The reason I will keep using my Vita on the go is because it can be used as a phone, and it still has the best mobile games on the market, and the ability to play PS3 and PS4 games via 3G streaming.

At this point I still plan to get a Switch, it is just highly disapointing that the portable aspect of it is going to be absolutly worthless. It is going from a device that I had ambitions to use for hours a day, to a device, that I will only have time for at home, when 1st party Nintendo games come out.

You dont have a phone?... do you actually use your vita as a phone? (if you do.. you're nuts.. truly)
concidering that a vita has a 2210mAh battery you should be looking @ ~2,5-3h of streaming time? since a 3g module usually has a rating of 500mAh, plus screen etc.

i would guess you have the same battery-life on a switch. so you have to have a battery pack / charger with you regardless of what system you are playing on if you wanna go on for longer.

and tbh. are you realy streaimg your PS3/4 games when you are out and walking about? or are you just using that to upsell the product regardless of you using it or not? (if you do.. kudos, but so often ppl pull up random features they don't use as 'this is why this is better' )

I currently don't have a phone. I did have an Xperia X, but I ended up giving it to my dad, because he needed a new phone. I only bought the X because Skype was not going to get regular updates ion Vita anymore, but so far it continues to solider on.

Yes, the battery only lasts about 6 hours if I stream music off TuneIn to my Bluetooth speaker. I do have a charger at work that I keep it plugged into after lunch. Typically I start using it around 14:30 to listen to music, I have a break at 17:00, and I either game of browse the web, then I have lunch at 19:00, this is when I use remote play or PS Now, after lunch I plug it in and leave it plugged in tell the end of shift 23:30. When I get home I typically use it tell about 05:00 for some games, e-mail, and web browsing if I put PS Vue on in the back gorund.

So yeah I use the game streaming. It is really a great feature as long as you have a good connection.

Also, I thought I should add that I only keep skype on if I have important business I have to tend to. Otherwise, I just have everything go straight to voice mail, and I get an e-mail notification if someone has called. I also use PSN for texting. When I had my repiping and heat pump installed, I had both contacts download PS Messanger since I didn't have texting. Everyone else I know either messages me on PSN or Email.
