How do I treat people like nerds? Where the hell did that come from??"

People really need to stop being so offended to the point of attack because someone decided to write somthing about their beloved console maker. " 


Never the less, all companies are breaking everyones patents. Most companies ignore it, but the big ones take each other to court when they really feel like their feelings are hurt.

Looking over some of the patent details that you listed, I’m not seeing the similarities that you’re suggesting.

1) The hardware does not communicate in the same way
2) Technology presented, does not suggest that sony is doing anything in the same way.

"Glimmer of hope: "" Yet again, this has nothing to do with PSP or remote play. This is for something new, it was filed in 2010.
Please read before bashing.

I seriously cannot believe the people on this site, I am actually shocked. "

You’re missing the point. People are making reference to the remote play, because you’re suggesting that nintendos patent on the controller is UNIQUE. People are telling you, that sonys earlier patents already utilize technology … though arguably in a much different way.

Really? ....Really? So because I say I have a job and a life, explaing why I cannot spend all day defending myself on the computer....you claim I am calling people nerds? That is so far from reality, I really dont know how to respond to it. That assumption is without merit.

A tablet controller is unique. It is a controller and a tablet all in one.....I see tablets and I see controllers. But not all in one.

Makes me wonder why Sony didn't add remote play to the Xperia Play phone like they did with the AINO. If they did that then you would have a tablet device (Albeit with a smaller screen, but same functionality) and full gaming controls. That is one thing the phone was missing. Would have enjoyed the ability to stream PSN downloads like minis, PS1 games, etc... to the phone.

Also, the Vita fits your criteria though. Dual sticks, 4 face buttons, d-pad, shoulder buttons (Vita requires back panel to simulate R2/L2), 5-inch touch screen, ability to stream gaming from console to device. Only difference is that one is mandatory and can function only with it's host console while the other can go solo.
