That's just it. I have no doubt that the Vita TV will far outsell the Vita proper. It's significantly cheaper and it appeals more to the Vita target audience than the Vita itself ever did.
So all this does is take away reasons to buy a Vita. Now it has few if any actual exclusives. Don't buy a Vita for Persona 4 Golden or Gravity Rush, you can play those on the much cheaper Vita TV with a much bigger screen. Some people will still buy a Vita for the ability to play them on the go, but more people than were buying the Vita previously? I don't think so.
I don't think it's a bad move, it's just really weird and I don't quite get it. And I think it goes without saying that if the Vita had been a runaway success, we never would have seen anything like this.
