Thats it take your Jibe, keep at it, because unlike you it seems Sony's not giving up on the playstation Vita as a platform like so many gamer's it seems has.
The fact they are Relaunching the PSVita as Playstation TV with a starting price of $99.00
in a Market that Nintendo will or Microsoft will not have a presence in!
and Apple TV's and Google TV boxes like the Amazon Fire TV will now have a very strong contender for that part of the market a
"Playstation TV" on name alone may infact challenge Apple for the most purchased Box for the streaming content Box'es of Microso Consoles that sit under TV sets or Hell included right inside the TV itself.. IE" a Playstation TV included with a Bravia from the get Go.
Keep laughing go right ahead, while many people are so quick to write off this platform, Sony May have just disrupted a Market AREA Microsoft has tried and Apple, Google and every other comapny has tried and really faild to attain a real solid leadership role in that area, with Movie studios, music and now games is it any wonder D@n Loebe and other's wanted Sony to sell stock in the entertainment arm? its also any wonder Sony told them to take a Hike about offering the entertainment arm upfor sale!
So you and others can keep laughing and making your jibes about the the platform all you like Sony has indeed shown they are not giving up support for that platform, no matter how many times we keep people saying it, just like but..but its dead..lmao there is no way its going to survive, now going on three years and its still here, with now more investment into the platform.

I was referring more to this: http://news.cheatcc.com/articles/394159
"With Remote Play, Vita has now essentially become an extender or an enhancer for the main platform for other rooms in the house, or when someone else wants to use the main screen."
To me that sounds like giving up. Making a $200 console an accessory for people to use when the TV is busy. Basically saying that Sony will not bother making games for it. Every time someone asks them about games for Vita, the answer is: "There are plenty of games. On PS4, which you can play on your Vita".
Vita TV is a half-assed product that will do close to nothing on the market, the same way the other products have failed. If any company has a shot, it's Amazon. Vita TV has nobody to market to, except people who already have a Vita and would like to play the games on a big screen.
If I wanted something for another room to stream content, I might as well get a PS3. Or get Chromecast for a 3rd of the price. Because Vita TV is $99 only for the people who already have PS3 or PS4 and are in such family situation that their console is under the main TV, but they are often relegated to the room. Otherwise, new entrants are paying $140, they might as well buy an X360 and have a ton of apps and many games to choose from for the same price.
EDIT: 10 million? In a year? They will crap double rainbows if they are able to sell ONE million. Total! We have seen the incredible amount of interest Remote Play has garnered so far. 3,5 million PS4s sold in the US, and less than 100.000 Vitas in the same period. Most of which, I'm fairly certain, DO NOT use Remote Play. It's a great feature, but like Vita, is underrepresented and neglected.
