So, I've been thinking about Vita TV, and do you know what - I approve of it. For one reason alone: games.

Right now, Japan is where most Vita games are getting made. But a lot of them aren'tbeing localized, since presumably companies don't think they'll get a decent return.

If Vita TV comes out in the west, it'll be targeting a different market to Vita. Vita is a high-end handheld; Vita TV is a low-end console. I'd assume that will at least expand into a different market somewhat.

But in terms of Vita games, both consoles play the same games through the same cartridges. Suddenly, Vita's install-base increases loads. And then maybe we don't have to fight tooth and nail with every opportunity we get to get stuff like Tales of or Phantasy Star Online localized, because there's two different pools of people to sell to.

I also just realised - this is how we get a console version of PSO2 in the west :P

Maybe... just maybe... this will increase interest in localizing some late-in-PSP's-life PSP games, too, and releasing them for cheap on PSN.

Well, i don't think any try to get the Vita know will hurt the brand.. Actually for 99$ is a better alternative than OUYA on the lot of Android based microconsoles project that are beginning to release/announced..

About the late-PSP games translation.. I think the interest is rising...  at least XSeed,MonkeyPaw and NIS are still intetrested, and SONY seems to be hearing to customer in this regard..So I can be positive on this too...

The low-console stuff, could work actually, but I hope there is DualShock 4 support at future.. because that could cover the Touchscreen lack of DS3...

 

@Gehirnkrampf: Yeah is a re-release with a LOT of additions, is not a NEW game,but i think gameplay-wise is worth the money.. and probably will release cheaper than a standart PSVita game (30$ or less may be?).. but i doubt it will be a Paid DLC Update as you hope...
