10 Things Nobody Admits PS3 Did Better Than Xbox 360

The handheld market has never been much of a successful money-maker with either Sony or Microsoft over the years. Up against Nintendo, who have dominated the market ever since the release of the Gameboy back in the early '90s, Sony have had a number of failed ventures, whilst Microsoft have never even attempted to push a product to market in their history.

However, with the seventh generation of consoles, Sony did manage to pull together a system that worked quite well and actually gave the PS3 another considerable edge over its 360 counterpart.

The PSP and PS Vita were far from great handheld consoles and were decimated by the Nintendo alternatives in terms of sales and reception, but at least they were actually at the party. The Vita offered remote play functionality with the PS3 via PlayStation Now, and might have had better luck had it been released a few years earlier when the console was in its pomp.

As for the PSP, the handheld had a number of features linked to the PS3 that players could take advantage of. It could be used with a PS3 controller, as well as take advantage of the console's remote play to watch videos, view photos, listen to music and even control the audio playback on a home entertainment system.

All pretty gimmicky admittedly, but at least Sony had some handhelds during the seventh generation.
