you answered half of my question.
the difference is in its value. the vita is a hand held gaming device with cross play and skype features. both are mobile but vita has more value for what it is worth for a gaming machine first. no reason for it to be excluded.

and why? PS3 -> less hardware power -> no full hd
Wii U Controller -> exactly the same number of buttons like PS3 controller -> much bigger touchscreen for chatting, drag and drop etc..
ah come on, sure they are saying.. and on the other hand its just not true. the psvita on the opposite is much smaller and costs around 200-300 bucks. the Wii U controller supports streaming, a bigger display... and the wii u recognize on which part of the screen you are holding the tablet controller in front of it. that part is visualized on the tablet then (to aim through the display)As far as I know Sony been saying anything Wii-U can do PS3/Vita can. Kind of why I could see Sony helping SE in making something for FFXIV to use both with. Would be a huge selling point to ppl playing FFXIV on ps3 to buy a vita as well so Sony wins in end and FFXIV is better with it ;x
and sony also said " our "Move-controllers" are much better than from the Wii".. and what was it? the biggest flop in history. like the psvita itself.

With all that said, the Wii U gamepad itself still has less features than the Vita.
Tonkra does have a point, the Vita damn near bombed even in Japan (Mobile capital) so Sony is trying it's hardest to push them without giving them away lol.
I'd rather WIi-U than Vita honestly.
The point is that the gamepad itself is a device for indoors. There might be some basic functions you could do with it on the road (clock; mini games like tetris or sudoku which the gamepad can render by itself; notepad), but it's not a fully equiped tablet pc, so there is no internet or phone access without the console and the Wii U games are streamed onto it via bluetooth from the console itself, so once you are out of reach you can't play them.
Also to it's gameplay mechanics it's meant to be a hub for your living room, as you can use it as a remote control for your tv via the infrared sensor.
I have no doubt the wii u gamepad can be used for ffxiv in your home, but I see more value on the ps vita side while in your home and on the road, same applies with other mobile devices.
you would need a mobile plan for the vita just to access the net. dont know how many ppl got that extra feature.The point is that the gamepad itself is a device for indoors.

As to the range of the WIIU gamepad its confirmed to be at lease 8 meters or 24 feet, so you can go next room without a problem.
At the moment you cant do anything with FFXIV while not logged in anyway. Like checking market or maybe trading items...
So the value of the "everywhere online" feature is not as strong as the whole WIIU gamepad concept
