play without even having internet!

Once again , many it seems are still looking at this as "only from a Dedicated handheld game market Only" which is fine if you want to view it that way, but its not the primeary 3rd party development platforms for game development for mobile devices anymore that, now is the smart device.

If you want to be Honest about it, while i full on admit Sony is not doing very well sales wise with the PSVita, i also know that Sony is does indeed have better preparedness in defense to market Absorbtion by smart devices than Nintendo, right now and as i was pointing out, because of this, Sony's PSVita has a higher chance to be success, maybe not in anywhere near the market share in the dedicated Game handheld Space as Nintendo, but they sure will or could indeed retain the 2nd Largest market shere in the dedicated Game Handheld space, and since the PSVita has a higher clock rates iPad III GPU with More dedicated Ram, Sony can retain more profit without having to release, a change in hardware for quite a while. Since right now even within some regions the PSVita is net profit return even on hardware by itself, and many are at break even.
