good luck saving up $1000 for 4 players . . .

The PS3 doesn't have the hardware built in to communicate the video feed to a handheld. It's not something that would be unlockable with a simple firmware update - it's literally impossible for the PS3 and PSV to function like that.

It's POSSIBLE it could be done with a USB add-on, but that introduces lag and another purchase, and isn't even confirmed as possible. It's not just simple wireless. It would need a dedicated wireless connection specifically for each device.

WiiU controller is bigger (6.2 inches vs 5 inches) and higher quality. It's also more comfortable to hold and has 4 shoulder buttons instead of measly 2 (horrible for shooters). No contest.

What? PS3 does... even with PSP... it had that feature just the developer not use it.

PS3 + PSVita had showed doing the same thing on Sony conference than Nintendo showed with Wii U.

Could be if Sony didn't expect you to buy the same game twice to play the same game on both platforms...

You wouldnt need 2 games for streaming a different view to the vita screen. Not that its really practical for most games anyway. Where you might need the same game twice is to play the PS3 game on Vita as a standalone device.

Buy twice to stream a PS3 game in PSVita? LOLOLOLOLOL.

You don't need that.

Well then you run into the issue of witreless bandwidth, I doubt that Nintendo are using Wi-fi to stream their content, especially if you want to play online at the same time. I am sure that the Wii U has dedicated hardware to handle streaming. Nether the Vita or the PS3 are designed with that in mind, the PS3 doesn't even have 802.11n
