Nsanity said: (Scan text) 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
h 7" w 10.5" d 1.8"
face vs depth ratio: 40.83
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".
