Forums - Sales - VGChartz tracking PS Vita TV?

It's not a handheld, it's a streaming device (if I understood the concept correctly).

It runs Vita games, it has entrace to vita cartdrige. It cant be a portable device, but it still is an Playstation Vita.

The PS Vita TV is the console without the screen and controllers included. The 2DS is the console without the 3D.

I see no real difference as it's the exact same console, minus a little bit of compatibility in features. Retail games are still playable on it and it still accepts Vita memory cards. I think it should be tracked along with Vita sales.



no real difference? There is a huge difference. (not saying to exclude ps vita tv with vita) 2DS is a 3DS without 3D, same crap! PS Vita TV is no PS Vita, in fct its more like a PS Home Console. Only reason why its called PSV in my opinion is to add both sale #s together to make Vita not sound bad anymore. It could of been called PS TV and nobody would of thought it was a vita, just a good device that lets you stream classic/psp/psv games!!!!!

except you put Vita games in it...



its not digital only? Why did somebody say that then? Well be it as counting with/without PSV TV>>>PSV imo in sales

I think there's a slot on the front for Vita cards.  Also isn't the one slot on the back for Vita memory cards?

How about PSV games using the rear touchpad? DS4 has a touchpad, but how will they be played with a DS3 controller on PSVTV?

Hold L2 for front touch and R2 for rear touch. While holding one or the other, move the analogue sticks around to simulate fingers.

Is that what they confirmed or is that a theory?

Confirmed. I don't post theories lol.

Hmm, I wonder why some of the games dont have support yet like GR and UCGA, is it something else that is preventing them from being playable?

In uncharted's case it's probably the camera needed for that one minigame. Also this Jerry rigged technique would really only work for menus. During gameplay it's too impractical.

To me it's a next level concept of a Portable VideoGame Play anywhere if there's a TV... LOL

Ooh.

 

Sorry for going offtopic but since you seem to be the only one on I'm sure you can help me with this question..

"there appears to be some color wash-out occurring on the off-angle Vitas, which would indicate that we’re looking at a TN screen."

^ What does that mean exactly?

 

And can you tell me the difference between OLED and LCD (Sorry I'm kind of a noob in this ~-~).

The bolded part makes no sense since that video was rendered... If true though it just means a run of the mill LCD.

LCD is having a big backlight and then blocking out pixels to create the image. OLED. is instead having every pixel be its own light. This really just means the screen has super dark blacks and usually better viewing angles.

THX for the info. Intelligent and conceptually simple solution, but it looks a little bit awkward practically. Anyway, PC gamers like me will find it quite simple compared to some PC games controls, and in the past I owned a MS Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick (it broke one week after the warranty expired, so I didn't buy MS HW anymore) that had a switch button to double the other buttons functions, a similar concept, and it wasn't too bad as long as the least used controls were assigned to the buttons 2nd functions.

If its not tracked as a Vita we shouldnt have 2ds added to 3DS or PS3 Slim added to PS3 or XBox 360 E added to XBox 360 etc. etc.
Its a part of the Vita family, obviously it will be tracked withe the other 2 Vita models
