Seems to me like Sony just admitted defeat in the console war.
I expect 1,5 million lifetime sales.

So how does SONY announcing a EXCLUSIVE GAME that is similar to another game equate to SONY admitting defeat in console war?
I swear I don't know if its just me but seems like forums are getting more and more dumb by the days...

Because they are getting less original as time goes by. It all started with the analogue stick, a more recent example is the Move and this is the final nail in the coffin.
They haven't tried copying franchises before.
Edit: Also, what do you mean by "dumber these days"? Have you been lurking for years? Or was your old account permabanned for some reason?

do you really think any console would of released in the seventh gen without any analogue sticks? Sony, Sega and Microsoft all saw how useful of an input device the analogue stick was, so they included their own version in their controllers. It's taking what other company's do and putting your own twist on it, every company does it, and they do it because it works.
Move is similar in the contrl scheme to the Wiimote of course and I'm certain Sony wouldn't of released it without the Wii being as big of a success as it was, but again they saw that a lot of people wanted motion controls, so they catered to that audience. It was smart, if people thought about buying a Wii just for those controls, they had another option now, I'm sure this helped stop some Wii sales for sure and provide a few PS3 sales too (improving PS3 marketshare by a tiny bit).
Lastly about copying franchises, I remember similar style threads (although not as popular) when LBP Karting was announced, people were shouting rip off just like they are here, and you know what, I honestly didn't care what other people thought, I was excited to hear that announcement and I'm excited to hear this one.
I own a Wii, Mario Kart and have played SSB (I didn't enjoy it to be fair) and you ask why would you buy a game this game if you own the Wii equivalent already? Simple. I want to see Sony characters, I want to see Sackboy vs Kratos, I want to see Sly vs Jak vs Ratchet and I want to see loads of Nolan North voiced characters fight it out on stage, this game was created for people like myself who wanted to see these battles, and the game will sell reasonably well because of it
