haha does it even matter? How much will it sell realistically? (at least 1 cause I'm buying)


LOL then make that 2 (already preordered on Amazon).

It's a Vita therefore it "should" count. It runs on Vita hardware, runs Vita OS, plays Vita games, and uses Vita memory cards. The only thing different is how it's branded.


You named only What it relates to Vita though, and even Sony doesn't agree its a Vita, why else drop the name? Name all the reasons its not a vita and it'll outweigh why it is!

Just cuz it did terrible in japan doesn't mean it'll do bad here. To answer your question, potentially millions imo


I honestly don't see it breaking a mil. What makes you so sure it'll sell?

I don't know, I just don't see it. Maybe getting rid of the Vita name will help lol. Hopefully it does well...



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Personally its not even cuz of the Vita games, its cuz of 2nd hand PS4 streaming. Havig to buy a PS TV alone for western market should catch on with this imo

Why not drop the name? It's not like the Vita's name as any sort of esteem in the US and going with just "Playstation TV" will help the average consumer recognize it as a device that is like an Apple TV. Doesn't change the fact that it's really a Vita and it's the same exact thing as the Vita TV in Japan.

You really have hopes for this streaming thing. I don't see it being that good at all and I say this as a launch PS4 owner. I've already accepted that I would keep my PS3 for PS1/3 games and use PC emulator for my PS2 games.  I think it's a wasted product TBH. Same as the boring TV shows that are supposed to help sell it

On Japan, yes. In West, no.

I'm going to say yes since it's Vita hardware. But dropping the Vita from the name says otherwise.


I'm glad they did - it is as horrible as the WiiU name.


Yup perhaps makes it it's own device now. Glad it's coming, now I can play PS4 in another room!
