Sony: Vita Has Advantage Over Nintendo's Wii U
Wii U? Tablet? Tsk! Pschaw! Sony doesn't need no stinking tablet controller. The PlayStation maker already has its product agenda sorted with PS3 and PS Vita - a combination that the company believes makes its offering a much better deal for gamers.

Scott Rohde, the VP of Sony Worldwide Studios, told GamesIndustry that Sony "can do a lot of special things" with the PlayStation Vita. "That Wii U tablet doesn't have a processor in it, so it's got to be fuelled by that box sitting under your TV.

“We can do some pretty special things that you'll start to see on the 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." Yeah, but it means nothing if the Vita doesn't sell at all. Scott?

"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. So we're going to continue to build on that momentum. We have a lot of good things coming."

Well, that's a relief. Get ready for a fistfight, Nintendo.

HAHAHAHA
3 games.
ONLY THREE.
EXPLAIN THAT SONY. </3
even though i love nintendo, i was expecting the vita to do well, and get some great games on it, affter all, even if i prefer the 3ds, the vita is one sexy piece of kit.
however sony seem to be barely backing it, the 3ds is outselling it 8 to 1 in some places and its turning into a failing console. While i dislike sony and its marketing stratedgy and its eintire gaming ethos, i dont want to see another console die.

Dwarph, what (other than your self professed "love" of Nintendo) makes you so anti Sony? What about their "gaming ethos" so offends you?
