Good thing i was downloading all those Vita games from PSN+

This is Sony admitting no one wants to play console games on a portable.

This seems to be like a poor mans console, isn't it?

It'll be very interesting to see how it does!

This is hardware though, i dont think Sony will care if you buy Vita or VitaTV. Sales are sales and if your going to be buying software that will just improve the situation for them weather its to be played on Vita or VitaTV.

If your PS4 is in the lounge and VitaTV  is in the bedroom you can stream the PS4 to the VitaTV and play PS4 games in your bedroom without having to move the console.

Aaaaaaand bought. Though it kinda occurs to me that my Vita should be able to do this same thing if it had an HDMI out. Oh well.

I wonder if the signal is a full 1080p image though and whether or not there is an image degradation.

I'm thinking this is supposed to compete with ouya? Reminds me of the rumored Xbox that was supposed to provide backwards compatibility for the Xbox One and was supposed to be all digital. I'd say this is a bad move, it's going to start confusion within the Vita brand and maybe cause a PSP Go type scenario where it's identity comes to question. Maybe even make devs start excluding touch support. I'm really starting to like my Vita, since Dragon's Crown came out. I hope this doesn't gimp my experience in the future.

o h mer geerd!

I think it also kinda confirms the Vita chipset is about $100 to manufacture (or less). No way would Sony be taking a loss on this for that. I also wonder what's the range of PSVita - PS4 "remote play" ... it's one of the downsides of the Wii U that you're limited as to how far you can take the controller away from the console. It doesn't work in my bedroom for example.

When I read this my mind automatically jumped to "other regions". This console could be a beast over there.

I'm thinking it would have more of an impact on software development. Software that would push the Vita and it's features. As it is now, the Vita's main library is PSP and PSX games. Devs have been leaning towards programming for PSP, instead of doing an upgraded Vita version, since the Vita can play it anyways. This might further enhance that case.
