I seriously hope the next Nintendo handheld is a Vita clone I love the design. Yeah, thankfully I love niche Japanese games.

It definitely is damage control. Like you said and Ive said earlier, its weird to call it a legacy model.

Actually, that brings up an interesting question. If Sony is going to abandon the handheld market, and the NeXt Nintendo handheld is at least slightly more powerful than the Vita, do you think most of the Vita titles (the ones not tied to the PS brand) would be ported to the Nintendo system?

It's very likely. My biggest fear if the Vita truly is Sony's last handheld is that Nintendo might get lazy, I mean, I feel as though that's already starting to happen with Nintendo. But I just hope less competition means less interesting hardware/software from their handheld side
