oh.. PStv... one of those stupid things sony made that are completely redundant and solely represents money that should have been better spent making something else they make better.

The target audience is that of holiday season shoppers.

to play vita games on a proper tv, i bought it and im really happy with the product.

Huge bust.

This reminds me of something that the old Sony CEO said (He passed a way a bit more than a decade ago). He was the leader in the good old Sony glory days (you know, Walkman an such), and in an interview, he was asked why he didn't like focus-groups. Here's his answer: "We don't ask consumers what they want. They don't know. Instead, we apply our brain power to what they need, and will want, and make sure we're there, ready."

He was a true marketing genius. Among one of his close friends and "prodigees" was Steve Jobs. Makes me wonder where Sony could've been today if he was still alive. But alas, he's not alive and Sony are not doing good.

Yep, its going to be a huge flop cause it has quite a steep competition from Google, Apple and Amazon and considering Sony's unwillingness to fight, I say its DoA

Loll, shit, is it already out? I hadn't noticed

To play SOME Vita games on a proper TV.

Yea, the fact that it's limited in the Vita games that are compatible killed it for me. On top of that there are no media apps on the device, so using it to replace a Roku, Apple TV etc. goes out the window. But I was also interested in using it to remote play my PS4 in my bedroom. The straw that broke the camels back for me was the fact that unless you are using ethernet on both ends, the feature is useless. 

It's 2014. I use wireless for everything. I don't feel the need to rig my house up for ethernet connections everywhere.

As a gaming device its pretty shit and the vast majority of people who its supposed to appeal to will already have PS4, PS3 or PS VIta

As a TV box its needs to be advertised far more. Are any TV boxes selling well?
