Kind of the opposite, actually. The Vita hardware is really nice. I'm still impressed by it, to be honest. However, it taught me that handheld gaming is my least favorite form. If I'm at home, I want the game on my PC or home console. If I'm away from home then ... I'm probably not going to want to play a game. Even if I know I'll have to be waiting, like at a doctor's office, I still find it awkward to carry a handheld with me. I'd rather take my Kindle.
If the rumors are true about the NX then it sounds like it will sacrifice home console performance in order to meet handheld demands. That's how hybrids usually end up. A jack of all trades and a master of none, so to speak.
Of course, great games can render that less meaningful. Only time will tell.
