^^^I'd rather play those on my PS3 - not a handheld.

I think that's Sony's biggest problem right now because that's the majority opinion.

You'd rather play LBP Vita, CoD Declassified and AC: Liberation, which aren't available for your PS3...on your PS3?

Pretty sure he meant that he would rather play those types of games on the PS3. ...on the PS3.

So basically just every type of games? Platformer, FPS, action/adventure etc. Why does Mario get a free pass in situations like this?

Oh please Pez, don't be facetious.

Games like COD and Assassins Creed were tailor made for the scope provided by a home console.  Mario gets a free pass because the only thing similar throught titles like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Galaxy, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the Mario Universe/Mushroom Kingdom likeness. Otherwise they all play much differently..........and sell a hell of a lot more.

That's not what I meant. Would people not want to play Mario on their console instead of a "pathetic" handheld? Why does Mario sell great on both handhelds and consoles? Because the games are great on both. Now, tell me, does LBP Vita look great or not? Looks amazing to me. AC and CoD sure are interesting and have the possibility of being great and they're not even the same games as the console "counterparts".

I'm biased; I wasn't a fan of the first LBP on the PS3 - I felt anxious and a wave of tedium while trying to play it. I question how well a handheld edition will push Vita.

There is still a stigma that the handheld editions are downports of the console iterations.
