Damn it the stream had to stop during Depp Down !
Cheaper that way, no doubt... Wonder what kind of LCD panel they'll use. There's a big difference depending on the base tech, but seeing as they've leveraged vita's colors from the start and especially in the PS4 reveal presentation, one can only hope they'll use something good.
Sounds like it will be $99. AppleTV/Roku competitor, plus PS4 game extender in one.
Dont see much niche for it outside the Sony faithful/Neogaf. Especially in comparison to a proper Android micro console.
What?!?!?! WHy ?
Yeah the only thing that worries me is touch. Unless those games will require a DS4? But it's a potentially brilliant move for a remoteplay teminal and for PS vita resurrection at $100 it undercuts the new 2DS. I just am in awe this wasn't leaked or even hinted at. Them Sony ninja's.
PA Vita TV could be 50 bucks in a year or two and easily upgradable with the latest tech should they choose to go that route.
To me this Vita TV is an acknowledgment that there is a market for cheap console that neither the ps4 or XB1 will be able to address anytime soon. It is a market interested in both social/casual games and core games.
I think it is another showcase for the console limitation and how software is written, Sony is stuck to the PSV hardware whereas I suspect you can now have the perfs for cheaper or better perfs (and then there is the amount of RAM).
It reinforces my belief that some serious actors are to enter the show hence Sony proactive (that is a good thing) attitude on that front.
