OK, I see where you're coming from. So for you this is kind of like a Gamecube Game Boy Player? It allows you to play the games you already enjoy on your handheld on a TV. It just seems expensive for that level of functionality.
As a Vita owner myself, I would just never recommend this product to someone interested in playing Vita games. Those games were designed, in most cases, with the Vita hardware in mind. Not to be played with a Dualshock controller on a TV. Plus, the raison d'etre of any handheld system is portability. You lose all that with Vita TV.

Well, you might've understood better had you read the product details first.
It's a media streaming device that ALSO plays the vita catalogue. It's not meant for gamers, it's meant for the audience of people who spend 100$ to have hulu, netflix, etc on their tv, with the exception that now they can play games too.

So Vita TV is for people 1) who don't own any seventh generation consoles, a computer, or a smart TV, 2) really want to play Vita games, and 3) don't have an extra $100 in disposable income to buy a real Vita?
That's not much of a target audience.

I have 2 Ps1, 2 PS2, 1 PSP, 2 PS3, 1 PS Vita and I will buy this instead of the pricey PS4 (will buy that much later).
I have a PC, I don't have extra 300€ to buy PS4, makes sense?
Don't worry about the target audience, a year after launch we will see if there was audience for this, everyone will be happy to have more options.

To each his own. I've bought a lot of stuff no one else would think about getting. At one point I had three Gamecubes (gave the last one to my niece and nephew). But I'm still really struggling to get my head around this product. It seems to be jack of all trades, master of none.
