Honestly, this thing should just be packaged in with the PS4.

It should be built in into the PS4

The PS TV could've been a big success. It could have competed with streaming boxes, while having the added benefit of playing Vita games, PS Classics, PS Now, AND being able to remote play PS4 games. Two things held it back. Not only did Sony NOT make sure popular apps, including Netflix, were supported, but they also kept the Vita memory cards. Had they switched over to SD cards and supported those apps, I would have bought it instead of a Roku for my bedroom TV. I'm sure there are plenty out there that feel the same.

It has internal storage of 1GB which is fine for retail games



How long will it take for Sony to announce a Vita VC on the PS4 or PS Now?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

I think Sony should re-release PSP & PS1 games on PS4.

Vita games on PS4 don't matter, MAYBE they will remaster for the PS4, just like Gravity Rush did.

Indeed, could've been a good incentive for people contemplating about getting a ps4 and/or a vita.

They're practically giving it away, anyway. It couldn't hurt.

Yea I've seen it go down to 30$ and even sometimes around 20$ in sales. It's crazy how they're just gonna give up some potential profit :/

A nice bundle could sell well.



 

It flopped. PSVita and PS4's sales in Japan have nothing to do with PSTV

Ignoring patches and dlc, which as you know, no games have.... 



Playstation TV was a good idea for all these people who wanted to play PS Vita games on TV.
Everyone who wanted the Playstation TV, has bought it yet. There is no big reason to continue with shipments.

Thank you Playstation TV!!!



With PSTV selling so cheap around $20-40 I wish that Sony would just incorporate the PSTV into a new PS4 model.
