what they lack in visual fidelity, they make up for in portability.  they are not inherently inferior, just not catering to your personal values. 

THEY ARE NOT INHERENTLY INFERIOR, JUST NOT CATERING TO YOUR PERSONAL VALUES.  do you only read like one sentence then comment based on that?

1. It's fine, but it is important that things are objective and not mearly conjecture. This is speculation but the way your argument is supported is based on a notion that you can not back up through your opinion alone. You need some better reasoning than a fake survey that was never conducted. You could argue sales but that data supports a more equal appeal. You need something else to support that theory.

2. There is some data showing the incresing trend of smartphone gamng, but the mobile gaming market has exploded and there is no hard evidence that the market for dedicated gaming handhelds has been eroded. There could simply just be more gamers in the market today. The increased accessibility that smartphones have creatd could even contribute to increased handheld sales. But more time is needed before we can answe that. The 3DS sales are so far conflicting with original theories on the future of handheld consoles.

3. An iPod touch is an iPhone without 3G or a service provider. Wifi only essentially, with no phone capability. It's a version 4 so not that old. It still has the App Store and web browser. It is not a seperate platform from the iPhone.

4. Indeed the competition is tough, but that won't outrule the Vita. It is an exceptional product that will receive acceptance after this year. It probably won't lead the market but it will be a well supported product for years and a great option for many. It is playing the middle ground in price and functionality but it will become cheaper and more useful over the years through technology cost reductions and firmware updates. That is the glory of a dedicated system.

Just because something is praised for its graphics, doesn't mean it relies on them.  Uncharted has great storytelling, great audio, and great gameplay to go along with its great graphics, animation, and cinematography. 

Gran Turismo is stuffed to the brim with content, be it cars, tracks, locales, options, etc.  

Both of these games are fantastic, even without the visuals, the visuals are simply the icing on the cake. 

I never said that they shouldn't release certain titles. I'm just questioning their ability to sell systems.

No, I read the whole thing. Are you upset about something? :P

I did the capslock so you would see it and pay attention to it.  I don't get upset over people on the internet.  peterbed and annoyed, but not upset.  

 i said they werent the only one. Yet they form part of their appeal, take it away is making it inferior of what people expected.

For GT wich is a car simulator it forms a really high part.

Nono, I didn't clarify.  my points weren't so much about what YOU said, but what The1 said.  earlier he mentioend that these games RELY on graphics, and you said you agreed with him.  I should have clarified, my mistake.

@underlined Plenty of people bought console experiences on the PSP and Uncharted has sold very well considering it's attach rate. This argument doesn't make much sense to me anyway, console-like handheld games are the same price as any handheld game, and obviously handheld games aren't held back by people not having the money for them. 

@Bold Not really, most games on PS3 take up less than 8gb, and Vita games take up a lot less space as the resolution a vita game is running at is significantly lower than that of a PS3 game, meaning textures and other assets are at lower resolutions, meaning they'll take up less space. Also, SD cards can easily expand if needed; in the same way some games use a dual layer blu-ray, vita games can easily transition to bigger cards if needed.

Please re-read your previous comment. You said Vita games have LESS CONTENT, which they don't.

Of course they have less detail, Vita runs at a lower resolution and a smaller screen. Anyway Uncharted Golden Abyss is a completely original game. It's not a port of the console versions.
