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.

LuckyOtter Well they must have been reading different comments because what I saw was most people didn't want it. I thought it looked okay but nothing I would get.


I would get the service to see what it is like as that is what I intend to do but South Korea as others have mentioned Sony can do better but they are looking for a cheaper workforce and that's what they have got.

beastmodexx55 WTF are you kidding me thats pathetic there only going to release it in japan because no competitors I thought Sony was about the people now this proves its all about the money pathetic company. Sony's PS4 Just lost a Pre-Order!!!


Ya its very stupid its going out there first.

Why do people on this website comment about something when they know not about the other facts, you see sony is releasing it in Japan first because they have to wait until 2014 to get their hands on the PS4 so they get something to hold them off until it comes out same with the vita 2000.

Real cool. One Pre-Order makes a difference, by reading what you posted I'm glad you're not on the PlayStation Community. You're probably a 12 year old that rages. Just saying.....

S Korea...seriously Sony?? Leave it too long and someone else will do it.

Jeff_Hardy I feel like that is going to either make/or ruin the console. I think it's kind of a copy of Xbox.


I can't see one console doing it and not the other it's competition for them both Sony copied this and that either way I don't care as long as the service is awesome and I think they both will be.
