I could see them doing something with their next handheld that takes the off-screen play of the Vita and has it go both ways. You could stream console games onto the handheld like you can on the Vita, and the console could stream games off the handheld. However, the technology, or at least the general concept, of playing handheld games on the TV and console games on a handheld have both been done before. Nothing new under the Sun, and nothing that's going to be a huge selling point for either system. It's one of those things that might be a nice thing to have, but nothing that's going to make people go flocking to the stores. |
I don't interpret the fusion concept as streaming though. You won't need a handheld to play the handheld games, and vice-versa. You only need one form-factor to play most games that will release on both form-factors. You can buy the handheld if you prefer portability, the console if you prefer visuals/performance/better controls, or both if you prefer both. This is a unified platform just like Apple's IOS or Android's Google Play store in which you buy one game and you can play it on both form factors (in the case of those examples it is mobile/tablet.)
