no to vita 2, yes to psvr 2.

Is it too bad to dream of a mobile console that can function like switch but still be used as a phone?

I considered that but something worth considering is the specs of a great portable console may not be the same as a good phone.

I mean look at Xbox 360 or maybe even X1. Great for gaming, well above the typical phone game, but a piece of shit for practical stuff like browsing the web and the UI is slow/not great.

Hence, maybe core gaming devices and phones should be different things for now. I mean at some point you would be using a mediocre phone just because it plays some great games.

Considering Andrew Houses views on PSVR1, I could very easily see Sony ditching VR. For some reason, the dude hated the idea of VR, and decided they should be overly cautious. Even with him making it difficult to find units in some regions, they have a substantial lead on the competition. Instead of embracing it, and creating a door for innovation, and creativity, his new tone is that he is uncomfortable being the market leader. He has an oppertunity to use PSVR to greatly expand his platform, but instead it looks like he is going to continue to try and do as much damage to it as he can.

For some reason Sony and Nintendo would rather 10's to 100's of millions of user than add Cellular capabilities to their devices. Even more mind boggling to me, the majority of people in the gaming forum communities are totally aginst it as well. 

I have been dreaming of a PlayStation Phone since PSP. I know a a couple dozen people that absolutley hate their Android and iOS device, and would drop them in a second if either Nintendo or Sony announced a 3DS or Vita with just basic calling and texting. I honestly think the only way traditional gaming will ever survive in mobile/portable form is if they finally bring connected devices to the market. They won't ever reach the levels of Android or iOS, but they should be able to recapature a PSP+DS level of market or more, which will be perfectly sustainable. 

The XBO and PS4 don't have any issue with hardware when it comes to something like web browsing. The problem is they are not optimized, or intentionally limited by Sony and MS. Much weaker versions of the AMD APU used in XBO with less and slower RAM are much more capable than XBO at web browsing using Edge. 

Yeah, you got a point. X1 is supposedly running Windows 10 under hood but its not really apparent based on the speed of the interface.

I don't know if its intentional because MS has been boasting about the performance improvments made on the interface.

I would say np, just keep supporting the Vita. But then again, it's been 3rd parties doing that as Sony jumped ship long ago.

Yes, especially since it's looking like the Switch *will* also be getting a fairly steady stream of high-end 3rd parties, including the normal multiplats (lower graphics than the competitors, in exchange for portability), there is very little that another Vita could offer that the Switch doesn't already, and the Switch has the advantage concerning exclusives. 

Wise decision.

The problem with House is he used his power to create this situation with PSVR to this point. I get that he was cautious because he didn't want to produce 5 million units, and end up in a situation where they were stuck holding a bunch of unsold stock. However, I think he was overly cautious, but that can be argued a million ways.

The bigger issues is the extreanly pessimistic view he has had towards PSVR in every interview I have read from the announcement of the device, all the way to now. The rest of the executives, Kaz Hirai, Jim Ryan, Shawn Layden, and Shuhei Yoshida have all been very positive, and at least publicly push VR as a growth platform for PlayStation. It is quite disheartening as a share holder, user, and a fan to see this guy at the head of PlayStation have such a negitive attitude.

As for the Phone, I agree it would only serve a small demographic, just as consoles only serve a small demographic. Should consoles not exsist, just because they only sell to roughly .025% of the population?

Would Sony/Nintendo let other messeging apps on their platform? Would these developers even support these devices if they did?               I can't say.

Who is it going to appeal to outside of the couple dozen people I know?                                                                                                                        The ~.025% of people that have iPhones, Galaxy phones, LG Phones, or other phones, and only use them to do basic texting, take pictures, and post stuff to Facebook. Not everyone that has a smartphone is absolutely in love with the device, or the ecosystem they bought into. My arguement is that there are enough of the 200+ million people that buy console, and some that don't, would have no issue dropping their current phone in favor of something that offers the console experience on the go. The world outside the forums has a much different view, than I see from the online gaming forum community. When I talk to people about games in real life, or chat/message people from online gaming sessions, I get a get a lot more people that think a PS/Nin Phone would be awesome. They can't all be just politely agreeing.
