Do you seriously believe that there was nothing Sony could have done regarding the topic that the analyst addressed?

Like what exactly? Make it a Smartphone? People that want smartphones do not want bulky physical controls on the smartphone..thus with the PSPGo, xperia play and Now the PSVita is a wash! Three tries, Three times the majority of Consumers are playing on smartphones and Tablets. that means any left over consumers Sony would have to fight Nintendo for those very Consumers.. and when it comes to handhelds Nintendo has not been beaten ad the king of dedicated game handhelds in japan let alone in the rest of the world in over more than 20+ years, its not going to happen, So Sony did the most logical thing to do, work on the Unity Game Engine to be up and running and to release the playstation Vita in a market where they can market the platform New!

the Name of "Vita" was just as much of a problem to market as the cost of the storage card problem.. so taking it from a handheld to a Micro console is better from a "fesh new start" to market the system, and instead of the handheld market they are going for Apple's crown in the Streaming box platform. one of which is I think has a better of a chance to over come's Apple's lead in the streaming TV box area than keep trying to etch out a lil sliver of market share in dedicated handheld gameing when most of your 3rd party developers for handheld game development are in smartphones and tablets anyway. but atleast with the PSVita hardware being standard slightly tweaked Arm Core Chipset it can get support.
