PS Vita TV WILL be compatible with DS4

I've mentioned this already but being compatible isn't the only problem, it's the fact that it's not being bundled or associated with the Vita TV. Selling a soon to be obsolete DS3 with the Vita TV means

1. A gamer that buys a PS Vita TV and wants to upgrade to PS4 at a later date can't use their controller.

2. That gamer can't bring his DS3 to play with their friend's PS4s.

3. The heavily touch-influenced UI will be bogged down by inpenetrablely lousy UI controls without things like swiping and scrolling. Navigating between the PS Vita apps and doing things like scrolling through a web browser will be clunkier than it should have been.

4. Associating the DS4 with the Vita TV is critical for establishing the PlayStation brand and strengthening consumer recognition or familiarity. You and I can tell the difference between a DS3 and DS4, but the mainstream consumer will be infuriated to know the controller they just bought for the Vita TV won't work for their PS4.

IT WILL BE RELEASED IN JAPAN BEFORE THE PS4, that's why they're making it bundled with the DS3

And come on if the person wants to stream it with PS4 games, when the person buys a PS4 he will automatically get 1 PS4 controller...

 

Anyway it's called PS Vita TV, not PS 4 TV... It's good to know it will work with BOTH controllers... probably will have a good Gaikai streaming service for PS3 in the following years!
