I see the future:
Xbox One Tablet with Full Windows 8/9 (Variant of their Surface Pro line).
Nah.. that's too far from now.. a lot could happen :P
1. 3rd party found other pastures like mobile.
2. 3DS was "good enough" (KH3D/MH4).
3. Sony doesn't want to put actual "AAA" efforts (get ND or main GC to make a high budget PSV exclusive)/ catch 22.
I hope FFXV and KH3 helps the PS4 in JPN soon.
Most likely another set top box that's closer to the VITA TV and Fire TV.
I'd love FO3 GOTY port on the VITA..
Just hope it won't be much buggy.. or has a console access..
"But the light is the only way we can know that the controllers is working"
I.. I don't even..
It doesn't even have to stay on all the time and NO it is NOT the only way to tell if the controller is working.
That is FAR from the reason why most "mobile gamers" don't buy the VITA.
Most smartphone/modern-tablet gamers prefer very cheap or freemium games that are very easy to get in and out off (including load times); simpler mechanics.. and with superior multi-media and multi-tasking (switching apps to keep up with news and friends).
A lot of the gaming demographic (not just mobile gamers) seem to prefer "bigger experiences" on home consoles...
I think Nintendo would make a smart move of keeping the next gen 3DS cheap but effectively is a bit more powerful than the PS3 if it has a lower resolution screen.
2016/2017
$ 179.99 - $ 299.99
--> 800 x 480 Top and Bottom internal resolutions (3DS is 400 x 240 per eye in autos. 3D)
--> PS3+ compute (Tegra K1 Q4 2014 tablet chip will be about as powerful as a PS3/360).
--> 2 Circle Pads/4 Shoulder Buttons but maybe no...
While there's a good chance it won't be another dedicated device exactly like the VITA and PSP, I see Sony never giving up on interactive portable entertainment.
The VITA will just get absorbed is some of Sony's platform, most likely stuck between the PS division and Mobile Hardware division.
I think the VITA will be Sony's longest handheld to get various h/w iterations of specially if PS Now becomes more mainstream.
From article/blog-piece:
"P.S. – Sony. You really need to make a deal with Mojang to get a Minecraft Vita bundle out this year. If nothing else in this article makes the Vita a success, Minecraft will. Make it happen. Love – Gamers worldwide."
Seriously.
I think it would be quite a wasted opportunity if Sony doesn't make an LE PSV 2K MC Bundle w/ great value.
Maybe something like this:
PSV 2K LE...
Type-0?!
*faints*
Probably.
All I can say is that' it's the highest wanted game in #BuildingTheList/#JRPGVITA from GioCorsi/Shahid (3rd Party Relations Team).
It topped FF Type-0.
It looks worse in that IGN direct capture vid with screen tearing, pop-ins and juddering framerate.
NONE of those flaws are visible in these provided still shots.
That's actually pretty good for a small device. The outlines would make it easier to distinguish elements from each other.
Wonder why my post got deleted.

Does it have Cloud access?
Wow. Bluepoint's doin' nice.
1. Minecraft with PS3/PS4 Cross-Buy, Cross-Play and Cross-Save.
2. MC 2K LE Bundle w/ 50% off PC MC.
3. Advertise, advertise, ADVERTISE!
Keep it a profitable niche market with aggressive localizations.
Even w/ hacks and piracy, the PSP was performing better than the VITA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
MHP3 = 4m
GT = 4m
GoW = 3m
GTA = 2m
.. and more
VITA:
UCGA = 1m
The novelty for those/these kinds of portable entertainment is no longer as effective.
