Sony 'very encouraged' by Western response to Vita TV

4.6

Sony is "very encouraged" by the Western response to its Vita TV, the device that will be capable of playing Vita games and streaming PS4 games, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House told Eurogamer on Friday. The Vita TV is currently only planned for release in Japan on November 14, with later releases reaching China and South Korea.

House explained that Sony is launching the Vita TV in Japan first because "there is no existing competitor in the region for the device, whereas streaming media boxes in the West are more commonplace."

In a separate interview, Sony Japan executive Masayasu Ito noted that the company would have to "watch the environment and identify what other services are available" before they decide to launch the Vita TV in the US or Europe. Until Sony makes their decision, you can take the pre-emptive route and see which Vita games are planned to be supported by the Vita TV.

Well if they are looking to make a little amount of sales off of this product then your doing the write thing. I'm guessing if you really want this though you could order it from japan and get it shipped to the US (I'm only guessing)

Where was that? I think 98% of people on this site and another forum said it's stupid.

daRealRush Honestly, I think the Vita TV is rather pointless!

Its only good for... ah what am I saying your totally right. I am mad that they focused more on the PS3 than this. Why make something that you aint going to support for a year or so and then finally decide to use it when people get rid of it, and now they are making a New Vita. That's why I hate sony
