Do you really think PS4 can boost Vita sales?

“We strongly recommend that Remote Play be used within the same Wi-Fi network where PS4 is connected,” the FAQ states. “Remote Play may or may not work over a wide area network. For Remote Play to function over a wide area network, a robust and stable Wi-Fi connection and broadband Internet connection is required, and the local area network where PS4 is connected must be configured to permit the PS Vita system to access PS4.”

Yeah, but it was crap within the same network before, that's all I meant. You had to leave your PS3 on at all times to use it and could only play 1 or 2 games. I also think with a good enough internet it will work, just probably not in an area of free public wi-fi or something.

I don't think it will work well in the average wifi network.  Sony's language certainly doesn't indicate confidence that the feature will work well in anything but your own wifi network.  That was pretty much the point of the original post you responded to.

As for working well locally, uhhh maybe.  As much as I enjoy the ability to do remote play with the Wii U, it isn't a feature that I could see myself, or anyone else, spending 200 dollars extra for.

My point is, I don't think that it is a system seller in itself, but it gets people interested in the console if they aren't already. If they are, then it is an extra incentive to buy it.

If you have a PS4, you could get a 3DS, or for a bit more get a Vita and get Remote Play

I will be interested to see how remote play does work, but my home network is very good, so hopefully that will help out a bit. It's something I'll give a test in December
