Do you seriously think that SmartGlass would of been introduced if Nintendo didn't go second screen with the WiiU?  

The reality is WIiU caused Microsoft and Sony to also add a second screen interface to their systems.  

Yes, because Smart Glass has nothing to do with Wii U and everything to do with AirPlay. I don't even know why you'd even bring up the fact that Sony lets you use a Vita to play LBP2. Merely mentioning it expends more energy than Sony spent in the concept and implementation of such a lazy idea (although one that I'm sure all 10 Vita owners will enjoy).

Do you seriously think that the great innovator Nintendo would have given their console a tablet controller if the iPad weren't setting the world on fire?

Which hit the market first, the Nintendo DS or the iPad?  You can usually get tip offs as to what Nintendo is planning on, by seeing the direction of their hardware.

What is being discussed on my end is the driver behind innovation in the videogame industry now, from a leadership standpoint, comes from Nintendo.  That is what is demonstrated.  Sony, while more than Microsoft, still plays catch up with things.  Nintendo isn't playing it safe at this point.  They don't react in their own way to what is going on in the videogame industry the way Sony and Microsoft do, with Microsoft likely the largest practicer of this.
