What, you attribute the failure of the Vita to that the PS brand is losing steam? I'd say that must be the smallest reason that Vita sales are abysmal.

 

Since portable and homeconsole gaming are two completely different markets it makes perfect sense to not include handhelds in this.

The PSP's success was attributed to the strength of the Playstation. The failure of the Vita is an indication that Playstation has lost relevance in mobile gaming. Its unlikely the home console will compensate for those sales, but I could be wrong.

Those are different markets but the profits go to the same place and they part of the same brand.

So what you meant to say was "Playstation as a handheld brand has lost steam"?

Yes, but we aren't discussing Playstation profits, we're discussing Sony's homeconsole sales/brand strength.
