E3 2011

Bhyho

After each E3 people talk about who "won" this year's show, and I'd say that Sony did. PlayStation Vita makes the 3DS feel like an expensive cheap date and it has the perfect price point: $250. Wii U has an interesting controller, but much of its functionality has already been done with the PSP's connectivity to the PS3. Most of what Nintendo showed of the WU can either be done online (the different camera for the odd wheel in multiplayer modes) or by moving the camera (the shield game)—and most importantly, they didn't even hint at price, which means it'll probably be one expensive son of a bitch.

PlayStation Vita made me feel like a little kid again. The Uncharted: Golden Abyss demo looked great, and looked like it played great—and the touch-screen functionality was used in all the right parts. Dual analog sticks will be a nice touch, and I wonder how the 3DS will fare with its one. I guess Nintendo listened to all the complaints PSP fans offered over the years and printed them out, put them in a bag, and dropped that bag into a pit of fire. PSV clearly has a lot of power inside it as well, and I can't wait to see what comes out for it. If I have the money when it launches, I'm buying it.
