." Sony never demonstrated Vita doing "what the Wii U does" until after the Wii U was announced and even then, it didn't demonstrate it comparably well at all, much less at a reasonable cost."

When they showed the Vita crossplay was one of the things they did show and talk about, hell even the commercials showed it with MLB. So either you dont know what you're talking about or you're lying. And 2nd of course they didnt say anything about Wii U, they didnt even know at the time


I'm still trying to figure out where this Vita crossplay factors into the Wii U and Upad? Second, where did I say "they" said anything about the Wii U at any given time? Where did you get that from?

Also, as I said above, the GBA and GC did what Sony is doing as well as the DS and Wii. What the UPad does with the Wii U is completely different than what Vita does with the PS3. Sony didn't already have the tech. They don't have the tech even now. Vita and the Upad use completely different technogloies. Also, Nintendo settled on the idea for the touchscreen controller being used with their next console in 2009(or was it 2007) in case you forgot.

Good luck with trying to figure that out, Ninty rep was the one to poing out the comparison and saying SONY was copying with the Vita, which is a wrong statement seeing as the Vita was made and has already been released and Wii U hasnt. Its not about whether Sony copied a concept but Vita is not copying Wii U. Unless Sony sent someone into the future to find out what Ninty was doing.

What does the DS/Wii do?? Can I use it to play games and features of off the Wii. Cause if not its not the same thing at all. I'll give you that they use different tech, but they achieve some of the same things. With the U pad you can play some games and stuff on the pad without the use of the TV, streaming from the console. This is no different than what PSP/PS3 did years ago and is not different than what the Vita/PS3 does today. Now granted the Wii U is going to do more, of course it is. Its using better tech, but lets not pretend like Ninty is being original here and this Wii U thing is something that they made up on their own, because its simply not true
