I just want the hardware to give them the power to do that and the companies to give me value (PS+, free online, funding their exclusives, and supporting new IPs). I hope the DS3 is compatible if they have some expensive touchpad controller (really don't even see how that would make anything easier since you wouldn't be able to tell where you were tapping relative to the screen) I'll just use it. |
The touchpad should not be expensive at all. The rumors suggest a very DualShock like controller, so it might just be slightly bigger to place a simple at most 3" touchpad like on a laptop. That tech isn't costly. They might go the route and have a cursor too. DS3 will probably be compatible since I can't see Sony not allowing for the analogs to navigate their OS. All they have to do is keep bluetooth and that won't be costly at all.
The expensive controller will be the Vita and that is a console itself so it serves purpose outside of the home. The Vita price will go down over time too. It is an optional controller that will tap into asynchronous gameplay concepts that will create a multiplat friendly link to Wii U games, but it should be pretty easy to make a game not need the second screen to play. Have in game menus rather than second screen menus, etc.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
