Don't some Wii games allow the DS to be used as a controller too, e.g. Pokemon Battle Revolution? Given how much the idea of connectivity was pushed in the GC/GBA era, I thought it was odd it wasn't utilized more this gen, especially given how much easier it would be for users to implement (given the higher number of Wii/DS owners relative to GC/GBA owners and the ability to connect up wirelessly). That it hasn't been makes me suspect that publishers are reluctant to release games with features that require purchasers to own two separate systems. Now if Sony could release a SKU that had both a PS3 and a Vista together and with an advertising campaign that showed it doing what the WiiU can do, then I think the WiiU would have a like-for-like competitor (with the Sony SKU having the advantage of its 'tablet-controller' being an actual hand-held console that could be played on the move). Whether Sony could release such a SKU at a competitive price is another question, however.
