Why oh why is this even an issue? Vita will be great for remote play, but it aint no ds4.

I still don't get it. People are laughing at the WiiU that they offer a tablet where you can also remotely play but the vita-solution is getting likes. Although it will most probably be a technical inferior solution (enhanced wifi vs. standard wifi).

With Sony and remote play it is very straightforward. If you have a Vita, all traditional games played with DS4 will work with remote play. Also in home the quality should be on par with Wii U streaming. At least with PS3 you could connect directly without wi fi just like with Wii U so I hope/expect the same to be true for PS4 but we don't know yet.

Nintendo gets laughed at a lot for the Wii U gamepad because 1) asymmetrical play has failed to workout beyond party games and 2) the expensive gamepad is forced on consumers. I love doing off tv play on my Wii U and will love remote play on Vita-PS4 but all the details behind the curtain are what make people prefer one over the other, even if the end experience is identical.
