| GameAnalyser said: Don't you think PS3+Vita would compete with Wii-U? And that sadly is coming from a five and half year console to a console that hasn't been launched yet. What will be that extra "element" that trounces PS3+Vita off ? |
You still don't get it. It's NOT coming from a five-and-a-half-year-old console if it requires the Vita to work. Then it's coming from a 6-month-old console.
There has been some manner of compatibility between handheld and home consoles since at LEAST the GameBoy/N64 days. GBA/GCN took it to the next level. So let's narrow it down: the Wii U can stream full retail console games to the GamePad. You can play a full console game in the next room over from the console running it while someone else is watching TV. You couldn't do that with the GBA and GCN. You couldn't do that with the DS and Wii. Could you do it with the PSP and PS3? Not that I've heard. That means you can only do it with the Wii U or the PS Vita, both of which are next-gen hardware. The PS3 can't do it on its own.
But if Wii U still needs something more (even though it doesn't), it's MUCH more powerful than the PS3. This whole conversation reeks of redundancy. The Wii U is next-gen. That's a fact. Asking why it is next-gen is silly, as it's well-documented that the Wii U can do things no 7th-gen console is capable of, it's more powerful than any 7th-gen console, and it's made by a company that released a 7th-gen console 6 years ago. There is no dispute to be had. You're just being stubborn.
Once again, show me how the PS3 uses NFC. Show me how it can support 5-player simultaneous local multiplayer on a single console. Show me that PS3 supports physical AND digital distribution for all full console releases. The next-gen features are there, and they are plentiful. If it wasn't implemented in 7th-gen consoles at launch, it might still be a next-gen feature, even if they were eventually able to do it through a peripheral.
