    Kinda of reminds me of the WiiU controller, but larger. Wonder if this is the new gaming console? Will it be able to sell even more than the dismal PS Vita?

    The system is not a new console so to speak, at it is a Tablet with attachable controls. I for one am interested to see what this can do. As for the Vita, it’s not dong as bad as you’d think my friend.

      It most certainly is not doing well against the other handhelds, and is possibly only doing OK, but not great. The lack of great sales reports is one reason I am holding off on getting a Vita, I don’t want another PSP on my hands, with no support.

      And I guess what I meant is that is the tablets the new place for gaming to take place? You have this amazing looking thing, with Playstation Mobile Platform on it. With great access to games, which are no where near the level of a handheld like 3DS or even the Vita, but is this where it’s going?

    In all honesty Kirby I would pick this up before I would a Vita, and yes I am a bit of Playstation fan boy!!
