It is a great thing that the Gamepad has more Buttons. And being able to play on the Pad if the TV is used by someone other is a true feature. But after I have seen the promotion video with the Touch Screen I must just say that that I do not want to play in such a way. Take this video here:

Most of these features have already been used in videogames before (sniping, map, weapon upgrade, escaping from an enemy who grabbed you...). That are no new features and I have never thought to myself "oh, I would have prefered a second screen for this feature.". I do not like to waggle if I could press a button instead. These features should simply be optional... I still sometimes prefer using the digital pad over the analog stick because I feel that I have better control with it. On the Wii I always prefered the classic controller to the Wiimote.

I simply do not like touch screens or motion controls. They can be used for some sort of games (take Professor Layton... the Stylus works brilliantly here) but I do not want my Action Adventures or RPGs with these "new play controls" because I simply feel that the "old" controls are working perfectly.

Its true that you can't jump into a trend or development very late and hope it will catch on, which is why I question the tablet controller (jumping onto an established trend rather than creating a new and unique one) and going HD this late... Sony be damned. I know OP is being sarcastic but you still manage to sort of disarm your own point in the very first post.

Everyone copies everyone, it's just that Nintendo has better known terms. I call it the "Wii U experience on PS3" because if I said "cross-controller" people would be clueless.

See the way it works is Sony comes up with something unique before the competition but Nintendo is usually the first to have the guts to produce it. After seeing how great Nintendo's product sells, Sony decides to go back and finish their initial designs. Recently however they seem to be moving away from this and growing their own balls. The PSP was supposed to have multiscreen gaming with the PS3; Sony had the concept but never executed it. Sony decided to resurrect this idea with Vita way before they knew what the Wii U was. Heck they showed a demo for this LBP2 DLC mere weeks after the Wii U's unveiling. Either Sony dropped everything the instant they knew about the Wii U to make this demo (that includes coming up with the concept of making it lbp2 DLC verse a different IP, stealing Media Molecule's team/assests, and of course programing on virgin hardware that didn't have a final dev kit yet (possible but improbable)) or it was already in the works.  Just recently we saw the release of wonderbook, probably the best evidence to my claim. Instead of inventing this far fetched technology and sitting on it, they gambled on releasing it first. If wonderbook does well it's a good sign Sony will go with a fully unique experience next gen.

Thanks but I alredy had a this gen console... I'll wait the next gen.

LOL are you serious?

Haha with ps3+vita i could do almost everything wii u can and that was the case before the wii u even came out lol!  And please do tell what did Nintendo made that was so innovative wii mote wii u tablet LMAO!
