The Wii U GamePad and the PlayStation Vita are touchscreen-to-TV devices. According to Sony Worldwide Studios Vice President Scott Rohde, the PS Vita is the superior device of the two because the “Wii U tablet doesn’t have a processor in it.” Unlike the Wii U GamePad, the PS Vita and the Nintendo 3DS are handheld gaming devices. The 3DS also has a processor and, like the PS Vita, is capable of connecting to a home console.
“That Wii U tablet doesn’t have a processor in it, so it’s got to be fueled by that box sitting under your TV.”
“We can do some pretty special things that you’ll start to see on the [E3] floor this year and you’ll see more over the upcoming months about what you can do when you actually have a processor in the thing that’s in your hand as well.”
“It’s only been three months though, just three months. There are a lot of games on that machine and I think what we have to hang our hat on… Every single person that actually picks that thing up absolutely loves it.”
What a joke…
theyre trying to compete with WiiU,, they cant bash 3DS because it got games. Good games that the Vita can never had.
I can list a metric fuckton of titles on the Vita that wreck the 3DS lineup. So try again, buddy.
Try this: Sony is trying to compete with a CONTROLLER! They have a whole mobile console to compete with a CONTROLLER!
Except Sony has never said any of the sort, so stop bullshitting yourself with fabrications.
I will pop these here
3DS: http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/3ds?view=condensed&sort=desc
PS Vita:http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/vita?view=condensed&sort=desc
Now tell me the games that wreck the 3DS… Nice try there as I can see the 3DS has many more titles in the green than the Vita. And before you say I am a fanboy I own both of the handhelds, got the vita on day of release. All because you an link a game on the Vita you think will blow the 3DS doesn’t mean
they will. Main thing the Vita is missing in my opinion is some good games and the 3DS has those
The majority of Vita games aren’t even present on metacritic, or had nearly enough professional reviewers as 3DS ones to average them. Try to research your shit properly next time rather than just pulling up random lists of air to inspire some sort of case.
A bunch of these titles are short burst games and not remotely on the same production quality scales as well, in fact the highest rated title is 10 year old game on the 3DS. Go figure.
Could you possibly provide a list of these games? And tbh the highest rated game on the vita I would wanna pick up on a console not a handheld
Haha,pathetic little people arguingabout whether 2 equally goodconsoles makes me laugh.
Wethatwasfullofspellingerrors,itreallyisearlyinthemorning?
If Sony isn’t trying to compete with a controller then
what do you call this article. They are trying so hard to convince people that remote play is better then the wiiu gamepad but I’ve seen the videos and remote play lags like crazy
Get the fuck outta here you dick suckin troll asseolus! Why are you constantly here?
because his keyboard makes him feel big, when in reality he is 2ft tall with a 2mm penis
go on do it
i know right! Psvita, handheld / wii u game pad, CONTROLLER
WiiU controller = zero latency. That is something Sony cannot compete with. So why are we even wasting time on this topic. Damn the Wii U is not even out yet and Sony already feeling the heat.
There trying to confuse the consumer about wii u, convincing them that its an add on to the wii with a new screen. the vita can do the ps3 to vita thing. pony will learn that the hard way.
i laugh at sony saying the wii -u gamepad has no processor of course it doesn’t its a controller you dumb shit the processor is in the wii-u unit and its stronger than a psvita and ps3 combined. all i have to say is 1080p/i sony bitches
glorious 1080p that PCs did a decade ago
wonder what you guys will say when Xbox Next/PS4 support 4k, LMAO.
We’ll say no way considering we would have to buy a $600 console and a $2000 Tv to go with our crappy $250 Vita junk.
The next xbox was leaked in a 56 page manifesto that MS lawyers pulled at the speed of light. Shows the console retailing at $300 with potential subsidized prices as well. So lolnope, your 2006 599 dollars meme won’t work here, fanboy.
Wow fag! Those were not facts.
If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t have pulled the document if it was fake. ;P
use your head.
Here’s a thought; maybe they pulled the document as to not confuse the market? You know, so they won’t expect a $300 system from MS?
You use your head now.
@nooblet Do explain how that’s going to confuse the market you fucking retard.
I wanna hear this shit.
In the same way that the Wii U rumours are making the MS fanboys get confused. They won’t be able to handle rumours about a weak NeXtBox.
That was a Microsoft’s Tablet.
It’s called Microsoft Surface.
It has nothing to do with any console.
Really? Kinect 2, Native 3D, AR, and being codenamed Xbox 720 has to do with that Microsoft Surface tablet? LOL, Looks like you’re out of the zone here.
You sir must be in a depressed state of mind for years for not being able to handle N’s successes. And you will continue being depressed for it’s never going away, keep dreaming homie :)
Exactly! What TVs even support 4k anyway? None I know if in Australia, no matter how much you’re willing to pay.
Damage control and missing the point entirely. 1080p will be nothing starting this year with that 4k OLED TV LG will release that competitors will undoubtedly come up with their own versions. And eventually the newer consoles will easily be able to support it.
Oh boy. Who doesn’t want a TV w/ a super-high resolution that you’ll never notice unless you either put your face next to it or be own a wide-ass TV AND will cost thousands of dollars?!
>”That you’ll never notice(…)”
Confirmed, you have never gotten outside, nor have you ever seen one in person. You sir, are a fucking idiot. Also, HDTVs were “thousands of dollars” years ago as well. So…what happened when the prices deteriorated to the point anyone can buy it?
I never said that you won’t notice it. I said that the average consumer won’t notice it, unless you own a large enough TV screen of course or sit like 4 feet away from it.
The average consumer will notice it. The average consumers will be used to either SDTVs or cheap HDTVs. 4K is a glaring IN YOUR FACE difference when you see it in motion. Regardless of the size.
Actually size does matter. Are you seriously trying to tell me that two screens w/ the same resolution but different sizes are going to look equal?
LOL. You dumbass. Does consoles will cost 1000+$ and nobody will buy them if they will support 4k. Plus, nobody owns a TV that can support that resolution, so it’s a 100 % waste.
*These consoles
Care to explain why. I don’t think you know anything about pricing, and PCs can already support the resolution for far cheaper.
So go on, enlighten us.
wait i dont remember pcs having 1080p in 2002
that didnt happen idiot
Uhm yes they did, you fucking retard. You don’t know shit about PCs.
Well it fuckih didn’t
pc’s did not have 1080p in 2002
maybe before trolling actually try and make sure your facts are atleast somewhat believable
So, prove me wrong then. You say it can’t, so prove it.
hi there your wrong wii u has 2 cpus a tri core for console and tablet gets its own cpu
That’s funny. I would have baught a Vita already, but wait..where are the games that are actually worth buying?? What good is a bad ass system if there aren’t a variety of bad ass games??

The problem is most of those games I can already buy on other consoles so why should I play on that tiny screen when I can already play on my 52″ tv
60% ports, 30% shovelware and only 10% games worth buy. Nice try, fanboy.
Point out the “60% ports”. Show me your math skills right here, right now.
30% shovelware? Okay…so why are the “Shovelware the ones with either A: the most downloads and high metacritic averages or B: Free and have decent gameplay *Motorstorm RC*. Again point them out, fatass.
OH WAIT, YOU CAN’T.
Give him time. Anyway, back to the petty insults?
‘Fatass’
Wow… Unoriginal.
He won’t explain anything, he’s a blatant Nintendo fatshit fanboy. Probably like yourself.
‘Fatshit’
See, you’re doing it again. Also, you’re quite plainly a Sony fanboy – so that second insult won’t work either. You’re getting boring now.
Your mother got boring in my bed so I tossed her out of the house. Oh by the way, she left her panties there, care to pick it up?
PS Vita is dead on arrival. Everybody knows that. Games for PSV are getting cancelled and games are developed for 3DS and PSP, not 3DS and Vita. That says everything. Remember this E3 ? They announced 60 titles but they didnt even show ten of those. Last but not least: the number of sales. 3DS is sold 5x higher than the Vita and all they can say ” look at the success of the 3DS, people still want portable consoles”. When youre only point is that the opponents device is succesful, you failed.
List all of these cancelled games.
And are you…stupid? Announcing them doesn’t mean they have to show them you dumbfuck.
Last but not least, year old handheld sells more than fairly new one due to a massive price drop in fear of said new handheld.
Get. Out…lol.
‘In fear of said handheld’
No. The price drop was to crush said handheld, not to compete. And look how well they did.
No, it was fear. The 3DS stood no chance and they knew it. Nor was it printing money like they expected it to. You’re an idiot if you think that was a strategic move. Massive drop to screw over adopters mere months after release and conveniently after the Vita’s price revelation?
Stop bullshitting yourself.
But isn’t it funny how the 3DS sold better when it was priced at $250 than how the VITA is currently doing?
Ouch. Aeolus is hurt.
Ouch, someone fucken’ told and can’t cover his tracks.
New handheld, and people are probably expecting the Vita to drop the price too at launch.
Do you ever think? Or do you just reply to say “oh I replied to defend nintendo hurr durr!11”?
Because holy shit, there are fucktons of simple answers to your stupid questions.
So what you’re telling me is that people STILL expect a price-drop on the VITA? XD Yeah,,,uh huh. I’m sorry but Sony is already selling the VITA at a loss as it is, why would they lower the price when it’s barely half a year old?
If you need to be told that, you must not visit many gaming forums where many vita threads have users in fear of a price drop, or anticipating a price drop for either: the system, or the memory cards.
You want be remembered as a troll, dont you? Why not as a person worth listening, well anyways lets pick out something:
“Last but not least, year old handheld sells more than fairly new one due to a massive price drop in fear of said new handheld.”
That would mean DS is outselling 3DS and Vita, XBOX360 Wii and PS3 . Yeah, you see where your logic leads us…
Fun fact : You just had admit that PSV is outsold by the 3DS.
“That would mean DS is outselling 3DS and Vita, XBOX360 Wii and PS3 . Yeah, you see where your logic leads us…”
Uhm, outselling is clearly implying weekly/monthly sales, not overall you illiterate piece of shit. Your logic is as stupid as the rest of your comment, which I will now use my caps lock to address:
Fun -question-: WHO THE FUCK DOESN’T KNOW IT’S BEING OUTSOLD BY IT? HOW THE FUCK IS THAT A FUN FACT EVERYONE FUCKING KNOWS? WHAT DID YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH BY SAYING THIS “FUN FACT”?
Holy motherfuck you’re ridiculously dimwitted.
None of those games sound even remotely fun you fucking Sony fag… I hope someday you get raped and killed you white piece of trash… unlike you I give all consoles a fucking chance… you give true sony fans a bad name. I wish I could find you and beat you bloody kid… your such a fucking goddamn hard ass you seem like you can take anyone I bet.. well I would shove my fist down your throat. And that “n” word comment makes your ignorant as fuck too. pray to god you never see me in real life you racist biased prick.. NOW GET OF THIS FUCKING SITE!
and thats for that aeolus kid
thats for aeolus
None of those games sound even remotely fun you fucking Sony fag…
Core gamers have thoroughly disagreed with you when they saw that montage, Nintenbots are writhing in agony because 3DS don’t get the big name hardcore games and just has more of the same casual DS shit like Professor fucking layton, Nintendogs and stupid kiddy digital shit. Lmfao.
U in full denial, loser?
heres the problem though… this article is about wii u and vita not vita and 3ds. You would know that 3DS isnt supposed to be hardcore system and as a nintendo fan I know and fully admit it 100% true
Aeolus- Unless you were born in the 90’s you DO NOT KNOW TRUE CORE GAMING unless you pick up a NES or even an SNES.. also before you go bash nintendo I have one question….
If sony is your god you worship why didnt they save the video game industry? You should be kissing the ground nintendo walks on cause unlike you who will never see the full 100% truth… nintendo saved the day and got us out of the video game depression. Now I dare you to try to make a comeback with those facts.
oh and I don’t want to hear the answers: “that people who played Nintendo back in the day were faggots” or “COD wasn’t out yet.”
Hi im ae
You don’t know shit about me, so this reply is an utter waste and serves to fully show a reminder how stupid Nintendo fanboys are.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution
…So, with the 720 coming out in what we’re guessing 2014 or 2013, I’m loving the price on those currently released 4k T.V.s. $11,730, and $500,000 respectively. I wonder, in these times, who’ll be able to buy one of those just for the next xbox…
Typical troll trying his absolute hardest without posting, or giving any kind of factual information with reliable sources.
The next generation of consoles will still be at 1080p, and will be just stronger. Troll harder.
WARNING!!!!!!! This site is 70% trolling by our reoccurring troll. He has dedicated about half an hour commenting convincing you that his opinions are facts. Let’s give him a round of applause for him spending hours on this website knowing he care enough for coming here regularly .
In a recent article on Flipboard the PS vita was consider a superior system to the Wii U. I have tried the Wii U at the New York Comic-Con and i’ll tell you it sucks. The PS vita is a portable system. You can’t fit the Wii U in your pocket and the PS Vita is 3G and has WiFi. It is a portable game system, the Wii U is not. Maybe in the house yeah but outside, no. In addition the PS vita processor has been considered a super computer. The Wii U has a processor sure but nothing like the Vita’s. Nintendo’s buzz about the Wii U has died within the first two months after its release. In addition Nintendo aimed for a younger audience (5-15) will PlayStation aimed for several different age groups. Children, teens, young adults. Sure your parents will play the Wii U with you sometimes but they are not going to go out a buy one for themselves. The Wii U was a copy off of the PS Vita but it has to be bought with the “special Wii” too. With the Vita you can instantly connect it to the PS3. In early rumors many Nintendo fans were confused if it were an add-on to their Wii or if they had to buy an entirely new one. With confirmed facts from Nintendo many became disappointed. Sure i love Nintendo, it was like your kindergarten best fiend but eventually those friends become to babyish for you or die. As soon as Nintendo released the Wii they had signed their suicide note and were on the road for death. Though i wish i had some Nintendo games for the Vita they Vita is still great. It includes dual analog controllers, L and R triggers, a touchscreen, a back touch pad (not found in any other device in the market), a front and rear camera, six axis motion sensor, GPS, cross-play (for Vita and PS3), an OLED screen, cross pad, and their signature triangle/circle/cross/square buttons. Though the Vita might not be the fanciest or greatest game system it sure does surpass the Wii U. Nintendo release the Wii U in an desperate attempt to save themselves after a drop with the Wii six years before than the 3DS two years ago. I understand some of you are hardcore Nintendo fans i i didn’t mean for you to cry and wet your pants but you have to come to the realization that Nintendo sucks. !0, twenty years ago they were at the top of the food chain or game chain but this is 2013. they are DEAD. Nintendo takes too long to come out with anything new and longer for anything good enough to buy and be proud of. PlayStation released the Vita in late ’11 and plans to release the PS4 in late ’13/early ’14. It took six years for the Wii to come out (and don’t say “well they released the DS lite” those were just modified versions of the DS). It is only a matter of time before Nintendo files for bankruptcy or gets bought out. Sorry to kill your dreams but Nintendo is dead baby.

the wii u is way better more games way better games sane games as ps3 and xbox the ps vitas games are weak I have one and am getting the wii u
*facepalm*
Sony! LICK MY NUTTS!
The key word here is “tries.”
And the rest of the sentence was cut off which is “and fails”.
“That Wii U tablet doesn’t have a processor in it, so it’s got to be fueled by that box sitting under your TV.”
what is negative about this detail
it’s just a sentence
woodnotes #8 42 minutes ago
When every PS3 comes with a Vita, then he might have a valid argument.
this guy is right
the Tablet got better resolution, polygonshit, 60FPS, Better textures 480-720pHD what else ?, Also does vita got gyro and other sensors Wii U got ? WTF Sony, deal it with Sony. Also are we going to buy a $250 piece of shit with no games if you can buy a $400 console with tablet and capable of playing together with other 3 people.

The tablet does not have better resolution. The tablet is standard def and the Vita is high def (540p in gameplay; 720p everything else).
Vita has gyroscopes, accelerometers, based on PS3 Sixaxis.
There, I just schooled all of your rambling…also lol, did you just use “60 fps” as a feature as if it’s exclusive or something??? My guess is you don’t have the slightest clue about what you’re talking about.
The only problem I see with tuning the vita as a controller is there is a slight lag between them as in the tv will show the gameplay before the vita. An issue which isn’t there with the wiiU which can be seen in an article that it processes the image faster than its displayed on a tv. Which proves there is no problem. Sony is just worried in my opinion and with them losing money for ages they admitingly are
That latency issue probably surfaces because Remote Play hasn’t technically been enabled yet. Just hacking it will force games to do so, and you’ll find many of them not even being remotely playable *pun intended* due to either lag or input issues. Just try to play GTA 4, it’s a living hell. My guess is Sony will only allow it to be enabled on newer games or tweak the software, idk.
Holy shit, shut the fuck up already, you annoying brat. Do something more productive with your time!
amen to that. there’s also the issue of price that was conveniently left out of sony’s argument. funny how they leave out the negatives about their own product to make it seem like a superior choice
He just put his foot in his mouth big time… The vita has a processor and it can’t render images that come even close to the wii u game pad and that is without it being connected to a ps3. The wii u can render gorgeous images on pad and screen at the same time all from the wii u’s processor. That kinda puts a damper on his argument.
sony is scared of nintendo thats why there bashing them the system isnt even out yet and there saying dont buy it.
Who says it “can’t”…? You do realize it’s the CONSOLE doing all of the work, right?
So, if PS4 manages to reduce the latency to a bare minimum, what will be your excuse then? Technically, Remote Play hasn’t even been fully functional with the majority of PS3 games to begin with.
I have to say, you are the most notorious fanboy ever. I hope Sony hires you even because you are so optimistic about them. Just don’t work for the Vita dept., it’s not doing too well and might be abandoned soon.
‘reduce the latency to a bare minimum’
How can you improve on 0?
Which one costs more overall to get the full experience though?
/thread
The WiiU hasn’t been given a Retail Price, so yes
/thread
I’m sure the Wii u wont cost 300 + 250-300 dollars
oh thank God :) i really thought it was.
you must work for nintendo, Correct?
if you honestly believe that the Wii U will cost the same as PS3+PSV then you obviously know nothing about nintendo. their strategy with the Wii U was to be able to give great gaming experiences at a fair price, so believing it will cost $500+ is out-and-out stupidity
I don’t but worst things have happend, and people need to let nintendo tell us the info and not speak for then, specialy with no facts.
Shopto in the uk have a price of £280 on their site which converts to $440 BUT stuff over here is priced a lot higher than in US. Ign were saying it would probably be $350. I don’t we will see a price as high as ps3 when it launched
the big question is who would you most trust to look after your kids? that evil sony guy (whatever the f his his name is, i dont really care) would make ya kid work the mines all day then spend the whole night practicing violin. Reggie would pull out the inflatable pool, build a go-cart and buy ice-cream.
i bet that sony fag drives a douchebag porsche, gets sake/coke messy and sleeps around with whores while his kids and wife are left at home missing him.
ill go with reggie, beside he has kids of his own u know.
isnt that what Micheal Jackson did..invited kids to spend the night and buy them shit..u sick lil f@cks
I can understand if they’re basing the 3DS. But the Wii U? WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Let me clarify that. I mean comparing, not necessarily bashing.
You mean copying, not necessarily bashing.
hahahaha The title is hilarious! Sony fails lol
i have a feeling that sony i mean pony is scared of big N, usually is the other way around, lol.
Really? What can the separate processor even provide in terms of how you play a game?
I’m actually saying this in terms of the Wii U. It’s not a setback at all and it makes it so that the controller isn’t overpriced.
It would let you take the gamepad more than 20 feet away. More or less make it portable.
But the whole point of the gamepad is it’s supposed to be a controller not a portable system (that’s a job for the 3ds)
^^^^^yup ^^^^
Thus utterly stupid considering the majority of households have multiple TVs and being confined to your house to stream is just retard mode.
It’s not a portable it’s a controller. The gamepad is supposed to be like the ps3 and 360 controllers not a portable like the 3ds or vita. Do you play with your ps3 controller without the actual console in the room? No.
So why do I need the images streamed to it if I do? You just PROVED my point.
Maybe the TV your system is connected to is currently in use, genius? I know that happens a lot for me.
It never happens to me. Unless you guys are in infested households and don’t have your own rooms or TVs. Then maybe I can see where you’re going with this.
Nope. 3 TVs, and 4 people in the house. Generally, two TVs are on at the same time – the third is a bit… Yeah.
I’m in a household of four and have about five TVs throughout it, so this is a non-issue in my case. Looks like I’ll be buying the Pro controller assuming most of the core games supports it.
I agree that streamingto the controller seems pretty pointless if you have access to the tv, but again that’s just one selling point of the wiiu. The bigger selling point is that you can use the tv and controller together to have all new ways to play hence games like nitnendoland(despite it being a minigame collection it really does show nitendos vision well) or zombiu where you use the controller for a variety of things. You see the tv and controller were meant to work together not apart.
Probably, but that kind of thing may turn out to be a fad that grows old quick. I personally don’t want every game being overly reliant on the controller for things.
I have a vita and it is awesome but what’s this guys point? Remote play on the vita sucks.. In order to do remote play you need a ps3 you know that box under the tv.
+1
yes the vita is an amazing handheld, but comparing it to a console, is just…. just…. (shm)
+2 it is a powerful handheld but pony does not know how to use it for there handheld, imaging what Nintendo can do with that kind of power on there handheld.
Remote Play hasn’t even been fully enabled yet.
That’s a problem.
Nope, it’s a non-issue right now. And ultimately won’t affect the handheld in a long run.
It will be this summer. Shame it has taken this long though.
and wii u still manages to create better experiences
Right on!
Let us leave that argument for when the system actually comes out.
Sure… and that’s why why you can use the Gamepad while the Wii U is turned off.
Yes, but it’s limited until you turn the Wii U on.
But the point is it can be independent depending on what you do
I can honestly say I hate Sony with a passion
me too Razor. me too
Just shows how of much a loser you are and how fucked you are in te head to “hate” a game company “with a passion”.
You pathetic little nerds are an utter disgrace.
Agree.
you agree, yet you’ve been hating on a company with a passion in nearly all your comments
1+
Also, that fucking Drone agreed to his own comment.
don’t fool your self lol.
+100000000
So you admit that you’re a loser w/ no life? Great! It looks like we’re all on the same page.
That would apply to yourself, you’re the only faggot who defends everything for Nintendo like it’s your religion. Go outside and talk to girls you little virgin.
And your the only faggot who goes against everything Nintendo does like it’s your religion.
You’re*. Learn grammar, dipshit.
One in almost 1000 words isn’t bad. Seriously, you can’t claim that I’m a dipshit for a simple grammar mistake. And if you claim you can, then Sony are also dipshits for failing with the PS3 and Vita.
Umm…who’s the one who wastes his life trolling an obscure Nintendo site?
Says the brat who keeps spamming the comment sections with rage comments.
You just agreed that you are a brat! What a piece of shit you are! LOL!
u are not alone friend.
Although I own a PlayStation 3, but I truly hate Sony for being freakin’ douchebags… especially comparing a portable Titanic to a Wii U Game Pad controller.
there first class jacckass if u ask mii.
Then that means that the Vita is superior to the PS3 because the Dualshock 3 doesn’t have a processor either. The gamepad is a fancy controller, and this just makes Sony look childish. The only consoles where the controller has a processor are handhelds, which is not what the Wii U is. This is like comparing comparing the PSP to the PS3, and saying that the PSP has superior hardware.
OH MY GOD, SONY THINKS THEIR PRODUCT IS BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION. CALL THE PRESSES, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
thats why sony sucks
sickr didn’t make that post…
I could have sworn that I made this post as a reply to someone… lol
Yeah, it got deleted.
but the wii U pad already does more then vita and there still are unnanounced features
thats the thing that boggles me, Nintendo keeps saying that they haven’t announced all features, but they keep reiterating the same old ones.
Nintendo doesn’t want to annouce all the new features yet. Because there are some haters out there waiting to copy it.
There is a certain company out there that is waiting for them to announce these new features so they can copy them and put them on their next console though I’m not naming names.
u got to look at it from a competition perceptive.
but the wii U pad already does more then vita and there still are unnanounced features
>wii u pad does more than Vita
Really?
Does it have Wi-fi?
3G?
Quad core GPU/CPU?
Completely Independent processing?
qHD, Multitouch OLED display?
If no to any of these *and yes, these are all a no*, then it does not remotely touch the Vita or threaten that device in any possible aspect. Notice, you said “pad”, so don’t pull shit to weasel out what you said.
Why would a CONTROLLER need ANY of those? You’re trying to compare a handheld to a CONTROLLER? A handheld should be EXPECTED to do more than a controller. If it couldn’t, that would be PATHETIC.
Yet he says it did more and I proved him wrong. Shut the fuck up.
Okay, now to look at the actual console.
Nobody is talking about the console.
I don’t have to STFU because you’re bringing up things that wouldn’t benefit a CONTROLLER in anyway like 3G, WiFi, GPU/CPU, etc. Why would a CONTROLLER need those when the home console is busy doing all the work?
This question is irrelevant, I proved him wrong using the cold facts and nothing else you say is going to change that, retard. Stop trying to form a case, when there is nothing left to present at it.
No, you’re bringing up shit that won’t benefit a controller. You expect a controller to require a fucking GPU/CPU? Are you that dense?
You didn’t prove shit. You only proved what it had more of, not what more it could do.
Your literacy skills are embarrassingly terrible. Hope your parents don’t waste their money on your tuition.
So instead of trying to debate with you, you poke fun at how literate I am? Looks like you already lost.
You didn’t prove anyone wrong. All you talked about is the hardware in the VITA and compared it to what’s inside the Wii-U GamePad. Again, you didn’t prove what features the VITA is capable of that’s not on the Wii-U GamePad.
I JUST FUCKING DID. IT’S RIGHT IN YOUR DAMN FACE.
Those are all FEATURES. Those are not PRESENT on the GODDAMN pad.
Why are you so freaking STUPID?
You didn’t even prove jack shit, Amir Stuart! Quit jerking off and get over it!
No they’re not. Last time I checked, a GPU/CPU isn’t a feature. That’s a piece of hardware.
but……the gamepad its a controller and the ps vita its a seperate handheld, a controller competing with a handheld. dont you think its a little stupid?
Nobody on the face of the Earth said Vita was competing with it. They said it can do what the Wii U can do, and it can indeed do so.
‘Tries to explain why Vita is better than Wii U Gamepad’
Hmm… So, they’re trying to make the Vita sound better than Wii U but they’re NOT competing? Course.
If your literacy skills suck so much to interpret that statement as “competing”, then maybe you should restart high school.
They made a straightforward and factual statement, the whole controller concept can be done by the Vita and far more effectively due to wi-fi; They’ve said nothing, and I mean nothing else, that implies a future competition with features. They have better than things to do than waste their time on the most irrelevant company for core gamers anyway.
Aeolus- How many people actually use the vita with 3g? Only people with AT&T and AT&T sucks ass! If it was for verizon then the vita would have better internet.
verizon > at&t
I don’t see any point in restarting highschool when I only started recently. Anyway, going by your logic, it also makes sense to compare Phones to Social Networking. They’re not in competition but one is better than the other. Why, then, would Sony bother to go out there and say this? They’ve got nothing to gain.
Nothing to gain; but pointing out that is nothing terribly special or unique.
The title of this article is the writer’s opinion and not a quote from anyone at Sony.
Why do you need 3G if the Wii U is a HOME CONSOLE why does it NEED to have independent processing if it is just a controller.
*unannounced
“Learn grammar, dipshit.”
Sure, this is more a matter of spelling, but the point remains. We call this karma, Aeolus. Also, the ‘but’ should have a capital letter. You did go to school, didn’t you?
PS Vita and the 3DS are gaming systems. The Wii U Gamepad is not. How can he try to compare them? What a dolt!
He is comparing the concept of streaming games to a touch based device. In which case, it can be compared…until Sony actually starts to enable the damn feature on the Vita rather than have a mediocre solution in hacking the PS3 for half-assed performance on the games.
Psvita remote play sucks, its been like 5 months and it only can support 4 ps3 games…. And Aeolus go outside and meet new friends its obviously that you’re pretty fat and ugly to make soo many comments on this site
“its obviously” that you dropped out of primary school and are currently typing this from your dungeo–I mean basement.
sony: ERMEGERD IZ ER PRDERCT! FERCK NINTENDERR!
Hey einstein (sony)
I just want to let you know that the vita is flopping pretty hard. Its flopping so hard that even slippy can do better than the vita. Please listen to your fans and cut the price. Of course you won’t cos your greedy fucks and want to suck the life out of your remaining fanbase who think sony r all that but clearly lost it after ps2.
Trolls don’t bother commenting or you will get a barrel rolling falcon punch to the ovaries.
Time to play some 3ds by the king of handheld gaming. Nintendo. I game on da wii and ps3 btw and the vita is a fucking fail of an idea. Ps3 is good but a let down in many departments especially exclusives. No I don’t like unchartered guys so I don’t give a flying peppy hare. Give me nintendo ips anyday. A breath of fresh air in a market of violence and braindead fanboys who pat themselves on the back for getting a headshot. Well done want a star fox medal eiiiiinstein??!
Youve obviously never even given the vita a try smh, The 3ds is awesone in its own way, just like the vita is aswell, Give me Zelda for my 3ds, and Gravity Rush for my vita. Smash For my Wii, Gears of War for my 360, and Uncharted for my Ps3.
I do agree that sony got greedy after the Ps2 (more like Cocky) but its funny that you say that the market is filled with violent games when the casual Market has been catered to the most with shit shovelware, and non violent games.
Nintendo is the only company of the big 3 that won’t sell a console for a loss, Microsoft did and Sony is right now.
So realistically, Nintendo are the greedy ones.
Where did you get that information from, Winnie… out of your ass?
They’re selling the 3ds at a loss, aren’t they?
Not anymore, I think it was announced earlier this year that their breaking even now. (which goes to show you how much the 3DS was marked up) the Vita is still being sold at a loss (correct me if I’m wrong though)
Ahh, you might be right about that! I do remember reading something along those lines.
http://mynintendonews.com/2012/01/27/the-nintendo-3ds-will-be-profitable-from-april/
The wonders of a search function~
i though they said september they will earn profit or something, idk.
It’s still being sold at a loss. They said it won’t be profitable until September. As for why nintendo won’t sell things at a loss it is because they can’t. Microsoft could sell thr 360 at a loss and make up for it in pc sales, Sony could sell ps3 for a loss and make up for it in tv, blue ray player, movie sales. Nintendo has games and games alone to make a profit on.
Wait.. What???? Sony has their TV to profit from? Are you shitting on me, they havent profited with their tv division for 5 years now. Basically, their whole entertaining division is kind of a let down these RECENT days. Their most successful area are Financial Services lately. They cannot rely on other divisions right now, they don’t profit. Search it up on the internet, it’s true. Sony is getting seriously hurt by selling at loss, that’s why they cannot lower the price of Vita anytime soon.
Nintendo is sitting on a huge pile of money, they can fail this last generation as much as they can, and they would still have money to come up with another generation of video games…
I don’t think a company which still has a higher market cap overall $180 billion USD, is in that much of a sweat over a relatively frightening, but still pocket change 6 billion loss.
The same can be said for any company in the latter, btw. SCE is doing very fine and is the most profitable part of Sony.
Ya I know about their whole tv thing. That’s sony’s fault for being so arrogant and overpricing their crappy tvs. All I’m saying is that Sony has other businesses to fall back on (or at least cushion the blow) while nintendo only has games. I find it funny though that nitendo and Sony have around the same net worth. Sony used to be worth over $100 billion now that’s been reduced to 17 billion. Nintendo is worth around $7 billion. The tables are turning on sony and they Gota do something fast if they want to survive.
I don’t know where the shit you got that 17 billion from, bro. You must be talking about SCE, if their entire corporation was worth that much, they’d collapse on the spot, lol.
Ignwroteanarticleaboutitafewmonthsagossoitsoit’shardfacts.
>IGN
either you misread it, or they’re solely talking about SCE.
lol, like a $1 loss was doing anything after the 3 million orso units sold at a whopping $250 when the product costs $101 to manufacture.
Here is a hint why N are making a profit. They make great games (in general) and great consoles. Even wii had some amazing games. Mainly first party
Wii Fit is a great game?
The casual fuckfest in the top selling Wii titles excluding SMG/SSBB are “Great games”???
It isn’t necessarily a “good” game, but it was aimed at the casual audience. And the casual audience is much wider than the hardcore one. But what bothers me the most is how Wii didn’t have as much “great” games as the Gamecube…
Wait, he was talking about Wii Fit? I thought he was talking about the great games in general – you know, like SMG (1/2) and TLoZ SS. Since he didn’t exactly ever say Wii Fit was good?
If that’s how it works for Wii, then I guess Kinect is shit due to Kinectimals?
Kinect -is- shit, full of shovelware and HD versions of Wii party titles. Don’t know why you feel the need to bring it up.
The Wii has very few “truly great” games anyway.
Yet Microsoft charge for their online and yet you need to buy an optional accessory for a dedicated gaming device which Range from $26-115AUS just to play.
No, that makes them smart. Cuz what kind of a moron would actually think that selling at a loss is a good idea?
What, just cuz everyone else does it?
You like jumping off bridges just because everyone else is doing it too?
Makes them smart as a business. Not smart as one with a loyal fanbase demanding core games rather than easy to sell shovelware.
There’s a big difference here.
“Ps3 is good but a let down in many departments especially exclusives”
Well, we’re all entitled to our own opinions, but PS3 has some of the highest rated exclusives out there and they’re not all about “getting a headshot.” This goes for both the huge catalog of downloadable games and retail.
Also, the fact that you are closed to any discussion proves that you are yourself a close-minded troll. Sony is a business and therefore make business decisions. They’re not going to just drop a price of something because some people want a price drop. I’m sure people want it free too, should they make things free just because we want it that way? No.
You talk about fanboys but you are obviously a fanboy and I really question that you play on anything else.
You make the real gamers proud.
I will however continue my assault against fanboys with a taste of their own medicine.
Don’t act as if you’re a real gamer when you waste your time on an obscure Nintendo website.
as a troll
Pingback: Wii U Discussion/Speculation Thread - Page 196 - Nintendo 3DS Forums
Sony need to learn to shut their mouths sometimes and just accept the fact they can’t keep up hardware sales against Nintendo.
Sooooo Sony trying to compare an actual system over a game-pad? LOL Sony…
just what I thought
sony: the vita can beat the wiiu’s controller.
random person: can it beat the console itself?
sony:…………………no.
random person: can the ps3 beat the console?
sony: YES THE PS3 IS AWESOMER!
random person: do you have any proof?
sony: YEAH WE COMPARED THEM!
random person: did you compare piece by piece?
sony: general tech specs.
random person:sooo, you have no proof?
sony: no. but ps3 is still better.
random person: why?
sony: ITS NOT CHILDISH! SO THE PS3 IS BETTER.
now that i typed this it sounds more like someone asking a fanboy. but you get the jist of it.
btw i’m sony and nintendo fan.
No, you’re a Ninty fanboy, it got mad obvious near the end of what you said.
And you are a Sonydrone that needs something called REAL LIFE FRIENDS.
And you’re Jose Sanchez; an ugly fatshit of a geek who wears glasses and probably gets bullied on a daily basis because he knows he’d get fucked up in any other scenario without his precious keyboard and monitor.
Yeah, I can blow your cover easily.
I can also claim you’re someone of whom I made up, and claim your parents abandoned you when you were 3 due to you being so ugly.
Aeolus- I’ll save you the time and tell you that I’m Ryan Kirby and honestly I’m a nintendo fan (suck it) and I enjoy sports (track and lacrosse) more than being a hardcore gamer, I have LOTS of friends who I hangout with everyday and people who don’t make fun of me. oh and I ALSO FUCKING HATE COD and hope they burn in hell cause it’s for 10 year old faggots and of course you.. Why Nintendo is bringing it to Wii U i’ll never understand. there so now you know my life story. P.S. I’m not afraid to keep my name Hidden unlike some people
I bet your Amir Stuart aren’t you kid…. quit hiding behind the shadows and reveal yourself… Be a fucking man
You’re basically the living parody of a Nintendo fanboy and geek to boot. Why pretend that you suddenly hate their rehashed to death games and suddenly you “love them”. Sure is denial in here.
Software wins the argument for me.
And his point is? It’s not like the u pad is a handheld console, it’s a controller. If your controller needs a processor, you should seriously watch out it doesn’t end up costing 599 us dollars
Do explain why a processor in a controller would cost that much.
Please do, I’m curious to find out why high end PC gaming processor prices are in this equation, that or you’re just being incredibly unfunny.
Seriously man, I don´t want to insult anyone, especially on the internet, but I don´t know if you are a fanboy or a troll. You´ve been spouting hate comments around all these article. If you want to keep on trying to show that the Vita has god-like features and that crossplay is better than the Wii U functions, you don´t fucking do it in a site that´s called “Mynintendonews”
The concept for this has been in the works for years, and it´s going to be a whole different experience than what Sony will offer, just let it be and let your demons rest.
the above user is angry.
Not as angry as you are when you claim anyone that likes something as a ‘faggot’.
the above user is a faggot.
^^ your a goddamn faggot kid now shut the hell up before I announce a system call my fist in your face
Aeolus is stupid…… try a new sport and get a gf.
I congratulate your guessing capability. I am, in fact, a ball of chopped meat.
It’s funny because you used the same term earlier against me, covering your tracks and trying to be witty at it isn’t going to work so easily.
Indeed, I was upset by your intriguing behaviour, now with a cooler head I can tell you… your comments simply are out of place I come to the website to check on news, and baammm a wild fanboy appears. C´mon man, go to the PS blog or something if you want people that think like yopu, but here we just want to hear some news about the big N.
Ironically, on the PS blog/sites I attack the blatant Sony fanboys as well.
It will happen regardless of your company of choice.
Really? Then why are you here, treating the VITA like a godsend?
Hardware wise it is a true insight in the next generation of dedicated handhelds. The 3DS was not a true generational leap forward for that line of handhelds, and I’m not going to sugar coat that fact. 3D is and will remain a gimmick in every possibly scenario is shoehorned in.
The 3DS was a logical leap for the DS as the VITA was a logical leap for the PSP. “True” next-gen handheld? Don’t make me laugh. There’s no such thing as a “true” next-gen handheld
It also costs another 300-350, without an incredibly expensice memory chip (did my research on these things). Also, if you spend even more money you can get a 3g plan! So your handheld gives you a monthly bill! And its analogue sticks are pretty bad. You have to use the touch screen to navigate the menu, which I found very annoying (Only demoed so I don’t know if you can change it). Only way that it can even be considered better then the Wii U gamepad is you can take it out of your house and play a completely seperate portable game. Oh and the back touch pad…I guess, but I still yet to see any possible uses for this.
OH and I almost forgot how laggy the connection will be because of it having its own cpu, they have to connect wirelessly and communicate the game on two seperate CPUs. The Wii U was built as a mirror, so it is actually just a seperate display for the same screen it doesn’t lag because it doesn’t have to rework its programming to adjust to a weaker CPU. Or at least thats how I understand it.
250 for regular vita, and 299 for the 3g, (I don’t know where you got that 350 from lol.) and no you can’t change the way you navigate the menu (wich actually is really responsive) but a tad annoying. The data Plans are cheaper than the Iphone/Ipad ones. but yes they aren’t cheap either. I think its silly for them to compare a Handheld to an actual Home Console (even if its just the controller)
I went to the Sony store in an outlet mall and it was 350 for a 3G vita without a plan or a memory chip…
even the launch bundles are still 300 (with a free 8gb MC) at 350, that’s a rip off considering amazon has it at 280.
Sony store outlet?
lol, sounds like shit to me, or you’re in a different country or something. Maybe FEB bundle price.
*Snicker* Okay, there Sony. We believe you. Vita is SOOOOO much better than Wii U. If were not talking about price, software, hardware, practicality, and desire to own.
You forgot to add originality.
Considering the concept Sony had with remote play existed before the Wii U, looks like “originality” isn’t the term to use here.
And Sony took the idea of remote play from the gamecube/gameboy advance connectivity. Let’s face it, besides pretty graphics, Sony hasn’t really brought anything to the table in the way of innovation for videogames.
If you’re comparing remote play to that a feature that had next to no similarities to it, then you should be shot and killed for being an idiot. Sorry to say but, that’s an incredibly stupid thing to compare it to. I guess every device with a connectivity method to a console is “Remote Play” following your logic.
Well guess what? It isn’t.
If that’s your logic then I guess comparing a dedicated handheld to a console controller is even more stupid. And why are you insulting me I was only trying to point out the cold facts.
for one thing The Wii U will only cost around 300 bucks and a bundle of a vita & ps3 is roughly double the price and the only thing the vita really does is cross game save in order to use this feature you would have to own a ps3 and vita with the inclusion of two copies of the same game. I doubt the vita would even work as a controller for the ps3, for one thing there are no triggers and no clickable analogs, another thing to add is alot of games will be too powerful for the vita seeing as the vita playing games at full power is not even as strong as an xbox 360 so games that use the PS3’s power lightly will be able to use cross game saves if sony wants to use this feature as something common throughout their games alot of games will have to be downgraded so the Vita can handle it making cross game save much more possible but at the same not even all that similar to how the Wii U works.
Well, at least with the Wii U you won’t have to worry about 500 bucks (PS3 + Vita) and not have that style of play used (since the Wii U Pad is the controller and not a standalone $250 console.)
now that’s hilarious. comparing a handheld to a controller. sony must be desperate.
well duuh the 3DS nd Vita both are handle but the Wii U GamePad is a CONTROOOOOOOL!! sorry next time sony!
Its…like they still think the GamePad is a portable console…or maybe I’m missing something?
That picture look like their exchanging information.
that’s a sh#t argument
Only thing I don’t like about the Vita is the terrible little nipples they call analog sticks. Personally I was immediately turned off by them. Everything else seems fine except those bloody nipples. I may eventually get one if there is any compelling games, say a Final Fantasy 6 remake exclusively for the Vita. We all know if they would even make a remake it would be for the 3DS anyways.
Lol nippples!
Yeh ff6 is amazing. 3ds wud def get it. Vita is not selling very well compared to 3ds so developrs are getting more and more put off with vita.
Shame reallybut hey sony r greedy so they will get burnt badly
“Vita is not selling very well compared to 3ds so developrs are getting more and more put off with vita.”
Is that why the biggest third parties are onboard the Vita and NOT on the 3DS?
Is that why Assassins Creed was cancelled on the 3DS, yet built from the ground up for the Vita?
Is that why the 3DS is missing out on Criterion’s NFS MW, and not making a 3DS version?
err derped on the last line, I meant they’re making a Vita version*
not playing favorites but dude lets be honest. Vita ain’t doin so hot. they may be on board now but if we’re gonna go with the whole not on nintendo argument, the argument goes both ways. you can say third party left cause the wii wasn’t as powerful or appealed to their audience. vita not sellin too hot, means not many games gonna sell too hot which means not good in the eyes of third party devs, which means may leave developing for vita. oh well at the end of the day it’s a video game yo.
The system is 6 months old; 4 in western countries. Enough of this overused, beaten to death “Not doing well” horseshit, the PS1, PS2 and PS3 were similarly
not doing well at launch/launch window either. In fact, no Sony console has took off in an instant.
Anything towards the contrary will remain invalid until the system is a year old.
But the Vita is doing REALLY badly compared to the PS1/2/3.
Not really, you’re blowing it out of proportion far too early. It took a full year for any of the mentioned systems to get somewhere noteworthy. The system has crossed the 2m mark, which by comparison in the same months, the 3DS was just shy of 4 million.
i love nipples too. lol
they have a hard time now days trying to beat nintendo first ps3 wii then move wii mote then vita 3ds now vita vs wii u whats funny is why is it sony never utilize there hardware but always wana make clame how special it is
oh and i sold my vita because it just dosent appeal to me not bing a fanboy rite now but 3ds seems to be much more fun than vita cause all i used it for was movies
I like this idea of a Wii U Gamepad. I’m sorry, but if you have to take your Vita or controller, or whatever outside your home, then it’s pathetic.
Go pick up a baseball.
Can I TURN on the TV or PS3 with Vita? No
Can I SWITCH TV Screen into Vita and Back with out Remote Play? No
Can I View Info or switch tv to Vita while on Netflix? No
Wii U does all of this also Wii U doesn’t have a processors but it has better graphic than Vita.
The wiiu has processors the controller doesn’t
“Can I TURN on the TV or PS3 with Vita? No”
Yes. If you have an HDMI connection. I turn on my PS3 and my TV goes on. It also works the other way, if I turn on my TV and turn it to HDMI input 1, my PS3 turns on.
The rest of your arguments are pretty much daft anyway.
He meant to turn it on with just the Vita.
1: Do you need the TV while your console is on? Unless you’re trying to multitask a shitty sports game, then no.
so wait, they said that we’d be seeing some pretty special things at e3…….what happened to that? just because the vita has a processor in it, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have latency issues. seriously there’s more lag than using onlive.
Like they say the best are always bashed on and bashers are just asses.
instead of bashing on nintendo sony why don’t u make a better handheld games
sorry i mean better handheld

These are questions being asked by media outlets in which Sony gives an answer for.
Also, I don’t see any bashing.
The only thing you can do… At least with ps vita and ps3 remotely is play ps1 games… And while in remote play the ps3 doesn’t show game images so the ps vita and ps3 can’t touch what the wiiu can do… The wiiu and game pad can bout have images on at the same time the game pad can stream the game without delay according to people who had hands on… And the wiiu is more specifically made for the type of gaming it’s made for because it’s the whole package… Your don’t have to buy either the wiiu or gamepad separate

Ummm….I believe that’s exactly what is true about Wii U. Plus, will the Vita have top-notch Nintendo titles? I don’t think so. ;)
Yes. Both will have great titles. AAA. Top of the line. Play both and enjoy both.
I don’t care if the vita can suck me off like no other, i would never buy one, or anything from clony for that matter. id rather give money to al-qaeda. death to clony.
death to pony
I don’t like bony either, but they are good competition.
Lol xD Vita has a processor , yet the Wii U GamePad renders images faster. Its ok sony, vita might be cool, but just admit that your Remote Play doesn’t work that well.
Um, this is like saying the PSP is better than the Gamecube because the PSP is portable. >.< The Wii U isn't a handheld. :P
What’s going for the Vita: It’s both portable and plays PS3 games, whereas the 3DS won’t produce Wii U visuals and the Wii U Gamepad isn’t made to be played away from the console unit. There’s also multitouch, including the back panel, but when it comes to a control scheme including buttons that isn’t as necessary as it is on a smartphone or tablet.
The Wii U Gamepad’s advantages: The screen is bigger meaning it doesn’t have to squeeze as much in as the Vita screen; It interacts with the second screen in a way the Vita doesn’t; it comes with every console instead of requiring an additional $250 on top of the $200-250 for a PS3. All games are also suited for it vs. the Vita’s situation where a full action-adventure title with 30-minute play sessions isn’t necessarily suitable for portable play, an environment that better accommodates short-burst sessions.
I find all this sony bashing funny, and no the wii u gamepad is not a hd screen its a cheap sd screen and having processor in it means the games wont effect the frame rate like on the wii u my guess is none of you have looked into the facts.
sony would never be worth ‘looking into’.
If you think the Wii U Game Pad’s touchscreen isn’t HD, why the fuck is the aspect ratio of the Wii U’s touchscreen is 16:9 ? Wii U games in HD has the aspect ratio of 16:9… and the freaking touch screen on the Game Pad has (AS WELL!!!!) the aspect ratio of 16:9.
sorry my man, but you got that wrong, 16:9 doesnt mean hd, the Wii does 16:9. aspect ratio and resolution are different things. you can play an hd quality video on VLC in 4:3 if you wanted, for example
16:9 doesn’t imply HD, you dumbass. Wii’s max pixel size was 480p, WITH 16:9, yet it’s not HD at all.
You’re incredibly STUPID, LOL.
FUCK YOU, ANUS BREATH! You failed at comparing a portable shipwreck to a fucking controller, jackoff!
I am pretty sure that the wiiu gamepad won’t be HD but it doesn’t really need that. I have seen remote play being used on the vita and I can tell you one thing: it’s laggy as hell. It was so choppy that it wasn’t even worth using the vita. Another important aspect is the price. Let’s all be honest the wiiu isn’t going to be a powerhouse. No blue ray player, no internal harddrive this thing is probably going to cost around more or less $300. Compare that with the ps3 vita combo, where you would have to pay close to $500 to get both. Maybe you should be the one looking into the facts my friend :)
technically unreleased feature happens to be laggy on custom firmware ps3 games that the feature was never intended for
nice logic, makes plenty of sense to me.
Then in that case they shouldn’t be showing off the feature until a game that actually uses it correctly is realesed. When I saw the wiiu gameplay vids I saw everything being smoothly streamed to the controller and when I saw vita vids I saw a choppy mess. If a game that actually uses the remote play function right is realesed and is really well received then I’ll take back what I said, but at the moment sony’s got nothing to gloat about.
They could easily show it off if they pleased. They’re obviously getting prepared to properly launch the feature soon by saying stuff like this. They’ll probably sit back and wait for the Wii U just to see how it takes off before going about with it.
And remote play isn’t nearly as choppy as you say on some games. Sonic Generations ran practically laglessly when I used it on a friend’s 3.55 CFW PS3. The only thing was some slight latency issues here and there, but ultimately the game was playable as it was on the actual console.
I think somebody has a series of videos on YT that tests it out on some games. a few like GTA 4 are ridiculously laggy though.
Aeolus has a Fetish for Trolling
damn, sony are getting mouthy a fuk lately, they need a punch in the face.
with all this shit talk sony are basically saying that the WiiU is amazing and going to be an absolute must-buy, otherwise they wouldn’t be bitching like little brats. WiiU is obviously a massive threat to the competition. i cant wait to buy my WiiU day-one.
Wow. Comparing a dedicated tablet controller to a tablet-lite handheld instead of the competing handheld (the 3DS) and who’s to say the 3DS won’t able to function somehow as a controller with the Wii U? Aside from obvious graphical limitations I would think it’s possible. Sony’s just looking to bust Nintendo since they’re obviously already losing the handheld war by attacking something that isn’t even on the market yet. That just made them look SO weak and scared.
“Wii U tablet doesn’t have a processor in it”
WHO CARE ABOUT PROCESSOR UNIT……
IT REMIND MII OF SEGA AND BLAST PROCESSING.
Wow. Just… wow. Alright, so for one, there’s no comparison to be made. The Wii U isn’t a portable device. It just kinda… has an extra screen for some games. Though it is portable, it has a range it can go and relies on the console. The Vita obviously does not.
Honestly though, this is being blown up from nothing. Vita isn’t competing with Wii U, they basically said that the Wii U doesn’t worry them in terms of Vita sales. And with the lineup of games they’ve announced, it’ll pick up like the 3DS did. Quite frankly, I rarely touch my 3DS and can’t believe I cared to buy it. I don’t play it, it’s barely exciting, and they’ve yet to release that many great titles.
MK and ultimate MvC3 are the only reasons to own a vita and mlb
I have been alongside Nintendo since the beginning, but to hear that bologna about the Vita is really disturbing. I have a Vita, but I say the 3DS has more to offer unless the Vita can get that summer update under way.
This guy is talking out of his ass. The desperation these Sony guys have in trying to beat Nintendo is really pitiful. Just because the Vita has a processor and the Wii U controller doesn’t, doesn’t make for good responsiveness. If anything, the fact that the Gamepad doesn’t have a processor makes it much better, because as proven with the Jaguar, multiple processors don’t always work well. I mentioned this before, but the Gamepad’s symbiosis with the console is what makes their relationship much stronger than the flimsy, last-ditch relationship Sony threw together with their Vita and the PS3, which are both unrelated products from different periods of time. The reason why Sony boys are are so adamant to make their Vita act like it’s a better option than the Wii U is that they know they just got totally screwed over by the advent of the touchscreen gaming age, and they’re resorting to technicalities to try and get the upper hand. Unless they revamp their Vita to actually be better than the Wii U (and thus turn it into a controller and cause millions of deluded fans to re-rationalize why they will still worship Sony despite this possible overwhelming betrayal), it won’t go well for them.
They are two different devices. How can you compare one to the other?
Vita games are already better than 3ds ones. There is nothing on 3ds as good as Gravity Rush. Or even Hustle Kings. Sure Pushmo is amazing, and Mario stuff. Oh know… I NEED lego city..
OMG, LMAOOOOO.
I’m sorry. I can recognize when an argument has fair points in it, but this is totally fucking ridiculous and utterly hilarious. Nintendo must be in stitches after reading this shit.
that queer ass vita is for people with tech-fetishes and thats about it. that rear touchscreen is like im giving a reach-around and fondling r2d2s ball bags. ill pass on that fiddler shit.
Well i have a 3ds and vita i have 2 games for 3ds which is now covered in dust and 12 for vita, i know this is a nintendo site but still plus after all the lolz of nintendo saying Sony copied them with.move sony can say nintendo copied them espically as everyone forgets that the move was first shown off on the ps2 in 2002.
yeah sure man, thatll make buy a vita HAHAHAHA
Um no, no it wasn’t. The eye toy may have been shown off but that pos wasn’t worth the plast it was made of.
Here you go move been shown off using n eyetoy in 2002 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isHJAyCICw4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
But due to the ps2 lack of ram sony decided.to wait till next.gen.for 1:1 movements
Let’s see Aeolus try, and fail, to defend this. It’ll give me a good laugh.
he usually appears when its bad news only on Nintendo not Sony, he has no guts to say bs on nintendo when this sony drone got buttrape.
What’s there to defend; he’s completely correct.
People are not confined to their houses (with range) with the Vita like they are with Wii U.
I can access my PS3 and (most) of it’s content from the other side of the world with it. Let’s see Wii U do that, owait.
I find it funny how you and Sony are comparing the Shita to a controller… SMH…
3DS,Wii U, Wii U Game Pad > Psshita, ps3
the names you guys come up with, i swear
just call it the Vita, jeez
SHITA!!! Hilarous I want to work at Sony name their next Handheld Shita to embarrass them and then work for Nintendo. Just in case someone wants to make fun of me I am a Nintendo Fanboy. I’m geeky and like Anime my fave is Hetalia. I’m kind of fat but my friends don’t want me to lose weight and they force me to eat (they literally tied me up and fed me) My friends arecrazy and geeky too.
Of course they’re not. The Wii-U is a home console while the VITA is a handheld. See the difference? One is a HOME console and the other is a HANDHELD. Gee, I wonder why I can’t take a HOME console with me while I play on the go? Can it be because it’s MEANT to be confined in my home?
And that’s the point they’re trying to make on why it’s better. You stream on the go, not within your house.
An advantage right in your eyes, and nobody likes to hear the bitter truth. And stop capitalizing words, it looks stupid and idiotic.
Sony supports having an outside life, where you don’t need to be 30 feet from a console to access your device and continue playing if need be. With 3G or wi-fi networks, be on the go and continue your adventure with a real gaming experience™.
So does Nintendo. Hence why they make handhelds. Now say it with me, handhelds. Now what’s a handheld? A game system you can play on the go. The Wii-U is what? A home console. Now repeat after me, home console. Now, what’s a home console? A gaming system that you can only play at home.
No, I’m capitalizing it because I’m pointing out how stupid your arguments are. Of course you can take a handheld with you on the go, it’s a feature that’s been in handhelds since the very first one, hence the name “handhelds”. You seriously expected the ability to play a home console game on the go? Fail
Stop putting words in my mouth, it’s the weakest form of arguing.
I made a very simple point that you want to stretch into your own distortion field, the Wii U is confined to the house for streaming. Period. End of. Nothing else needs to be added, nor do I need you, CaptainObviousFakerBros to tell me things I am most certainly aware of/never actually expected.
No shit. It’s a fucking home console! Why are you bragging about a handheld having the ability to be played on the go when that’s been a feature that handhelds have enjoyed since they were first thought of? If you’re aware of it, then why are you making it out as if it’s some god damn new feature when it’s been done for over 30 years?!
Sorry but for retards like you, I have to point out the obvious.
OMG, you can take a HANDHELD with you on the go? I NEVER knew that! Oh god, such innovation! Truly ground-breaking!
Then stop praising the Wii U controller like it’s the shit, you fucktard. The selling point is confined to your house and thus this feature is nearly irrelevant if other mobile devices can do it anytime, anywhere. Stupid fucking nintendroids.
Amm that´s because it´s a home console… It´s meant to play connected to a TV in your house, unlike a handheld. The whole comparison isn´t logical because they are different machines, but since they´re trying to get people to buy the Vita, they need to bash a completely different system, so people like you, that apparently believe in every single thing they say, can post these comments in the Internet, reflecting pretty much the average video game consumer… and if that´s where the industry is heading with fanboyism and buying products just because it´s your favorite company… then I guess we are pretty much condemning the video games we love so much.
Egad! You have to play a home console at HOME?! Blasphemy!
Reggie saids: Nintendo is pointing and laughing at sony(the pony) for this bs.
LOL Sony. Your like the little kid in school who pissed his pants and tries to prove that he spilled his drink.
The last sentence of the article cracked me up:
“Every single person that actually picks that thing up absolutely loves it.”
I think the key word is “actually.” Havin trouble getting people to buy it, aren’t ya Sony? Poor guy has resorted to begging. “If you’ll pretty please just give me $250-$300 I promise you’ll like it!!”
I think I’ll pass.
Everybody who picks up Vita loves it….
Nobody has picked up a Vita, then. PS fans have, I suppose, and the sales aren’t promising. You’d better start passing those things around at schools like show and tell.
You know there is a serious problem when you start comparing your dedicated gaming systems to another system’s controller.
nice try Vita, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOOL
“Hey I need to watch something get off the game”
On WiiU:
*switches the game to tablet only*
WIN!
On PS3:
*attempts to play the game on PSVista and you realize yo have to purchase the exact same game for the Vita too*
FAIL!
Wooh go Sony!! Love my vita…. 3Ds is good for Mario and stuff like that but yeah cant compete with vita … Wii 2 *coughs* i mean Wii U, aint worth the money
Before I start making lame fan-boy comments, I’ll wait until I have BOTH systems to play with before making a statement. But Sony seriously needs to STFU for now.
I really believe PS3 + PSVita combo is pretty interesting. Vita has everything to do the same, or even better than Wii U. But the fact of price is a problem. Sony has the mission to make it really better. For now is just potential, and theorically capable… like I said, is up to Sony.
People says that you need to buy the game twice. That’s stupid if is real. Remote play is not meant for that. Watch NVIDIA Tegra 3 Android Tablet + Splashtop THD PLAYING SKYRIM at Ultra settings… Now THAT’s what we want to see on Vita to say it is more than amazing…
Instead of hating Sony, I think the competence is healthy for the market, and if Sony moves well, we’ll see a bright future for the console market, offering economic and unique ways of playing videogames. Peace
Sony, please, just go rot in a hole somewhere.
Everyone head for the hills! Aeolus the rabid Sony virgin fanboy jackoff is extremely angry and on full rage!!!!!!
So, let’s review Sony’s score this time:
“That Wii U tablet doesn’t have a processor in it, so it’s got to be fueled by that box sitting under your TV.”
^Trying to list this as a negative.[-1]
If anything it sounds like they are digging very, VERY hard for something bad to say and aren’t finding much. That on top of trying to compare a controller to a handheld system[-1], which has proven latency issues when connecting to the PS3 whereas the Wii U tablet has been proven to render even faster than the TV images.
Then there’s the fact that he just said “that box”. Obvious condescension and scorn, which doesn’t reflect very well on him when he’s supposed to be trying to look professional for the sake of the interview.[-1]
[Total so far: -3 points.]
“We can do some pretty special things that you’ll start to see on the [E3] floor this year and you’ll see more over the upcoming months about what you can do when you actually have a processor in the thing that’s in your hand as well.”
Sony’s E3 presentation didn’t show anything about the Vita-PS3 connectivity that drew more attention than the Wii U’s gamepad or the Smart Glass from Micro[-1], and they didn’t give many people a reason to hope that they’d be making improvements in the coming months. Nor did they go into detail about how having that processor actually matters in terms of what Vita can do for the games between the two systems.[-1]
[Total so far: -5 points.]
“It’s only been three months though, just three months. There are a lot of games on that machine and I think what we have to hang our hat on… Every single person that actually picks that thing up absolutely loves it.”
Making out the short time it has been out is the only plus side of their argument. All systems get better software with time, but you can’t improve the hardware that much, so that mention of how little time it has been out doesn’t earn them points. It doesn’t lose them any, but it doesn’t earn them any, since it’s a general truth about all systems.[-0, +0]
Then they say that they have a lot of games on that machine.
How many, precisely? And in comparison to what?
Since this is about the Wii U vs the Vita, I’m going to go with the assumption that he means in comparison to the Wii U.
Of COURSE you’ve got many games! 3 months? HELLOOOO? That’s one of those “captain obvious” moments[-1], but the fact that it can be construed as a statement vs the Wii U’s amount of games only makes it worse, since in that case they would be relating to a system’s launch line-up, which is never huge.[-1]
Additionally, the statement that they’ve got “Many games” doesn’t say anything about how many of said games were actually great in terms of sales.[-1]
[Total so far: -8 points]
On top of that, I picked up a Vita before.
They had a demo Vita in my local gamestop.
I played with it for at least two hours to see if I could get used to it.
It felt, if anything, even more awkward to hold than the original PSP, which I own purely for the sake of Kingdom Hearts: Birth Before Sleep[which, btw, I stopped playing after the first storyline, because the system was far too difficult for me to get used to.] By the end of my short time with the Vita, I was completely turned off by how my hands felt after holding it for those short two hours.
Neither system is comfortable to hold, unlike my 3DS.
And now here comes Sony, telling me that I would love the Vita if I bought it, when simply holding the damn thing for two short hours makes me cringe.[-1]
And on top of that, they add that “EVERY SINGLE PERSON” who bought the Vita, loves it.
Ever seen a used Vita?
I have, Sony.
And I’ve seen someone come in to trade it in after having bought it, because it was something they did NOT like.
Sony needs to stop making general statements like that, since it’s really just shoving their foot in their mouth.[-1]
And to cap it off, they’ve forgotten that Nintendo has already released plans to make the Wii U cross-platform-functional with the 3DS in many aspects, so basically, Nintendo is offering exactly what Sony is, only Sony is trying to sell theirs off as if they came up with it all first.[-1]
Grand total: -11 points.
Congratulations, Sony. You’ve got two whole double-digits of fail for this article.
The only thing that makes up for your lackluster performance with the Vita, is that the PS3 has some decent stuff coming for it.
I’ll be getting that Zone of the Enders HD collection, Sony, but I promise you that unless you[or one of your partners] pull a game out of your hype hat that is so incredible that I start tossing my wallet at you, you’re not going to convince me to buy a Vita.
Stop focusing on multimedia and focus more on games, Sony. Then we will talk about that missing Vita sale on your record.
tl;dr.
Need one?
Okay.
Sony needs to shut their trap until they’ve taken care of their own problems, because the continuous bashing of others is just showing their own insecurity. Their PS3 has some good games coming to it; they should focus on that and stop making snide asides about the competition, since it’s a waste of time that they could be putting into other things.
They make comments like this against competition for generations now, lol. They know it easily gets people worked up enough to have a response out of it, so they continue to do it.
People like you.
