3D is what you would call a feature since it adds visual cosmetics, where cosmetics in the realm of Video games actually matters as a fundamental feature. A gimmick would be a hanging pompon at the end of the stylus.

I'm a prof00. I talk a lot, but I don't say anything.

or the Wii

Or yeah, like a pompon you can attach to the Wiimote's extension port, good example there too.

EBWOP: Hey dahuman, as an example, here is a gimmick.

Imagine they sold this to kids with no blue spring-thingy. That would be a disgusting shameless gimmick.

With an appearance of utility, it serves absolutely none. Now compare that to the motion and pointer controls of the Wii...

You can't.

The power glove, hey that was a gimmick. It absolutely didn't work from what I remember. My friend had one and we couldn't even turn it on. And whenever I suggested we use it, I was always encouraged to shove it right back into the drawer.

With a semblance of utility, it served none. That's a gimmick.

The fact that Jack Tretton calls it a gimmick is understandable, the fact that you do is worthy of eternal facepalming. Congrats, you've unlocked an achievement.

I'm a claude who responded to a title and ended up looking like a big silly.

I'm a prof whose words are so meaningless that I forgot I even typed them in the OP:

It's okay that you didn't realize that I was responding to your specific points; it was partially my fault for taking off the kid gloves and not quoting a specific block of text. If my threads were as banal, I'd probably have reacted the same way.

"Vita isn't anything like the Wii. For one, people actually bought the Wii. And it had games. More importantly, it actually was disruptive."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Vita released to the fanfare of many, and the ire of others.

"There's no room in the market for Vita"

"PS VITA is a gimmick"

.....

Had you going there didn't I?

No this isn't a thread about how the Vita will surely be successful by comparing it to the Wii. I mean, for one, nobody likes the Wii really."

fuckin BUSTED. LOOOOOOOL

trying to play it cool. Please, I wrote the book on cool. Exit stage left, tail between legs.

You know I do agree on your points, which is why I said a phone version would have to come out.

I would expect a phone version to look differently.

Which is also why I wrote this thread, to point out that Sony could be in trouble with this portable.

Also stop trolling my thread claude.
even master troll rol actually read the thread and is at least on topic.

Which I thank him for, but partially I think he is just responding because he feels sympathy now that his threads are as bad as mine. :D
