Jeez, here we go again, the Vita OS brigade! How successful is the Vita today? How successful was Xperia Play? You're delusional. To make Vita a major mobile device OS would be extremely difficult. It would be much much harder than it is for WP and BB10 today.

I have a theory going back to the Vitas launch. Back then, I recall several Sony employees stating just how important the Vita is for the company. They didn't really elaborate on why, but they just noted it was very important. I suppose it could have just been normal hype for a new device, but I always thought there was more to it.
Sony needs its own ecosystem to push to remain competitive. Apple has iOS, Google has Android, hell even Microsoft has Windows on their phones. In comparison, Sony has... PSM. Yeah... while all of its major competitors and partners have a nice, wide open field to push their own content, Sony has nothing really. Gaming and mobile are 2 Sonys 3 core pillars, so it makes perfect sense for them to come together in this way. They already have the OS, they know how to make the hardware, and they even have the content and are working to grow it even larger. It's just a matter of bringing them all together.
Anyways, back to my theory, I think Sony weren't really counting on the Vita as a stand alone device, but more of a testbed for bigger things to come. With the Vita they can work on developing their own OS, they can get tons of customer feedback, and they can lay the groundwork for their own app ecosystem. It it do its thing, all the while building towards the future where they can then bring their own mobile OS to market on their own devices and push their own ecosystem.
Just wishful thinking, probably... we'll see

Sony has the Playstation heritage to use as a base to build up from. They're not starting from scratch if they decide to push their own mobile phone ecosystem. It's just that if they decide to do a Vita phone, they have to make it a VERY desirable piece of hardware, while at the same time working to build up the ecosystem.
Anyways, we've gotta chit chat about something until new rumors come

@MtLeakerDev: You forgot the biggest negative: no Android app market.

PS3 has 77 million users. Even if we assume every single one of these people would want a PS Vita phone its still NOTHING compared to the 800 million and 400 million Android/iOS users. Not every person who buys a phone does it specifically to play games on it, thats a very small market compared to the general smartphone market
Microsoft tried this same theory (We have over a billion Windows users, im sure a lot of them would LOVE Windows Phone) and they still cant make it sell well, they are bleeding money on it. And Microsoft has a lot more money to spend than Sony

Its not from a phone. Its a dev board. The results can be better or worse in the actual phones.
