My point being that the WiiU's ability to stream with this kind of performance may not be able to be done on the PS3/Vita, despite the fact that the Vita is a far more capable device on its own than a WiiU controller is.  Only time will tell, though.


Well look at it this way, GT5 Supports 3 monotrs, running 3 playstation 3's in tandom, one being the server. showing 3 diffent views, So yes, it's very possible for the vita and ps3 to do this. Beside, sony already said they could.

Yup, you're right. You'll need 3 Playstation 3s and 1 if not 4 Vitas. Good idea tho, sounds just about market feasible. 

I'm not sure you understand. You'll only need one, ps3 and 1 vita, or more vitas for extra players. In GT's case you need 3 PS3's just for the video out's. Point is, it can run side by side, and be fluent.

So you're going back to graphics argument? Cause we all know how that goes. Doesn't matter what looks better, still pulling off the same thing in the end. Besides the WiiU's table screen is sub HD, 854 x 480. So no, it doesn't display the same WiiU graphics it will on your/mine nice 1080p TV. So your argument is mute.

No, it's you that does not understand (not sure why, since your own example states it clear as day).  The scenario you cite with GT is USING THE POWER OF THREE INDIVIDUAL PS3s to support the screens, not one.  The Vita is not the PS3.  Of course the PS3/Vita can have interactivity... the Gamecube/GBA did that.  And the original Halo could support LAN play with multiple Xboxes in use... nothing new with this concept.  One more time with feeling:  it's ONE PS3 pumping out a full game to Vita and the TV running simultaneously that's in question here.  I'm skeptical that it can, but I'm not saying that it's definitely impossible either, just that your logic is definitely flawed.

And just because the WiiU tablet screen is only 480 is not key here.  The GC/GBA connectivity was not merely limited by resolution, but by the fact that the GBA was still not displaying GC quality graphics.  So his argument is not moot.
