Well Shinobi I agree with you Sony can't not innovate. However I feel Sony would he better off innovating their current Dual Shock rather then a tablet controller or camera. I think the touch pad in Vita is a great innovation to put on the dual shock a Mic with voice control. Maybe a camera 5 MP QR codes and maybe even NFC tech. All the innovations being introduced lately the future of gaming. Why does Sony need the camera (Kinect) Microsoft is not even using it as much a ton of its control functionality is voice commands. Why does Sony need an expensive tablet controller? What functionality would it offer that could help Sony survive?
As I said next generation will likely he the generation of non competition. Porting titles will be very difficult all three companies will be using unique hardware. Hardware that won't be fully comparable each version of a game will be unique. Sony needs an edge they need a niche with MS going after casuals and multimedia, Nintendo going after casuals and innovation. This Sony's chance to secure the hardcore classic old school gaming market. Plus with innovations to the Dual Shock as I listed above Sony will have tons of functionality developers will eat up.
Later on Sony could release a Dual Shock with a screen, all Dual Shocks would already have a camera. The addition of the screen would be a luxury accessory.
Sony needs to pick its battles.
