Seriously... this coming from you?


Yeah strange right. I actually really love most Nintendo systems and games but because I'm decked out in Sony you think I'm a one sided troll and I'm a hypocrite myself? Stay classy my friend.

TESTIFY, BRO.

Check my tags. I had to EARN these babies through my sheer dedication to SONY.

I think you guys are now misunderstanding me :P I'm saying that the OP is arguing two different, somewhat related points. I just don't see how lamenting too many ports has anything to do with transferring games from console to "handheld."

Ports allow a game to be "transferred." By having the same game on both systems (due to ports) I can effectively transfer play back and forth just like the Wii U.

But you do see the difference right? I mean, this feature is built into the Wii U as a sort of bonus for people with many family members or friends in the house -- so that more than one person might enjoy things that are traditionally shown on a television screen at the same time. Whereas the Vita scenario rewards you for buying two different systems and two copies of the same game by allowing you to transfer save data between them -- kind of like what Monster Hunter will do for Wii U and 3DS. These are two very different things. With very different costs involved.

Now, if you had 3DS owners championing Monster Hunter and mocking Playstation All-Stars, I think you could make a case for hypocrisy. Otherwise, I just don't see the case.

What you are describing with the Wii U is exactly what happened to me with PS3/Vita. I was playing All Stars and my family wanted to watch a movie so I quickly transferred it over to my Vita and kept playing. Regardless of what costs you think are associated with it, this is the same feature as on the Wii U.

But you need to own a PS3 and Vita. And two copies of the game. And that doesn't change the fact that being able to transfer save data between a PS3 and Vita game in any way mitigates what is commonly seen as a weak line-up of software that is heavy on games that also appear on home consoles.

I think you're now willfully misunderstanding me.

No, I'm just ignoring the stupid parts of your post. Argue with someone else in a different thread if you want to talk about that. This thread is about people calling cross-save a joke and then praising the wii u for an almost identical feature.

Think of two similar cars. The first will cost hundreds of dollars for gas and takes three hours for the engine to warm up. However it has the cool feature of going 0 to 60 in one second. Now let's look at the second car. It is half the price, runs off free energy, and can instantly warm up. It also can go 0 to 60 in one second. No matter how bad the first car is, you can't say going from 0 to 60 is a bad feature on it while praising the second car for the same ability.

Oh god please don't use metaphors to attempt to clarify your intentions when challenged. This is a sure sign that you don't actually have a point.
