Uhm, but Yoshida, you do have four eyes...

 

i know, I know, poor huMA. I'll see my way to the door...

In all seriousness though, you don't need four eyes. I'm sure everyone here has managed to use a cell phone while doing something else (hopefully not driving). And even with driving, we have GPS that display maps. You glance down for a second, than look back up. Taking our attention from one thing to momentarily look at another is a part of life and could be a good mechanics in games as it is in Zombi U. That's not to mention the advantages of being able to map to a touch screen which is something that could not be easy to do with the Vita touch pad. Then there are multiplayer functions to consider. Metroid Blast, Zelda in Nintendo Land, and Mario Chase are great. You also have it as an input mechanism for games like Scribblenauts Unlimited/Unmasked. Things like navigating a minefield in Zombi U. Multiplayer in a shooter without screen sharing. Lots of potential uses. Sony even showed off some of that stuff with Little Big Planet 2.

Of course, Sony can't do that because the hardware is not included with the system. And I can't blame them because it wouldn't be worth the cost for what they're doing. Remote play makes the most sense with what the Vita does, but I wish Sony could just learn to toot their own horn without feeling the need to try and put down their opponents at every turn. Actually contributes a lot to why I dislike the company as a whole.

Lmao, good thing Sony's last three indredebly hyped consoles were complete financial failures and the entire company is in the financial gutter right now. They are in no place to be throwing pot shots when both companies are in a much more financially stable position then Sony is. Yeah, I said it. Sony as a company, especially their gaming division, if failing.

Just shot the elephant in the room.
I'll see myself out, too.

be careful dude, the Sony guys will jump you any minute.


I'm going to save this so that in two years when the Wii U finally becomes a smash hit and the Vita finally copies the gamepad's cross-controller support, I can say "I told you so."

...Wait, that would imply that the Vita stays on the market for that long nvm. (it probably will stay on the market, though in all seriousness.)

Sony failed once again... I guess Nintendo made people evolve to be able to move their eyes and use two screens... NintendoLand and ZombiU prove my point...

Not necessarily.

a. WiiU isn't doing great, so it doesn't seem to be a selling feature

b. When they showed the Little Big planet implementation, the reaction from gamers wasn't great. While it might be great for you, it seems that Sony fans can't be bothered with two screens, so there might not be a future for it on ps consoles. 

I don't see how this is a failure. Shouldn't they listen to consumers?
