That's because they're retarded with how they went with Vita. They could have made enough traction had they given it some love.

I mean I'm not surprised they're doing this bad in their handheld division. Speaks magnitudes with regards to their Xperia line up as well.

They can still pull this off if they are smart enough to find a way to integrate their Xperia line up with their Playstation brand. No, I don't mean Remote Play. I mean exclusive games for those. To achieve this though, they won't be able to use Qualcomm chips as they're very bad compared to Tegras.

I mean just do these checklist and you probably have a chance in the market.

-Modified Android OS. The closer to AOSP the better.
-Stop treating it like a regular PS on the go and defirentiate it
-Integrate or partner with Google to allow Google Play apps to work on it

It's a good thing you don't run any division in Sony.

Gaming devs aren't going to magically support an Xperia outside of normal mobile games.

Sony aren't going to bother getting publishers to relicense their games for a phone.

No one is going to pay the price it costs to get a current Xperia with the added cost of making it gaming orientated as well.

They have first party they should be able to bring in some games.

The problem with Vita is they didn't push hard enough for it and mostly they tried to emulate a PS3. The only magical thing that happened to switch is they tried to market this as a home console by loosely defining it as such. It's nowhere near the standard of a regular home console but hey people buying it and that's what devs care about.

If you think mobile games are something to scoff about, just look at the success some mobile games have right now. If Sony manages to 

I mean at this point, they have pathetic market share on their Xperia phones. They lost their portable gaming division. Regular home consoles can only go so far. People are becoming more outgoing and busier as time goes by.
