The PS Vita was a console with top-notch hardware that was vastly underutilized, whereas the 3DS was a console that was born obsolete. However, its manufacturing company was and still is specialized in portable devices, dominating the market through software! Everything is money, and Sony takes this quite literally! Did you think about Gow III, the RE remakes, all ported to the PS Vita? I think those would have been great ideas that might have raked in good money and increased sales of Sony's portable devices!
