No, PSP Go was always a terrible idea and poorly executed. Heck, it cost more than a PSP which instantly killed it.

Vita is exactly 2x the resolution of the PSP ya.

Uncharted is unlikely to work even with mapped controls because it also uses the camera.
Vita with PS+ supports automatic cloud saves right now.

Because Vita TV trueHD will come 1 year after, and Vita TV 4K at 2015

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Considering my Vita already does, your wish is likely granted. Should be awesome!
CAN play a range of Vita games, there's a list of day one compatible titles: http://www.jp.playstation.com/psvitatv/game/psvitalist/

I know. I was just responding that not everyone cares about portability so there's a market for both.
People who game a ton and like gaming on the go, on a portable while others are using the TVs in the house etc. can do so on the Vita. People like me who don't like portable gaming can have this as an option.
I'll have to wait and see how many games I want are playable on it once it comes to the US and make the call that way. The media streaming is moot for me as we already have so many gadgets in the house that can do Netflix, Amazon etc., so it will come down the gaming and PS4 streaming for me (after I get a PS4 next year anyway).

Yeah, POORLY. Not as bad as AC: Liberation, which was straight-up broken (as in half the time I couldn't actually get it to work and had to cheese it by randomly pointing it at light and dark things until it finally decided to work). Honestly, if I were Sony, I'd get Bend to patch that stuff out or make it optional.

This is blowing my mind the more I think about it.
IMO, the main reason why the Vita isn't selling is because it's a handheld, and people outside of Japan much rather prefer home consoles. So instead of weak moves like Vita with TV out, or simple price cuts, Sony is attacking the heart of the issue. They're making a home console based off the Vita platform and selling it for pennies. The idea is brilliant. Now let's see if they execute.
Reading fail, I though you said Doesn't

Make no mistake, this thing does not market to the casual as much as us here talking about it. When they start marketing you can bet they will make all the functions clear. I would rather have it sooner than later but if it launches before mid 2014 then I would be just fine with that here in the US. I certainly am not confused about what this thing is meant for and I do not think your average consumer even knows what this thing is as it was just announced less than 12 hours ago.

Um I just said Sony did not handle it right. But it did what Sony is doing with the Vita much better because you had one single device which could act as a portable console OR a mini home console for your tv.
We will get fucked over. It's £60 in Japan. It'll be over a hundred when it's launched here.
It's region free. I'll be importing.

Wow that's actually awesome then
I might actually start a collection of physical vita games
Keep this thing and the games around and I can play them forever
If Sony sells it right they may have just announced the most affordable mainstream game console to date
I mean the ramifications could be huge
But so much depends on how they sell it
Or maybe a ps3/4 Wiiu xbox 360/One?

This. It'll basically never be utilized in a big game ever again.
I haven't seen that - granted I missed about 40 pages of the thread. Is it confirmed to be region free?
Excellent for crossbuy IMO.
You'll have a second system that will pretty much double its library depending on how many titles you buy.
One of the main selling points mate
Yeah, I think tech-versed people will have no problem with this but when they are launching their flagship console I think they want things to be simple to the average dude.
Launching this at the same time creates too much noise, I mean, did they ever get the remote play idea across effectively in the past?

The name PSVITA TV just sounds like an accessory for the Vita to put on the TV, people won't know it's a separate console, and more importantly won't know about the 'PS4 to go' functionality. Hey i love the product but i can't see Sony put too much money marketing this thing. Also they should have just named it PSTV or PSVIT4 lol

The New Super Gameboy. Honestly I've been wanting to get a vita for persona 4, but now I can just get this instead!

So, whats the memory situation with this? Is it using the same Vita memory cards? Is it known yet if I can popped the memory card from my vita into the VitaTV and back again without any issues?
Didn't they specifically say it allows remote play for PS4?
That's the main appeal for me. PS4 in the living room on the Kuro, VitaTV in the bedroom on my 40" sammy LCD, and a damn good chance I'll get a second VitaTV to put in the basement on my Sony WEGA HD for old school PS1 and PSP titles that will benefit from the CRT.

Nothing but good. I can now play something like Minecraft on the PS4/PS3/PSV/PSVTV and liekly have cross save functions. A better example might be Rogue Legacy though. That is sure to even have cross play between your Vita and PS4.
I just had this though so bare with me
Imagine if you can do cross play with Vita and PS4 games ala Guacamelee but your PS4 is in your bedroom and the PSVTV is in your living room. That's another potentially possible possibility. It's possimpible!
Price would become the issue there, you add in all that tech and suddenly it costs $200.
It's assuming you already have a DS3.
Do you own a DS3? Then go with the $100 dollar version, but you will need to buy a Vita memory card for it.

You have to get the controller separately. It's a good option to have since a lot of people already have a DS3.
