Sony Patents Wii U-like Controller.

Again, twist and try to reason with it all you wish. 2010 still comes before 2011. The least you could do to attempt to help your argument is link to Nintendo's patent showing they had the idea first......oh wait, you can't because Sony beat them to it. Have fun in your fantasy world there junior.AmazonTreeBoa

Twist and try to reason? That patent shows it's an AR machine. Not a controller like what Nintendo has presented. It has nothing to do with using it as a common controller or with a DS-like function.

So, yeah. It's not even the same thing. You should at least read the damn thing.

That doesn't mean they came up with the idea first. It means they put it on paper and submitted it. Patent =/= reveal, or invent. Don't see how that's so hard to comprehend. Companies sit on patents and never do a damn thing with them.

So every console maker copies this?:

Magnavox Odyssay (aka first home console ever made)

Nothing to read. Just correcting the idiots in this thread claiming Sony copied Nintendo. What was you reasoning behind quoting me the first time. No matter what you have to say, it changes nothing. Sony did NOT copy Nintendo here. Why are you so butthurt over what I said?AmazonTreeBoa

Butthurt? You had an outburst for no reason. I'm not butthurt over anything.

Since it's nothing but a giant AR machine, one could say they copied Nintendo's AR features for the 3DS and applied it to that thing and Vita. This was filed after E3 anyway.

It seems Playstation suffers from the biggest identity crisis in video game history. They copy everything they can, but rarely does it do well.

While in the another division, they develop this as an xray machine for airport security, and sell it to hospitals for mammograms.

lololol

Not to mention EyeToy games counts as AR too, but i bet if you go back in time where technology was looking on idea of virtual reality you would find some primitive form of AR there too

The Move was also patented way before a the Wii was announced...but everyone is quickly to forget.
Same as this, for the lay people it's as if Sony copied...but in reality a lot of companies borrow ideas from each other.
And who knows, maybe this is just a peripheral kind of thing instead of the gimmick Wii U is going for.

Very true.

WTF Sony? I swear I will not buy any console next gen that has a tablet controller...

Or use of Vita to do extra remote play staf that they demoed at TGS

[QUOTE="D4W1L4H"] Because we all know that it takes less than a year to have development kits sent out and demo systems up and running right?D4W1L4H

DrTrafalgarLaw

Agree with this.

The Wii U controller at the moment is too big. They should downscale it.

I don't see sony making a tablet controller, if anything i see them enabling the Vita to be used as a tablet controller with the PS4.

Well, they are clearly going for a tablet audience with the Wiiu otherwise they wouldn't have a tablet as the controller. The touchscreen itself is not the gimmick, it's the idea that a tablet-design will make people interested in the product.

A gimmick = What makes our product unique enough to get people interested. Tablets are the new thing right now so it's only natural for a company to use that as a gimmick. Gimmick =/= Bad.

I don't see sony making a tablet controller, if anything i see them enabling the Vita to be used as a tablet controller with the PS4.

you guys do realize how long it takes to get a patent right?

Overlord93

you mean like the minigames from the gameboy camera?

BrunoBRS

Not really. You just took a picture and then the game used that picture. There wasn't games that used the camera in direct gameplay like AR games does.

You could argue that the filters you could add before you took the picture were AR but every digital camera has had those and they were not games.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="Overlord93"] I figure that's what this patent is. Nothing more than a vague reference to what they aim/aimed to do with the vita.zarshack

[QUOTE="zarshack"]

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] and in the end, this patent will only exist so you can use the vita as a rear mirror for your car in riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge racer.BrunoBRS

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]Just like the Move owned the Wii, right? Oh, sh!t, wait a second...waltefmoney

Shut up, DarkLink.

It was still superior technology.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]Okay. :|waltefmoney

Fine :x

You guys do realize this is most likely the PS Vita and how it connects with the PS3. SilverSterls

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="zarshack"]In all seriousness i expect some great things from vita-ps3/4 connectivity.

zarshack

[QUOTE="zarshack"]

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] which reminds me, nintendo has been doing handheld/console interconnectivity since the SNES :DBrunoBRS

No, as i see on YouTube this minigames was just about making pictures of you face to be included in the game, in talking here about viewing content attach to view of caera or interact with that content with you body like EyeToy.... yea EyeToy is diffrent thing a little then stuff we got now, but EyeToy technology have same principles as AR that we have today
