Sony focusing on Remote Play with Vita instead of Cross-Controller support because people lack “four eyes”

Sony copied!?  :O

Oh wait, no they didn't.  Nintendo copied Sony with the whole playing the game on the tablet.  PSP and PS3 could do it with Lair, BlazBlue, all PSX, and some PSN games games.

The Vita launched with Remote Play available, able to use every game the PSP could have with the PS3.  Ico/SotC HD Collection and God of War HD Collection were later patched to work with Remote Play as well.  The patches announced in June 2012, released in September, and a couple months later, November, the Wii U was released.

Since the PS4 is powerful enough, Remote Play is being done at a hardware level so that all games will work with it and not a few that have to be developed with the feature in mind. 

I don't think anyone copied anyone with this, but if you want to get technical, Nintendo did this with the GBA back in the Gamecube era. 

The GBA acted as a menu system while all the action took place on the tv screen.  Not at all the same.
