wii U ships with that controller, psvita is a seperate purchase. sony can unlock it but it will never gain much traction with developers.

Pretty much what you highlighted.

Pretty much what he highlighted.

Its true PSV is a separate purchase but still it could work with multiplatform titles, for example Darksiders 2 developers won't have to cut the Wii U features from the PS3 version they just have to include them on the disc as optional. I think thats a good selling point for people that already have a PS3.

yeah, no, you have a point.  but honestly, i think 3rd parties are going to view the wii U as just another place to put their games.  i don't think you'll see much if any games that truely utilize the wii U to its fullest but instead go the direction of the psmove integration with bioshock infinate or kinect integration with mass effect 3 - a kind of cool extra that doesn't affect the core gameplay in a profound way so that the core gameplay can be put on to both (soon all 3) platforms.

as such, ps3 and vita integration ala wii U could happen i just don't see it being supported in a meaningful way.

but hey, i'm not trying to hate.  i actually really like the idea of the touch-screen-on-controller the wii U is doing.  i hope sony/ms shamelessly copy it.

The biggest drawback is PSVITA doesn't have R2L2 buttons which means it can't really be a 1:1 replacement for the WiiU controller.
