Why did Sony make the Vita if they were planning to make a streaming service anyway?

You're asking why Sony released a handheld in 2011 when they were going to create a streaming service in 2014?

Yes. Why would Sony release a streaning service that would render the handheld obselete?

Oh boy.

PS Now is a full streaming service. Vita is just remote play. Meaning you can play a PS4 game on your Vita if you're right next to the PS4. You have to own the PS4 AND the game. With PS Now you can stream anything available without having to actually own anything. 

And who buys a Vita for remote play anyways? This is not a major system selling feature for any type of consumer.
