No, because Vita TV isn't the Vita. It's not a handheld and should not count as Vita sales.



It IS a PS Vita! Without the screen and the controller buttons. It's a portable console you can take in the palm of your hands to play in a TV anywhere... Great to take with you when going to a hotel, beach, friend's home, grandparent's house, crack house, ...


lol, sorry that was funny! PS3/X360/WiiU/PS4/X1 i guess are all portable without it being small. WiiU technically doesn't need a tv but just an outlet!


That's why they are not Portable, because they aren't portable size!

 

PS Vita TV is even more portable then your 3DS, it's size is of a cigarette pack it can fit on your pocket! So it really is portable you can take it ANYWHERE in your pocket...

 

And come on take a Wii U anywhere? it's one hell to put that wiimote sensor on the right place!

 

And again it has the EXACT SAME HARDWARE the PS Vita has, it plays the EXACT SAME GAMES...



1. you have to carry a remote with you so it loses its portability. Yes you can carry the hardware but it doesn't do anything by itself.

2. Its not a handheld, you need a tv


1 - The PS Vita TV + Dualshock 4 is probably the same size of any other handheld! You can put the DS on one pocket and Vita TV on another lol

 

2 - I never said it was a handheld, I alway said it is a PORTABLE CONSOLE

 

And anyway i agree with you they shouldn't count both on Handheld devices... At least it won't make sense anymore for people to keep on with the doom and comparison between Vitax3DS! They should make a new chart for Sony's Handheld/Portable Console hardwares/softwares



You did say portable console, not handheld. my bad on that.

You cant fit this is your pocket! Thats crazy


haha just as you can fit a 2DS in your pocket, is a Dualshock too big now? O,O

And anyway Britney... If a photoproof is what you neeed, and as I enjoy serving another males... photoproof is what you get :P

Just because it's technically possible, a device shouldn't be considered a portable.

Vita.TV = Vita, but only one is a handheld.

Of course they'll release it in the west. It's a given. They even noticed the tremendous positive response, so they'll consider it for next year.


Yes, so I will probably grab one without worries.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Again, I never said PS Vita TV was even CLOSE to being a handheld! Just that IT IS THE MOST PORTABLE CONSOLE out there as it's size is the same of a Cigarettes Pack. And you can easily take it to play at your friend's houses, gf's house, grandma's, in a SUPER SMALL BOX.

GameCube beats it, thanks to the handle.

HAHAHAH Now I know why it only sold only 20m people were sharing their GameCubes! hahah lol

 

 

But really my parents are divorced so this whole generation was really HARD for me lol... I've got a fat PS3 and one Wii, so everytime I changed houses I would take the danm consoles with me... With Wii it only worked about 3 times, cause it was the hell to install those WiiMote sensors... And the PS3 I kept on EVERY damn weekend I would move it from mom's to dad's and it was fucking heavy, I needed to take 3 bags, one with clothes, daily stuff, one with my Fat PS3 and one with my laptop...

 

And I'm so glad about the PS Vita TV cause it's so small and will be super easy to take from a house to another :P

Yes, because its at the super cheap price of $100 it could do really well as long as Sony releases this in other countries then just Japan and advertises it.

Advertising the thing is the most important thing for Sony if they want this to sell really well especially when they bring it over to countries other then just japan. Of course the gamers that want it will buy it but with out advertisement the casuals will have no idea its out.

So it's a Vita, just without two of the most important components of one?

1) Define save. That would help discussion.
2) It's Japan-only. Consoles and by extension microconsoles are secondary device there, after handhelds.
3) Much digital content for the Vita is available on the PS3.

Having said that, I think it can enjoy sales due to
A) its low price
B) its large digital library (PSN store console + portable SW and Gaikai).

I don't think this will make much of a difference in Japan:
C) Its ability to act as a PS4 proxy. (though this doesn't mean 2 PS4s, just that the Vita avoids having to replug)

I will predict 8m in sales lifetime in Japan. If it comes out in the west, 30m lifetime sales worldwide due to lack of high-selling Vita games.
