They should of stayed away from all of that so they could of had a lower retail price so more people would buy it. The selling point of the Vita should be the graphics and the dual analog sticks.

While your concerns have merit, the reality is that Sony is chasing the iphone/ipad model, the vita is really a combination of both a handheld gaming device and an iphone, in effect marrying both devices into one. And I think Sony has done a damn good job of it. Unlike Nintendo, Sony does not have the strong IP to carry a handheld on just gaming alone, but must compete against the biggest selling handheld, the iphone/ipad, but to do that, the Vita must also best the iphone/ipad with better controls (dual analog, shoulder buttons, etc) and better games. The Vita has that, but to survive and thrive, it will need more and better games that utilize all the offerings of the ipad/iphone model. That model is really changing the mobile gaming market, and Sony, as well as Nintendo, must adapt and be better...
