My ultimate question is whether mobile gamers want console-quality experiences on the go. While Sony seems to grasp the importance of ubiquitous digital distribution (there will be a variant with AT&T mobile broadband integrated), I am not sure that the market really needs the Vita. The most intriguing element of the console is the new "PlayStation Suite SDK" which will allow game developers to code a single application that can be played on any "PlayStation-certified" device, such as phones, consoles, and tablets.
I guess we'll find out next February whether gamers are willing to fork over $249 ($299 for 3G) to carry yet another gaming gadget with them.
