When it comes to serious gaming nothing apple brings will be anywhere near the same league. Vita is basicly a pocket PS3 while IOS can't even match the original PSP yet.
Depends how serious a gamer you are. Frankly real controls beats out touch controls any day of the week for most games. So if you compare the Vita with an Ipad , its like comparing chalk and cheese. Real controls win.
Damn, the damn Vita won't be out until 02/22/12. I'm very surprised new games will only be $39.99 each though, making them on par with new 3DS titles. Looking forward to it.
I read a few days ago Sony is working on copying the wii-U so you can stream ps3 games over wifi and play them on the Vita. It's enough to make me consider ditching my 360 and buying a PS3 myself. I think it's definitely a pretty cool move for those that already have PS3's. Link
