Tablets are massive pieces of junk that have no place in the tech industry
Smartphones are filled with uninteresting "free" games
Other handhelds just dont take off

PS Vita is amazing if you like Japanese games/indie games.

+ it has really good games like KZ: Merc & Borderlands 2

To all you people laughing at that notion:

Compare the Gameboys and DSs to the PSPs.

I don't look in the PlayStation section of the store a lot, but when I do I don't see a very extensive selection of games for PSPs. Unless the games are just downloaded on the PSP, then my bad.

Also I don't hear a whole lot about PSPs either.

@tingle

more due to the PSP not taking off as much in NA/EU and having shorter legs than anything. sales =/= quality.

Honestly, besides simple puzzle games on devices such as phones... Games are really lacking considering the technology. I don't know why developers try using crappy touch screen controls if Bluetooth controllers exist.

If you can pay for a $200 phone, but not a $50 controller to play portable platforming and shooter games you probably are doing something wrong.

Buying a controller for a mobile device makes it stop being mobile

@zek

Have you seen controllers for mobile phones? They usually just snap on, and aren't even a full size of the phone... Some are just cases with analog sticks and a few buttons.

A 6" phone is less portable.

BUT games can never take full advantage of them due to the majority of the audience not having a controller.

plus they have to develop for the lowest common denominator so it works on most devices
