The Vita TV didn't work for many reasons, and more than just the Vita being a failure. The Vita TV was clunky to use on the TV, Sony was incredibly lazy creating the Vita TV that they just shoehorned in the Vita OS that was built to be used on a portable console like the Vita on the TV and the OS clearly wasn't adequate enough for TV use making it feel clunky and weird to use on the TV. The biggest problem though was that most Vita games weren't even compatible with the Vita TV since many of the games required PS Vita-exclusive features like the touch screen which couldn't work on a PS3 controller(Sony definitely could've optimized it to work on PS4 controllers though since the PS4 controller had a touchpad, but refused to do it) A Switch TV wouldn't have those issues, the Switch's OS is already built to be used on the TV and all games will be compatible for it. |
While it's already implied by your post, I'd say specifically that the Switch is already highly successful as a TV console. Most polls out there show around 30% of users use the Switch exclusively or almost exclusively for TV. There is also the factor of having a cheap entry level console. But, I think Switch TV might work better as part of the Switch 2 lineup, rather than the Switch 1 - depending on Nintendo's direction - they might add some feature making portability options essential for some of their application - but if not, then Switch TV seems like a no-brainer.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
