    Looks like they are away to make the same mistake they did with the PS3 with the vita. While it may have all the fancy features people primarily want to by it for gaming on the move, and if nintendo offer a way to do it for £100 cheaper i think that is the option most people will go for.

    I think they're delaying the release outside of Japan because they're diverting all their stock to satisfy Japanese predicted sales and pre-orders first. Didn't they do the same with the PS3?

    And games for smartphones costs like 0.79EUR, which will really be the death of these systems. Nintendo won't fare much better.

    Looks like lots of kids will be getting a 3DS for xmas instead of a Vita. Smart move Sony.

    Is that a Vita that can also be used as a phone, or one that uses the 3G network for internet access (like the 3G Kindle)?

    Those kids aren't really the target audience me thinks.

    3ds really has no games and fails miserably because of it. But the delay can't be helped anyway I guess, the earth quake and aftermath has probably put a serious dent in the production schedule.
