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


PSVita and PSVita Tv share the same OS,the same menu and the same game so it should count like a vita

Vita is a handheld, Vita TV is essenially a micro-console.



It dosn't matter they are still both a Vita,if you chance the box of a ps3 it will still a ps3 because it has the same os,the same menu and the same games

But if you made a handheld PS3, it would not be a PS3.



lmao thats kinda true

Can you play wii u game on your wii?

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I'm not sure. The price is great but there is still one major problem that the Vita TV does not solve. Lack of games. It also does not help with the Vita identity crisis, and they still have not dropped those expensive memory card.

you can play wii games on your wii u, you can play vita games on your psv tv. Just saying. They are similar yet very different. Home console and handhelds are different. PSV TV at the end of the day is a home console with great feats with ps4 and more. But it loses its portability which is the main reason for a handheld. Its not the same.

All I'm saying is that Vita TV and Vita should all collectively sell so that they can achieve success. They are both Vita models. One is portable, one isn't. It's still a Vita.

he's got it backwards. Can vita do everything psv tv does? No. It is its own thing, and it sell because of it, despite it playing vita games. Is PSV TV portable? Then how is it the same since vita is a handheld? it has the same name, if it were called ps tv, nobody would of said it should have the sales added together!

but not a handheld, are a cell phone and house phone the same thing even if its the same? No its not. I know vita tv will sell well, dont get me wrong. But sales shouldn't be added together cuz then Vita+ps3 numbers should be added together or GCN+Wii or DS+3DS!

You can play wii games on WII U because Wii U emulate Wii but you can't play Wii U Games on your Wii that's why Wii and Wii U are not the same console,But PSVita and PSVita TV has the same game you can play PSVita game on PSVita TV but you also can  play PSVita TV game on your PSVita that's why they should track PSVita TV as a PSVita

To be honest despite having a Vita I would really like Sony to just discontinue it and put all it's developers into PS3 and PS4 game production, and have the Vita exclusive games like Wipeout, Uncharted GA, Gravity Rush, Soul Sacrifice ect brought over to the PS3 or upscale them to the PS4 at 1080/60fps. I know Sony want to relive the great times they had with the PSP, but we have to face it, it's not coming back, and they are burning so much money releasing great games on a platform where they will only get a fraction of the sales they would on a home console. Not to mention weakening the PS3/PS4 lineup. If you think about it, the Vita has really been a huge gift to Microsoft in the home console wars.
