Sony Hitting Nintendo Hard Directly in its Most Vulnerable Spot

With the full revelation of the Sony Vita and its PS3 compatibility this week at E3, a major component of Sony's current strategy has been revealed: Calling Nintendo out on their slightly overpriced products by slightly under pricing their own. This isn't to say that gamers don't get a decent value when purchasing a 3DS. However; the Vita, having significantly more power, graphics/physics capabilities, and has technologically interactive features available at an identical price point.

Wii 2 – Equivalent to the First Matrix Mind Jack?

How's that for absurdity?

Can we all just slow it down for a moment? Take a step back? The rumor and hype train surrounding Nintendo's as of yet unconfirmed 'Soon to be announced' Project Cafe are about to jump the track...

There have been all sorts of rumors surrounding this likely upcoming new Nintendo console. Many people have already set their opinions, and “chosen sides”. It's rather ridiculous when you think about it.

We have people claiming that it will be X-amount better than the Xbox 360 and the PS3. We have people claiming that it will be equal. We have people claiming that it will be less powerful. We have people loving it and hating it. While it all makes sense that an announcement may be just around the corner, we really don't know anything for sure about this thing.

Are we really this shallow, predictable, and biased?

Do Nintendo fanboys have to proclaim this thing (with no true details yet) as the next manna from heaven already?

Do Xbox and Playstation fanboys have to trash it and belittle it, or make up their own 'facts' about how great their favorite company's next console will be?

The base rumor is that an announcement is on its way from Nintendo in the relative near future, and with more details at E3. So while it's fun to speculate, let's keep it in perspective - the hate and adoration (with no confirmed details) to a minimum.

'Project Cafe' hasn't even been truly confirmed yet, and we've already hyped it up to levels that may only lead to disappointment. Take a deep breath. Relax. Now let's stand together on a fact that most of us can agree on. This potential announcement is an exciting thing for gamers!
