Wii 2: It only does everything... and more besides

A few hours later, as Jack Tretton offered his sincere apologies to gamers everywhere, a murmur had begun to spread amongst the amassed hordes.  And tonight in the City Of Angels, on the tipsy streets of Sunset and amongst the dour drunkards of Downtown, it's practically a virus. E3 is alive with the sound of Nintendo. And how its latest innovation is to do everything. No, seriously. Everything.What do you want the fabled Wii 2 controller to do? You might want a big fat touch screen, like an iPad-sized beast come to gaming life. As we suspected, it does that.  (And we might just mean iPad-sized - we've been told it can rival Apple's 10 X 8-inch tablet for clout, but is even lighter.)

E3: Sony PS VITA

The main thing that attracted everyone attention though is the PSVita. It is formerly known as the NGP, next generation portable, but got its new name at the Sony Press Conference at E3. Vita means “Life” and that is exactly what you feel like it will bring back to the Sony Playstationbrand. The one thing that I really wanted on a handheld gaming device was dual analog sticks. I always liked first and 3rd-person shooters and wanted decent controls to play them. That time has finally come and one of my favorite game series, Uncharted is coming out with Uncharted: Golden Abyss is coming out as one of the launch titles. The Sony PSVita is slated to be released later this year with two...

PlayStation Vita Release Will Result In 3DS Price Drop

The Wi-Fi version of PlayStation VITA will retail for $249.99, with a 3G edition for $299.99. Currently the 3DS system sells for $249.99 and sales are below the publisher's expectations. 3DS needs a price outs One of Nintendo's biggest advantages, at least when it comes to portables, is a lower price than the competition. It's a huge reason why the original Game Boy beat Lynx, Turbo Express and Game Gear. The same can also be said of the DS versus PSP. Nintendo could always point to its hardware and tell consumers it was a better deal. With 3DS and Vita, both systems are equal in price.Unless 3DS sales dramatically increase over the next several months, it's the best way for Nintendo to undercut Sony in what should be an interesting portable...
