The game is actually fun once you get past the learning curve and you start using the claw, not to mention the fun factor is amplified if you play with friends in ad-hoc who are just as capable as you are.theBishop said:

How long until those are <250$ and games make use of them though? 5 years?
You bet your booty. I can only play Uncharted: Golden Abyss on the Playstation Vita, so it's an instant buy for me. It isn't affected at all by what phone (or other handhelds) I have. I buy gaming consoles, not phones, to play games. If the software is there (and it is), I'll buy it.

It also isn't a smartphone.
Buying an ipod touch for 205$ that has way lower specs than Vita, no buttons, tinier screen, etc just to listen to MP3s and play "minis" seems silly to me.
I can understand when it's a phone because, you know, EVERYONE has a phone nowadays and every phone in the market is either android or iOS and thus more or less gaming capable. If you're going to have a phone that can play games then you might as well use it, and if you're not a gamer then you may not need a handheld console (just like there were people that used their "dumbphones" (such a dumb name) with the Snake game while some other people were playing pokemon emerald on their GBA). But going out of your way to buy an mp3/mp4 player than can also play games and it's almost as expensive as a handheld and is way behind it as a gaming machine... I just can't see it.
I definitely want one, but I'm not sure if I want to get one right away. I don't really trust Sony's first party offerings on their portables, as they often farm out their franchises to B or C tier developers. If it gets downloadable XBLA-style games like Castle Crashers, Pac-Man CE DX and a few good full retail games then I'm in for sure.

As an iPhone owner, nope. I've already got a 3DS, DS, and PSP.
This generation I was planning on just sticking to the DS and PSP but I ended up getting a Wii and 360 through sales, and now I've got way too much stuff to play and not enough time.
Just sticking with the 3DS throughout the upcoming generation for handhelds.

Not all iOS games are minis, some of them are high production games no less than what you get on the DS or PSP. The iPod touch compares competitively against current PSP, this won't be the case with Vita but you can bet Apple won't be standing still.
The Vita is huge and won't fit in most people's pockets, the iPod touch is excessively thin and light, runs iOS apps and is an iPod. It won't displace the PSP Vita and neither will the PSP Vita displace it.
Software prices will also be a factor, not a lot of kids can afford +$40 games.

Answer to topic: Yep. Have both an iPad and a high-end Android phone. None can give me the quality of gaming that either the Vita or the 3DS can.
Nope, I'm not interested in most sony franchises, not a big fan of Uncharted for example, and its way too much money for me to spend right now. I like my iphone for the occasional game but I'd rather just game on the television.
Maybe when its cheaper and there is some content that the interests me.

There are a handful of iOS games that I really like, but it simply doesn't compare to what the Vita is offering. Day 1.

A new metal gear solid, rachet and clank, or one of the games from the Ico guys might push me over the edge to get the Vita but except for Ruin, the lineup so far does not interest me that much. I have a psp and I really liked it, but I did not buy one until it was affordable.

As I type this on my iPhone, while on a boat ride down the Mississipi River.
Yes, buttons, buttons, and 2 anolog sticks are what have me excited. Not to mention dat line up of games on day one. At least 4 that I'm interested in, and 2 others I'm on the fence about.

I have an iPhone, and I will get a Vita at least eventually. I don't really like playing games on my iPhone all that much, and Vita is bound to have some amazing games that I will enjoy. Since the PSP is getting so much JRPG support nowadays, chances are it'll be carried over to the Vita, which is already showed since the 3rd party list did consist of companies like GUST and NIS...
I will more than likely not.... I have a console for the big experiences and a wp7 covers my mobile needs pretty well.
They do have one chance to get me though (but I don't see it happening). They have to price their full handheld games much cheaper than they plan to. That is my real hangup with both the 3ds and the vita. I am NOT willing to pay more than $20 for a "full" portable game period.
It is not so much the $1 games on the mobile platform's that get me.... its the comparison to things like xbla which on their high end are $15 and provide very similar depth of gameplay, graphics, etc to something like the vita. I would be willing to pay slightly higher than xbla prices but not twice the price...... that is just insanity imo.

i play very few games on my iphone 4. There are some great ones on it though.
I might get a Vita. Cause chances are that there will be great games on it. and it's a real game machine.

No. My mobile gaming is pretty casual, so I'll stick with my iPad.

TBH, I think that this is one of the harder roms to get running smoothly and there are obviously things you can do to improve performance.

Once they squeeze the Vita's components into a competent smartphone that can play Vita games with actual physical controls, most certainly I will.
Basically, I'm holding out for the Xperia Play 2, because like most people, I don't have the room in my pocket for yet another device.

I will if the games are there. I have a iPhone, and 3ds. No phone will ever replace real games on a handheld for me. I love my 3ds more then my iPhone for games, even though there are not many 3ds games.
When I look at the games on iPhone it makes me cringe, maybe I'm just not a touch screen guy, but analog can not be replaced by touch it just isn't practical. Not saying there are not interesting games on the iPhone, there are, but there are so few that use the platform in all the right ways.

I have an iPhone 4. I own both a DS and a PSP. I will not buy a 3DS or Vita. If I'm at home I will play my consoles or PC and when I have time on the go my phone is perfect and I have many great games for it. I have no interest in playing full fledged console like games on a handheld.
As an iPad 2 owner I will absolutely be buying a Vita. It is what I have always dreamed my iPad could be as a gaming device but way more powerful and less than half the price. The lineup of announced games is stellar as well. It is one amazing device, I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

This.
I may not get it at launch - I'll probably wait to see the next wave of games first, but there are a couple of games that I do really want (Uncharted, Little Deviants, Little Big Planet).
It is similar to consoles. Just because I have a Wii, doesn't mean I wouldn't have bought my PS3. They are two different beasts with two different sets of games.

I own an iPhone 3GS and won't be ditching iPhones as my phones anytime soon.
I own all the handhelds from last gen and will own all the handhelds from this gen. What matters is the unique software. Ouendan could be done easily on the iPhone, but, well, it wasn't. GameDevStory could be done really easily on 3DSware but it wasn't. Birth By Sleep could have been done on PS2 but it wasn't.
I'm not the guy who sits around lusting over a game on another system while simultaneously bemoaning pocket space. If I want the game, then I get the system eventually and play it where I can.

I own an iPhone, an iPad, and a 3DS.
And probably at some point down the line. The initial line-up isn't *too* compelling (sans Hot Shots Golf, sucker for those games), but probably 6-12 months down the line absolutely.

At release? No way. Will wait, not interested in buying a system at launch, 99% of the time.

I own an Iphone 4 and a 3DS.
Most of my gaming on the go is with the Iphone just because of ease of use/carrying space. That said, I bought the 3DS for the compelling software that's coming from Nintendo. So if I find a title that demands my attention (Like OOT3D) then I will bring my 3DS along on long trips where I know I will have large gaps of free time. But most of my gaming on the go WILL be with my Iphone. It's a device I have to have on my at all-times and it really is second-to-none when it comes to accessibility and quick gaming. I can jump into Broken Sword for a bit or get a quick game of NBA Jam with a simple swipe and click.
But in the end the Iphone will not be offering the quality and in-depth software like the 3DS or PSVita. Period. I just really don't believe a touch-screen-only system can replicate such software like Mario or Uncharted. So now it just matters of how compelling the software is for the PSVita. Is it enough to get me to drop my console pad at home and pick up a handheld? Do I even have the free time to invest in that? And is it really worth paying $250 for? Me even questioning this makes me think that the PSVita has a tough battle ahead of it, not only for casual gamers, but for Hardcore gamers alike. Sure, if that must-have title comes along I will put the $250 down, but a new console/handheld is not the impulse buy it use to be last generation, and that is oddly concerning to me.
