Yes Wii U can? Lol, I do not know what else to say. But I am sure Sony will have it on their minds. Why not? It is a great idea and all current options for capturing game play kind of suck. Buy a device to record to your PC, to format to eventually upload to youtube or something. Horrible.

It can't because of HDCP.  Sony implemented some fairly draconian measures to prevent video piracy via the PS3 and their Blu-Ray drives. 

I think it was 2009, when that happened.

WellI'll be damned. That was actually a big selling point for me. It is always hard for me to ever buy a sony system as it is. I had a 360 this gen, and will probably have one this ....new gen as well. This is just one more reason to get one.

Yeah, it was one of the ironies of "Sony doesn't have DRM!"
