Why Sony, why?


well fact of the matter is that the Z2 tablet is sony's newist Tablet, and its pretty darn good one. im not sure how Sonys tablets are doing but if they are growing at the same rate of their smartphones are then we could probably say that the Z2 might make more money this year for Sony than the Vita ever will. (just a wild assumption). Sony are focusing heavily on Smartphones and tablets and this is just their effort to promote a product that is very good and will perform good as well. unlike the vita which has crashed and failed. 

They'd be better off signing an exclusive deal with Apple where the dual shock 3/4 works natively with ipod/iphone/ipad  and releasing their portable franchises via itunes app store. Talk about making a KILLING.

apple would never go for it. also, i doubt a lot of controllers are sold for playing on tablets. the real money here is from selling the tablet its self, which makes shit loads of money.

True, but their tablet will never be able to compete with Apple nor get the marketshare they want. Apple may not go for it, but Sony would be dumb imo not to do something like that. iPad has what, 80% marketshare?

It's not like you can have a tablet on a stand on your lap on say the bus and use a proper controller. It just won't work and most mobile games don't support game controllers anyway. At least with 3DS and Vita, the controls are built into the device and all developers are likely to use them. Developers rarely develop features in games for accessories but by having something included in every unit, developers are far more likely to use it. 

Even though tablets are very portable, the setup in the tweet isn't practical really

there is a lot of growth in Tablets and andriod tablets sales are growing hugely. its not to late for sony to ride on that bandwagen, also Sony doesnt need to reach apple level of sales to be profitable.

Ya know what, this made me think...even though there's some joking in there you're absolutely right. The DS3 isn't even their best controller.
