Sony on Wii U: "What if you have a family of six?"

Link

Hmm...that's a good question. What are your thoughts on this, typical Sony PR crap or does he actually have a point this time? :)

depends how rich you are, the controllers will likely cost over $100.

"The only thing I've got to say is mimicry is the is the highest form of flattery," he said.

they're right , nintendo just copied the NGP design made it a lil bit larger and use it as their new controller , and if you have 4 kids and a wife that thing is useless

Can't you use Wii-motes or something?

*is too lazy to read the article and is assuming it's about the controller problem thing.

:P

Then Sony is the biggest flatterer in the gaming industry. They seriously have no idea of their own...

i'd wager a lot of families of six are quite rich

So can you connect 6 separate sets of move controllers to PS3? And how many games will that work with?ManicAce

So PS3... what if i have a family of six and three friends?

Cloud service is not something Sony came up with.

The controller isn't being sold seperately. I hate having to repeat this ad nauseum.

is that a joke? Only reason Nintendo used that footage was because: 1) Wii will have similar hardware in terms of visual output 2) It's too early in WiiU arrival to show any actual footage of those titles. It has nothing to do with what this guy is implying....just terrible.

Seems like another gimmick to me, basically a big DS with the dual screen play. gamebreakerz__

^^^ This. It's definitely another gimmick. I honestly think Nintendo did the same thing they did with the Wii simply to garner sales. It's kinda getting old.

Hmm how many controller spots were in the playstation 2 hmm?

They are hypocritical... sometimes people need to keep quiet..

People are saying the concept of playing a game on a TV and switching to a handheld or vice-versa, is a brand new idea originally thought up by Nintendo. Vita will be network connectable which means you'll have a ccess to PS-Cloud to save you games. Games and saves you can then use on your PS3 or PS4 (assumed) to do basically what Wii-U does. There are many differences, mind you.

the thing is will you need 6 controllers? do you even need more than 2? because since wii u will support wiimote and all i think the multi player games will be using the wiimote. even if wii u came with 4 controllers would 4 people be using them at the same time?

honestly i see wii u controller being something as single player.

Doesn't impact us in the least. It's far from the future at this point as well.

Okay, yes I am a Nintendo fanboy but I also own and love all three consoles and am a fan all three companies as well. Heck I even prefer the PS3 to the 360 so this isn't coming from the side of bias I promise.

But this statement is ludicrous. "What if you have a family of six"? Well....which of the consoles has a single game that supports six players (or even any number greater than four) requiring all of the players to be in your house together and to each have a controller in their hand? I'll tell you one I know of for sure that doesn't: the Playstation 3. That's like saying "it doesn't make cheesburgers?? Well...what if you're hungry for a cheesburger!?" Stupid.

And then on the use of non-Wii U footage in its montage, "mimicry is the highest form of flattery". This is also an impossibly ignorant statement. I must say that I was surprised anyone thought that footage was games running on the system. It was clear to me the system was in too early of stages of development to have any real games avilable yet so I never even questioned it. But in the end if it caught some people off guard then fair enough. But I don't think they did anything wrong. If those titles are coming to the console (which, they are) then they have the right to show them. Nintendo showing footage of Arkam Asylum isn't them saying "look how awesome Sony is and we want to be just like them". It's saying, "look at how awesome this game from Rocksteady Games is and we want this on our console". I think it's pretty narrowminded of this guy to assume that reel had a thing to do with Sony or the PS3. Just my two cents.
