Why the Vita TV and other “microconsoles” are destined to fail

This might be a dumb idea that I am about to say but...

I think the reason why Sony released a Vita TV is to compete with Nintendo in China...

Now hear me out... Micheal Pachter said that... If China lifts its ban on gaming consoles, the Company to profit the most at the beginning of this is Nintendo... Why? Cause most of the people in China can't afford a ps3 or a 360 and a wii is around $100... So I think instead of letting Nintendo get all the consumers, Sony released this to compete with the wii in some form cause I don't think they will ever release a ps3 for a $100 any time soon

You do have a point... but we must remember that Vita Tv doesn´t work alone. A dualshock is needed, then the cost will be higher than $ 100. I wonder how much a Wii would cost in China
