It makes total sense for the Japanese market. If someone said it wouldnt, then i wouldnt value their opinion much.

The Japanese carry their portables around and use them as their main gaming system. Having a home system is not handy for them because they cant make any progress with that that ehy can then take with them. This is perfect for them.

I don't see the logic in this. How can you make progress with the Vita TV when you are traveling? It doesn't have a screen.

Or do you think we will see a new phenomenon where people constantly will go around searching for TV screens available that they can hook up their Vita TVs to?

Sorry, but i dont understand what you are on about. The Vita TV means you can hook up your Vita to the TV when you are at home. When you are outside you use your Vita screen obviously. I wonder if you're confused over what this is.

...but you need to have 2 vitas for that, I still think some people that doesn't have a vita already will buy PSV TV and maybe they will buy vita portable later based on their good impressions about the library.



Persona 5 on PS3, I won't need next gen!

I seriously don't understand the big deal... You can't play most of the games in the Vita TV so you end up needing the PS Vita. In that case... why not buy the PS Vita? I mean what is the point of the PS Vita TV... I could see it selling in Japan... But I don't think it wil sell at all in the western markets.

It's a good sign, but it might not mean much.

what about the ps4 stream ability? the indies? the psp, ps1 games? the vita games without touch?

 

and in a possible future:

ps3 gaikai? games that getting patched so they will work without touch? future ps2 support?



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

Wait, this new Vita-TV device has its own screen?

It could get interesting on the future but I don't see it as an alternatvie for a VIta as of now.

If it supported PS3 games and in the future I could play Vita games without the touch function I would seriously consider it. I mostly game my portable consoles at home and besides the price point is excellent. But we have to wait and see :/

Oh i see. I was the one confused. I thought you needed to have a Vita for this thing to work. I guess not. You can still swap the games around though, so it still makes sense to the Japanese. But i suppose this is a cheaper Vita you use with your TV. Shocking. It really is on the same level as the 2DS.
