It's in that spot right now where it's too powerful to make the best looking games for.  They're expensive to make, and then, not very many people actually have a Vita.  So, I was thinking about what the successor to the 3DS might be like in relation to the Vita.  Would it be safe to assume they would be compairable?  I don't see why Sony would bother making a vita successor that is more powerful than it, and create the same issue of problems the vita is dealing with right now.

Would it make more sense to create a new model for the Vita to go against the 3DS successor when it's released?  Shouldn't development for the Vita be cheaper in the next 3-4 years?  What if the console picked up momentum in the next two years or so?  I just wouldn't see a point in the next nintendo handheld being much stronger than the vita, if the games would become too expensive to develop.


Not sure what you  mean by too powerful..you do realize that both nVidia Shield Tablet and iPad Air 2 are generation ahead of Vita? And when I say generation ahead I mean PS4 to PS360 jump, not iPad Air 2 to iPad Air jump, which means they can currently run 7th gen console level games...like Trine 2 for example.

By the time next Nintendo handheld launches, that type of performance will be in most, if not every, mid-tier tablets...so they better have at least that kind of performance in their next device.
