Who exactly is this marketed towards? If I'm not a big gamer, why wouldn't I just buy an Apple TV which does quite a bit more? Why wouldn't I get a Chromecast for less than 50 bucks? If I'm a big gamer, why wouldn't I just spring for a PS3 (or more likely already have one)?
It's more of a direct competitor to the Apple TV's and Roku's of the world. Not to mention Chromecast etc... Not to mention that for what it's supposed to do, it's also competing against the PS4, PS3 etc...

But its 100$ cheaper than the Vita, that is definetly impusle buy territory. It can do everything its competitors can do and it can play ps1/ps2/ps3/psp/vita/and ps4(remote play) games. Its not the same thing as a Vita its not a handheld, its a microconsole. And Sony would be stupid not to support it correctly, It has the potential to expand the PS ecosystem much wider than the PS4. |
Many people said that about the Vita as well and what did Sony do... Didn't support it... And not to mention, Sony will push VR as well and I doubt Sony will be pushing the Vita TV more than or as much as VR... As for ps4 games... Well, I doubt thats in the impluse buy territory and same goes for ps3 games that are using Remote Play... And we don't know anything about the pricing of Playstation Now and the games Library at launch. As for ps1/ps2/psp games... Thats true but I somehow doubt that people are gonna buy it for that considering emulators are avaliable and free
But alright lets pretend none of that was an issue and it was all handy dandy... The other obstacle is Marketing cause lets face it, Casuals Love Samsung, Apple and Google more than Sony and they don't really care about the Vita at all so theres that and Gamers don't care about the Vita either judging by the sales so I doubt it will do well but who knows, maybe it will be successful... Maybe Sony will finally give us The Last Guardian... And maybe Half Life 3 will finally be announced

The Vita is less popular in the states..... and it is flopping in Japan where it is more popular.... put two and two together.
PSTV != Vita

I don't think it will sell because of the space it occupies is a little crowed by "bigger" names and those don't sell very well. Also the last time they tried something like this (taking a portable and doing something different) it didn't go well either. (PSP Go)
| Pristine20 said: 1. Vita is dead in the states - Which is why it could be popular 2. It's useless to PS3/4 owners - I have a PS3 and PS4 and I pre-ordered the PSTV 3. It requires prior knowledge of good PS games. Anyone with said knowledge owns PS consoles already - I own every console except for the Vita because the Vita is the only PS console that can't connect to my TV. 4. It won't be advertised - Yeah, probably not 5. Too many PS branded products are relevant at present: PS2?/3/4/vita/portable and now TV. It's bound to get unnoticed by the casuals it targets with it's price thanks to all the PS jargon floating around - You can't say that the VIta is dead in your first point, and then say that it's relevant. You're contradicting yourself. The price point will make it stand out, especially during the holidays. 6. Portable games don't always work well on the big screen and it doensn't play all vita games - 95% work well enough just like all the PSP games. It's unfortunate that it can't play all the Vita games though. 7. PSNow is unproven, it could be a flop in of itself. - True. |

This^
They need to advertise it to not to Gaming crowd but Roku, Apple TV, Cable Box crowd. Sell it up to them with the added benefit of also playing big games and connectivity with PS4. Allowing cheaper way to get TV Show/Movie Watching/Game Playing in EVERY room.
But if Sony does what they did with Vita (IE: nothing) then yes.... it will flop.
