"Sony have confirmed what we suspected all along, that you can
use the PS Vita as a PlayStation 3 controller, effectively offering up
similar gameplay possibilities as Nintendo’s Wii U is touting.
“What could you do with all of this?” asked SCEE’s Phil Rogers at the
Develop Conference. “Here’s a few boring technical ideas: you could
drive a display from a PS3 game, for example. PS3
can send data down to Vita and Vita can display it. You could use the
unique features [of Vita] – gyroscope, touch front and back – as a
control device for a PS3 game.”
“You can run software on both devices and use the network to sync the
game states. And that’s pretty good, because you then have the
processing power of PS3 doing that work, Vita [doing] fancy graphics –
however you want to do it. You’re not sacrificing the PS3′s CPU to be
able to have a rich experience on Vita.”
It seems that Sony will be happy enough for developers to do this, too, which could bring about some interesting ideas. Touch screen control for PS3 games, for example."
