And when I first read on Cross Play I got pretty excited. I may actually get a Vita for that.
I'm still a bit hesitant to buy a Vita as I don't feel it's game line-up is very strong at the moment. But I do plan on buying one in the future (probably after the price drop or redesign, if they do make a "slim" version.)
But I definitely think Cross Play would make it a lot more worthwhile to buy a Vita.
A price drop would definitely be ideal. Cross play has a ton of potential for people like me who live with quite a bit of people TV using people.
A price drop would definitely make this a much better possibility. Unfortunately, Sony said that there won't be one this year.

I agree with this to a point. If the games are being tailor made for the Wii U first and foremost, there's a chance ports to other systems could end up with watered down controls, even if they are capable of handling the same control scheme. It'll be interesting to see what moves Nintendo makes if Sony and Microsoft push forward with the same idea.
Nintendo would still lead the way in terms of these games, though.
As that's essentially what the console is made for. Even if it's something Sony and Microsoft
can do, it's something Wii-U was meant to do.
Nintendo will also, obviously, have the support of first-party titles that wouldn't be ported to other consoles.

The Wii-U is only more powerful than the XBox 360, not the PS3. Not to mention, the graphical capabilities of the Wii-U are only on par with and not better than the PS3 or XBox 360. So that really isn't an issue, at least for PS3. Maybe for XBox.
