Sony fucked up *HUGE* by not having the Vita have a full Android OS and support for the games built in. Would have made it exponentially more appealing to a major segment of the population, they still could have pimped their first and third party platform exclusives along with giving third parties an out to open up additional revenue streams down the road once a relevant period had expired(say four years or whatever).
They really wouldn't have had any downside to this approach, hell the hardware *SCREAMS* Android gaming device.
Also- Sony's outrageously expensive flash memory is bad enough, how fucking slow it is makes it a not amusing pathetic joke. Another small gripe- why did they drop the sweet ass OLED screen for some piece of shit LCD- meh.
What is better in that segment?
A feeble 3DS?
A Shield that can't be pocketed?

BTW- we have an original Vita with the OLED screen, it's just a bad ass portable.
