Yeah its all good and such, but what they forgotten to mention, some Vita handheld only needed an Patch for the TV version, because the TV do not have an Touchscreen.. So, not all Vita games on Handheld was 100% compatible for TV.. that was the bummer

I never did get what the point of the "Playstation TV" was in NA, since a good majority of PS3 console users were already using their console as a combination game and streaming-TV set-top box.

From the name, thought it was a TV with PS3 already installed, which made it sound like the equally pointless Playstation 3D Monitor.

Not surprising, looking at Sony's dwindling support for the Vita. As much as I like the Vita, I think Sony should justsbstick to one platform from now on.

The PSTV is crap, and DQB doesn't even run on it, if it can't get a fantastic game like that to run on it, then it's time it goes. The reason people want a Vita is for portability, the PSTV is NOT portable.

There the PSTV is barely outselling the XB1

I really dont care about portability, I just wanted to be able to play the few games it had. Pretty much got a PSTV to play P4 Golden and a few others. Luckily pretty much everything not named golden is getting ported to either pc or ps4 (Danganropa, Gravity Rush, etc)

I love the idea of being able to play portables on the big screen, like the new fire emblems, but Sony had no idea how to market it. They really pushed that you could stream ps4 games to it and play them on another tv, which is kinda silly. I mean you can easily just move your ps4 and not have any lag. You had to dig to find out it was essentially a Vita-home version. They should have called it Vita [Big Screen] or something.
