Unless they sell the PS3 and Vita in a bundle pack to everyone and send Vitas to all current PS3 owners this point is mootMonas said:Sony is closing on Nintendo real hard with the Vita-Ps3 relation.

Yes but they are talking about parents using the tv for watching tv/movies and the kid(s) using Wii U as a screen for the game in the console.linkboy said:Honestly, I think the name pretty much gave away the fact that there would be one controller per console.
Think about it. When Reggie was talking about U, he made it seem like it was geared towards single players.
Multi-player will be Wii
Single player will be U
zomgbbqftw said:Yeah, my source on the Blu-ray said Wii-U is comparable to 360/PS3 in terms of raw power. Again, unofficial, but the original power target was much higher, but Nintendo cut stuff to fit a smaller thermal envelope and keep costs down.
Jinko said:Most TV can take HDMI audio and spit it out the optical output, its not ideal but just thought I would mention it.
Because it was only used in that golf demo and nobody seems to care about it yet.Chittagong said:How come nobody is talking about the sensor strip embedded in the monster controller?
I meant in functionality, not sales figures.Unless they sell the PS3 and Vita in a bundle pack to everyone and send Vitas to all current PS3 owners this point is moot
That pretty much clinches nothing. How else would you have worded that sentence without mentioning second within the same context? The tech is fine. Single touch screens in the way were talking about here are cheap, and there's more than one frequency for EVERY radio type. The input bandwidth is easy, the tricky part is the output bandwidth, but being able to support 2-4 controllers isn't the issue, it's the console splitting up the data, which frankly has nothing to do with the controllers.bishopcruz said:Really, tell me what is so embarrassing. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but considering what was just posted that is less and less likely.
The more I think on it the more likely it seems that, like the Kinect, the tech just doesn't match our imaginations. Is there a latency free wireless technology out there that can stream four separate video feeds to four devices? Remember it also needs the bandwidth for the inputs from the devices as well. And it needs to be cheap.
This pretty much clinches it. They specify a second screen. Not multiple screens. It is 1 tablet per console.

what the same feed? what good would that be?jeanRicK said:Any word on streaming to multiple controllers at the same time? I'm a bit surprised that this hasn't been shown.
Cartman86 said:Could they do multiple new controller support, but disable the streaming the full game to the controller as an alternative to the TV? Like during a Madden game everyone will get a 2D menu interface to pick plays on their own screens? Is it a limitation of the hardware rendering the multiple screens on the console or is it limit of the streaming bandwith?

Red UFO said:The PS3/Vita stuff isn't comparable to this because it isn't the focus of the entire console. It's a similar situation to the PlayStation Move.
Cartman86 said:I also question how you could link up Vita and PS3 in a way that would not result in the kind of lag you see with remote play.

This guy gets it.Zeliard said:Of course they won't. How would Nintendo then release "Mario Galaxy HD" and charge people for it?
onQ123 said:PSP was a handheld released 2 years before the PS3 & might not have been built from the ground up with remote play in mind , PS Vita is a handheld releasing 5 years after the PS3 knowing what's needed to make remote play work as they are developing it.
& with the power that the Vita has they shouldn't need to stream the video like with the PSP they can just send the data between the Vita & PS3.
Soroc said:I don't think this is Sony's intent though. The vibe I got from the conference is they want to sell you 2 SKUs of a game so that you can play it anywhere. Remote Play would kinda infringe on this concept a bit.

HaRyu said:How much lag is there in remote play? I don't use the feature much, so I've never really notice it to be too bad. I've only played Pixeljunk Monsters and some PS Mini games w/ it. And I think Castlevania: SOTN.

vall03 said:sorry if this has been asked before but can Wii games be played on the new controller?
sangreal said:whdi.org actually shows a picture of the PS3 for "Zero delay connectivity for gaming"
WHDI is a wireless display specification like WirelessHD
I think a 5ghz radio would be required though, and I don't think any ps3 supports that?
You could just press the home button?vall03 said:I see, got a couple more
- can we suspend the game while playing on the new controller? something like a simple sleep mode?
- can we boot the console straight from the controller without the need to turn on the tv first?

GreenMonkey said:Anyone into projectors knows we've been hoping for good wireless HDMI tech for quite some time. Every year it was promised at tech shows, and every year it turned into vaporware.
We're JUST starting to see WiDi, WHDI, and other techs for this show up in the marketplace.
It takes a lot of bandwidth to stream even 480p digitally. It makes sense they can't quite pull off more than one tablet controller.
I'd hope for 2 - but maybe they can't do it with the technology of today.
If it was just an issue of processing power, they could do what you said and make the tablet screen just a simple map/scoreboard or something. If it was a bandwidth issue, USB cables are cheap.Cartman86 said:Could they do multiple new controller support, but disable the streaming the full game to the controller as an alternative to the TV?

Multi-touch means the screen can interpret being touched at more than one point. It's become very popular with smooth, capacitive displays that track the conductivity of your fingertips. Resistive touch screens, on the other hand, are a lot simple and just use physical contact between two layers of thin film to tell where the display is being touched. Since it's just based on pressing the screen, they usually work with either a stylus or your fingers.ArachosiA 78 said:So what is this "multi-touch" feature everyone seems to be pissed about the WiiU not having? I've never owned any kind of touch screen anything, so I have no idea what muti-touch means.
