 Sony strikes me more (in this case) as being fortunate to have a similar set-up, rather than years of toying with ideas, games and uses for it.  And your Eyetoy reference doesn't help your case:  Eyetoy launched in what, 2003?  And Kinect has already matched its sales in less than a year?  Not a strong argument for Sony's ability to make their concepts irresistible...

 

um they have :

anything they do with vita - ps3 would just be them building on the foundation made by years of experimenting with connectivity between ps3 and psp

I agree, I'm sure they've been experimenting with ideas on connectivity.

But your links actually prove my point, which is once you have a game displaying on the PSP, it's no longer displaying on the TV.  A big point of Wii U is to have this asymmetrical gameplay where the TV displays the game being played by multiple people while the game simultaneously displays on the controller screen giving instant interaction.  PSV will give the PS3's connectivity a far better input device than PSP, but I don't know that it will rectify this.

Don't misunderstand, I think PS3/Vita will be great; just using the screen for maps or inventory is enough reason to love it right there.  I'm just saying that if this new control method is the next highly supported thing, Wii U could have the edge as far as capabilites and performance, despite the fact that the PSV by itself is a far more capable device than a Wii U controller is.
