This thread is gigantic. However, I agree with all the comments that say it is weird that Nintendo delayed announcements because they feared that competition would copy their oh-so novel concept.
What is so new about a handheld that plugs into tv? My PSP does that via a acessory, I am sure the Vita can do it too somehow.
Do not get me wrong, the idea is cool, but not revolutionary at all.

Your PSP wasn't technically on par with the parellel consoles of that generation.

True, it wasn´t. But still, sounds to me that this is not as revolutionary as Myamoto made it sound, don´t you think?

As a money making idea, it sure is, it reduce the costs of having two different divisions (handheld and console) and it maximize the software avaliability I guess, as they can get away with a lot by saying so and so games are for the On-the-go part, like, shovelware that costs peanuts to make will be plenty.
