PlayStation Vita could be used as PS3 controller

You can do the same thing with the PSP...but people don't because it is dumb. It is bad enough when a company loses sales by making a PSP or PS3 exclusive...but to make a game that needs both a PS3 and a new handheld that only a relatively small number of people have purchased is just dumb.

Perhaps developers could make it (though their costs would be greatly increased so likelihood this won't happen) that rather than being a necessity, the Vita could act as an accessory to the PS3.

This way Sony can compete on a more level playing field to the Wii U, such as providng an extra screen to play games on while someone else watches TV, or the extra screen being used in conjunction with the move (like a golf game, as in the Wii U demo vid).
