Forums - Sony - Can't the PS3/VITA combo already DO, the WiiU?

They haven't really shown off the PSV's motion sensing capabilities in that sense. They've shown cross-platform multiplayer, yes, but nothing directly linking the two consoles like that.

On a side note, let's agree never to call it Vita. Ever. It's the PSV.

(I really don't like the way you say that. Its a null-statement)

I remember how everyone ran out to buy the GBA so they could link it to their Gamecubes to play Legend of Zelda with the "Tingle Tuner" or play Four Swords. If memory serves, it's what put Nintendo ahead last gen and made Sony discontinue the PS2 (Launching with Luigi's Mansion didn't hurt, either).

PS3 linked with PSV (a standalone system) is.....you know what? I don’t know where I'm going with this. I'm high on glue fumes.


I expected that much after reading your first paragraph



I would say that cost, simplicity and battery life would favour the Nintendo solution. I don't think the Wii U will launch at $399.



Tease.

how do you arrive at that conclusion? when did nintendo or sony annonuce the battery life of either device? furthermore how does simplicity factor in?

Well, Konami mentioned in their conference they have plans to make all (their) PS3 games streamable to the Vita. So who knows.

Im getting the feeling that you're acting dumb...

It was designed to be a controller... I think this is obvious, no?

how many controllers have had a screen, microphone, etc built in? it technically has all of the features of the ngp except that it has a larger screen and has to stream hd content without lag ( which must mean it uses more power ) i don't see how its dumb to reason that it would use more power and therefore it may not have more battery life

furthermore you never answered how its the simpler solution?

No it doesn't... It's single touch and only a front screen. NGP has 2 multitouch surfaces.
