This is not good for Nintendo. If most of the features can be mimicked then they just lost 51 million possible consumers whom they are aiming at with the WiiU.
I have been saying for a while that the Wii U wasn't going to be sufficient to get PS360 owners to upgrade and this only cements that they aren't offering enough. This and their flawed position on online.
Considering the PS3 will probably have a price drop this year the PS3/V combo will be price competitive especially for the 51 million that already own a PS3.Were I Sony I would put the PS4 on hold unless M$ announces a new console. |
I doesn't matter whether a feature can be "mimicked", it only matters whether a feature will be taken advantage of at a high enough quality often enough to have an impact on sales; and anyone who believes this is the case with the PS Vita/PS3 connectivity is simply being delusional. After all, over 5 years ago Sony talked about how the PSP and PS3 could interact and yet almost no games were released that took advantage of those features; why would we expect PS Vita/PS3 connectivity to be taken advantage of when PSP/PS3 connectivity never was?

"I doesn't matter whether a feature can be "mimicked"" well actually thats what this whole thread is about - naughty dog claiming that the ps3 vita combo can replicate the type of experiences nintendo is going for and while this is true
"over 5 years ago Sony talked about how the PSP and PS3 could interact and yet almost no games were released that took advantage of those features"
theres evidence now that sony is taking the ps3 vita connection much more seriously with the demonstrations of cross play online and transfer of game data via the cloud to say that because they didn't do something in the past and therefore won't do it in the future is just wrong because theres obvious evidence to the contrary
edit heres a video demonstrating syncing via the cloud funny enough it looks very similar to what nintendo showed of the wii u with a game being played first on the console then continued on the go with vita :

....but as i said in the op the fact that ps vita ownage won't be standard for all ps3 owners will impact how much support it recieves
