Microsoft are experimenting with a tablet-like controller with a shape closer to Sony's sleek Vita handheld / Apple's iPad than WiiU's bulky unit - it's an HD screen surrounded by the traditional 360 buttons and sticks.

My favorite part... just goes to show mediatic bias and lack of integrity.

The Wii U controller is in no way bulky. Next, if the 360 controller is as small as the Vita, then it promises claw-grip. Next again, the Vita doesn't look anything like an iPad for anything other than a glossy screen and it color: black. Here is what the WiiU controller looks like from the front and back.

And here the Vita. I don't see it proportionally thinner than the Wii U controller given front surface:

And now the numbers

Wii U

h 7"  w 10.5"  d 1.8"

face vs depth ratio: 40.83

Vita

h 3.289"  w 7.2" d 0.73"

face vs depth ratio: 32.44

Vita's is smaller, but then again it's unclear whether the number I got subtracted the back wing for the sholder buttons, which should not be counted in the depth numbers when it comes to "bulkiness".
