Link?

I'm not surprise they did this, I bet that their version of AR is realistic women in bikini dancing on a pole.

you know cause Nintendo is kiddy and Sony is not ...

 

[Hellfire]

take a look through the search results
i saw it for only a few seconds before a vid, so i havent seen much of it.

Old news brah.

Of course they're copying the 3DS, Sony has practically zero originality, most of their products seem to be imitating Nintendo recently.

And that is why the nickname "Clony" exists.

To be honest, Nintendo did not invent AR technology.

of course not. but who had the idea to put it in a games console first?

Eh, I dunno, that's kinda like Apple saying they invented the "elastic scroll". Heaps of other people have been using AR for games and more impressive applications than just games so I don't really see a big deal with Sony jumping on the bandwagon. Moar competition I guess. Can't just have Nintendo doing all the breakthroughs and the other game consoles sitting around, twiddling their thumbs and not doing something a little bit similar.

i never said they invented it, im saying they had the idea to do it first, sony coulda done something more original.

The vita in general is a 3DS except with one big screen instead of two. I ain't gonna lie tho their AR looks way cooler than the 3DS'S.

 

[Batmann64]

you took the cooler thing off my spoiler

If it's any consolation, at least Sony improved on it rather than just "stealing" it and making a cheap rip-off, haha.

I just think AR is too big a thing to not expect the major gaming companies to take it on board, that's all.

If it was something like the 3D capability, and Sony did a similar concept, then that would be a bit of another issue as the 3DS is probably the best example of "no-glasses" 3D. But for AR, eh, it's a bigger ball park.

Technically, Nintendo was the first to use it on a handheld console. Sony had the EyeToy on the PS2 which allowed for crappy AR with a game called EyePet (or something stupid like that...)
