Of course you only see people on the internet saying that. That was the point of my post. It is in regards to VGChartz. Mainly in the days before the Vita users migrated to the Official Vita thread.

 

In the real world the Vita problem is that it costs $200 to buy it and then you need to spend $40-$50 to buy a game and also need to buy overpriced memory cards, meanwhile people having phones that give them great gaming for $1-$5. Vita is still stupidly expensive for what it is. Sony should revamp it entirely, with an Android based OS and give it full access to the Play store. I would love to move over to the Vita to play Brave Frontier instgead of my iPhone and it's smaller screen. Not going to happen though...

I love mine, especially for remote play and free PS+ titles. Can't beat free.

People who buy PSP didn't have problem with buying the console then a memory card and a 30$-40$ it's the same for Vita,people already have a smartphone why would they buy a Vita then.

You're problem and many other people is you don't understand that Vita audience is not like Nintendo consoles audiences or Smartphones audiences, child games won't work on Vita indie games won't push Vita sales ,making Vita a smartphone won't solve the problem because Sony smartphones can't compete with Apple and Samsung.

People want AAA games on Sony handheld and you don't have enough proof that people don't want AAA games on Sony handheld i think the top selling games on Psp and Vita is an enough proof that people want AAA games

Phones in the world of 2004 is much different than the world of phones in 2012 and on.

 

I also do very well understand the Vita audience. I am and have always been a niche gamer. I play the JRPGs, I play the obscure indie titles. 

The games they actually do release for the console are the ones I actually enjoy the most.

 

Due to the rise of smartphones though you won't see the Vita selling like the PSP did. It took a huge chunk of marketshare away from dedicated handhelds.
