| Quote: | E3 2011: But Sony already has plenty underway, insists president of SCE Worldwide Studios
Speaking to Develop, president of Sony Computer Entertainment’s Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida has revealed he is interested by Nintendo's recently announced Wii U, and said it will likely inspire Vita developers to carry out experiments with the newly named Sony handheld.
"It is very interesting the ways that Nintendo went with Wii U, and I was surprised it wasn't exactly as it had been rumoured," Yoshida told Develop at E3.
"Already people are starting to ask about linking Vita and PS3 to do something similar, in terms of using two screens, and having controls on the screen.
"That's very interesting, and we will have to experiment," he added, before suggesting that such work was already, to a certain extent, underway.
"Lots of the things that developers of Vita games are doing, as you may have seen, is experimenting with connectivities between Vita and PS3.
"The Wipeout [2048] team came up with their cross play ideas, and the other Vita teams have come up with ways of playing with two systems. It's just a matter of time, as we provide the SDKs to developers so they can make use of both PS3 and Vita, and they might come up with something interesting."
Nintendo unveiled its new console, Wii U, at its Press Conference earlier today, the morning following Sony's own event at which it named the system formally known by codename NGP.

Like I mentioned in the other thread, I can see this happening a lot in the future, and it's all because of tablet/phone gaming. Consoles have tried it in the past (Cube-GBA, PS3-PSP, etc) but I think now, with the capabilities available to handheld peripherals, is when EVERYONE is going to start shifting towards a screen in hand.
Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 (which may end up being similar to what's on offer on the 360 successor, at least from a dashboard perspective) have some level of connectivity, they do look very similar after all.

And suddenly, in the eyes of a certain forum goer, dual screen console gaming has graduated from a pointless gimmick to a revolutionary new way to play.
