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'm not going to argue with someone who is clearly trying to blow things out of proportion.
Here is the target audience:
People who want a solution to the cable box. Funny how you think this is an insignificant population, when clearly Apple, Google, and Samsung all want it for themselves. The only difference is that Sony's plays games too, oh and can stream gaikai...which may someday include ps4 games. Sounds fine to me.

Um.... I think you lost the argument Theprof00 with that statement, since Apple, Google and Samsung have been failing with those devices in large. By failing I mean reaching the mass market appeal they trying for.
This product is aiming for niche market of the TV streaming sector, and Sony Enthusiest (such as myself).
Personally I think Smart TV (Which Samsung already owns the market) defeats these products really easily.
