Does it matter? I'm out on a daily basis and never see people with 3DS's or Vita's, bet they rarely leave the house.

Exactly the problem with Vita and 3DS. 

1. Most are not connected devices, so why take them out on the regular.

2. Thanks to number one, they are regulated to basically dedicated gaming machines.

3. Due to one and two, this is the smallest handheld generation ever, and therefore finding someone with a Vita or 3DS is a 1 in a million chance.

Mobile hostpot and a battery pack, so easy. I have unlimited data on my phone and I can use the wifi of my apt almost everywhere cause I live in the 21 century :p, so why another bill?

Not everyone is so lucky. Nor do I have the room to carry multiple devices everywhere every day, or the time to be pairing them. As for the battery, it really depends on how unchangable it is. If I can get to it to swap it, then cool, I typically have power around me all the time, but as mentioned below, batteries only last so long.

The only reason not to include mobile 4G/3G is to cut costs.

No mobile data, severely underclocked hardware, low 720P screen.

If you can't upgrade the battery, then I would hope the device is water proof.
And if it isn't water proof, then it is a stupid design decision, lithium battery's have a finite life-span, it is a matter of *when* they fail, not if.

So much good stuff here. It is really incredible that they won't offer a wifi one for $299.99 and a 4G one for $399.99. I can live with paying $399.99 for something I will use for a couple hours everyday. But, even at $250 or $300, it is hard to justfiy for something I will only use once in a blue moon. The underclocked hardware and low res screen where also something I could live with for a great mobile device, but now that it appears it will be an at home only device, it fells quite upsetting. 

The battery thing I have to see. If it is soldered into the mother board, then that is just....?



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
