I don't understand how Microsoft and Sony online is so superior when compared to Nintendo. What am I missing? Cross game chat? Big fucking deal.

Believe me, as a PS3 owner, not having cross game chatting sucks big time. It's much easier to organize a party to play with friends if you can actually talk to them without the need to everyone quit their current games to chat. And it's not rocket science, Vita is a handheld, has 512MB of RAM, and does it.

Despite that, comparing Vita with PS3, the handheld is superior regarding online in several aspect: separated game invite system, cross game chat, better group message support, easier sharing, support to patch/games download while playing other games. If you factor in PS4 with video sharing and live streaming of games, PS3 looks almost prehistoric.

Uh, why would that matter with patch downloading? it's free on the Wii U to do automatic patch download/installs. It recently updated enough to the point that system updates will auto-install aswell. Set that up for 2 or 3 am. You're sleeping, games update. On PS3/4 you need to have PS+ for that feature., which is stupid because you shouldn't have to pay for a damn timer.
