It mocks consoles entirely, because keyboard and mouse doesn't strictly need thumbs at all.

Both, I'd imagine. The PSP taught us that console-like games don't function all that great on a handheld with one analogue nub/stick without compromises. The 3DS ignored that and went on about its business, but fixed the issue with an add-on. Or it could be a response to Nintendo just saying "screw you, I do what I want" and rolling out the XL with one nub. Either way, it's right, we really should've learned form the PSP's setup.

I didn't find it was mocking anything...just advertising it's dual sticks like they are special.

The irony is that Resistance is a shiitty game and was not received well at all. At least use a GOOD example.

It mocks the Vita by assuming people want a console FPS game on a small handheld screen. Sony STILL doesn't get who the handheld market actually is and what kind of games they want.

They still don't get it...It's about great games and immersive enhancements. Besides there are already way too many generic FPS games out there in this vast wide world of ours.

I don't understand the big deal on having just one circle pad/analog stick. Its just a portable anyway.

With the Mario style music at the beginning, it most likely was targeted at the 3DS. In any case it's a lame commercial.

It's just sort of a subtle jab. Not a big deal.

All console shooters are inferior specimens. Only the glorious PC master race controls the FPS in the correct fashion.

@SpecterM91
The case is different with the 3DS as Nintendo's reasoning for only one is the touch screen.

The PSP didn't have anything like this so it fell flat. IMO, the DS didn't even have ONE analog stick and shooters still played better. The touch screen controls are so much fun.
@Nintendude92
I was about to say this. The Vita is getting some Cash-In games on major PS franchises and a lot of them are disappointments compared to the original games.

Me either. Resident Evil Revelations plays just fine with one stick.

Probably the 3DS; Sony has always had a bad history of mocking its competition

Well, the 3DS doesn't even have any FPS's, so the PSP obviously.

This still baffles me. You'd think that'd be a shooing for the 3DS.

I thought they would've learned from the PSP that there's a difference between the console and handheld gaming scenes. For the most part, people who use portable systems don't want the exact same thing they can get on consoles. They want something specifically tailored for handhelds and until Sony figures out how to do this, none of their portables will sell.

The Vita has one more thumb stick, touch screen and one less dimension, software library.
You give and you take. :D
