It doesn’t really matter who does it first, it matters who does it best. Sony can probably make the Vita do everything the Wii U does, plus it’s a real portable console, plus they can get it in our hands first. That trumps Nintendo in my opinion. The only thing Nintendo will still have going for it is the first party games, which seem to come too far between.

I was wondering about that, as a budget gamer i am rarely ever am the early adopter but all i could think was holy hell how much is it going to cost to try and get two to four of those bad boy controllers for group playing. lol the thought of that cost was the biggest turn off for me.

Sony is reusing an idea that Nintendo had already used 1 generation ago.

But, at the same time I totally see Paul’s point, Nintendo being the first to reveal the idea will make people call Sony the copycat.

WiiU is scheduled to come out in 2012, my bet would be October or November since that’s when all major consoles are released. The Vita is coming out this year. That gives Sony a full year to do it first and it seems like all it would take is a firmware upgrade.

That’s what I’m saying. If they manage to give the PS Vita WiiU type functionality and say, show that at next year’s E3, even if they did have the idea first, it’s still going to look like they’re copying.
