No point in releasing "gaming tablets" to compete with iPad, Kindle if they don't offer free games as well.

You known that could be a great idea! Let those free apps/games take care of the casuals, and then the PSN store has the core games we're used to.


Exactly. The number 1 things kids want this Christmas is a ipad and like number 4 is a ipad mini... I'm sure there is market potential

Incidentally, your attitude towards gaming in public strikes me as immature.


There is no need to be rude. It's how I personally feel about playing games in public places. I m not saying its bad for anyone else. It's just not for me. 

You're right. That was rude of me. I'm sorry.



My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

The Vita has PlayStation Mobile which is an App store. It just launched so there aren't many titles but there is an expected 70 by Christmas and then they will start flooding in like mad. Android developers can easily port their apps over to PSM since they use the same code. The Vita has Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Google Maps, Email, a great web browser and more. Add in all of the apps it will be getting through PSM and you have yourself a tablet. Why don't people know this?

We know you love your vita, but please, stop the shilling. There are some phones with a bigger screen than the Vita, it can't be considered a tablet.

Shilling, what are you insinuating. Try adding to the conversation, don't just try and undermine what I say with your bias.

What's in a tablet? What counts now a days? With mini tablets can't it be one of those? "Tablets" should be considered more about what they do, how they function than the size of their screen. The Vita is a tablet, it is a touch screen mobile device with multiple computer-esque functions and apps.

Do you consider the ipod touch a tablet?

Why not? Tablets are just smart phones without the network chip in them. The bigger the tablet the more powerful, the smaller the opposite. 

I agree with others that Sony needs to make a vita with a network chip asap. In fact I have been saying that they should have a PSP phone since 2005. With the Xperia Play coming up on its 2 year anniversary, contract subscribers will be looking for something to upgrade to. Now is the perfect time. To make things even better there has been a major shift to phones with 5 and 6in screens. That would allow the Vita to fit right in. As chark has said, PSM has got apps covered, so they don't need android for these devices. Hell, I only need a phone for calls anyways. I would much rather have real games than the apps I never use on my phone anyways.



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.

It sounds like a good idea but i'm not to sure what to think of it



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030
