One of the joys of being a Vita owner is that you get to stream PS4 games. But it is no longer unique to the Vita. Sony is bringing it's streaming service anywhere. Why did Sony still make the Vita? If they wanted console experiences on a handheld, wasn't that basically their subacription service on a tablet? Why make the Vita if its primary function was being countered by Sony itself? And no, I don't think Sony intended the Vita to be a indie, JRPG handheld.

Cause Ninte...oh wait

What? PSNow doesn't stream PS4 games (yet). That service is still exclusive to the Vita.

I don't that it was their initial plan

Cause they thought that the Vita would take off cause the world is full of magic

I always thought of remote play as just a feature. Couldn't imagine buying a vita just to stream ps4 games. Sony figured the vita would do better in the west and western publishers would want to make games for it, not the case though.

They thought a dedicated handheld gaming machine would take off..... It's why they made the PSP..... Which was their mini do everything on the go devjce.. And the iPhone killed it

You're asking why Sony released a handheld in 2011 when they were going to create a streaming service in 2014?

Its for free, ps now on other things isnt

I don't think a streaming service takes 4 years to plan, announce, and setup.
