I think not. I don't even think they should have made the vita to begin with.

Not a chance. At best they bundle an android gaming kit with their smartphone line and aim it at gamers that way.

No. Hopefully Sony will focus on the PS4.

I'd be really surprised if they do.

Yes.

i seriously hope so, i actually find a lot of enjoyment out of handhelds on commutes to Uni and wish for them to never die out as sony actually does a mean handheld just needs a few more games.

Sony handhelds will be more niche as smartphones and tablets get more advancements

xperia brand handheld?

nahh i dont think so.
exclusiv mobile game on xperia smartphones maybe..?

dunno

I doubt it.

Sony can't compete with Apple and Samsung smartphone so i don't see how a Vita phone will change the situation
