CCC Says: "A comment from Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House, which had been misconstrued to suggest Japanese exclusivity for the company’s new console, PS Vita TV, was today addressed by SCE Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida. Curtailing the overblown and misheard quote, Yoshida tweeted out: “For people wondering about PS Vita TV outside Japan, we are just saying now ‘PS Vita TV releasing first in Japan’.” Tacked onto the clarification were the enticing words, “Stay tuned,” suggesting that more news for Vita TV’s release schedule is on the way. Then again, Sony simply testing the system’s viability in Japan—a test which it has surely passed, having already sold through its Amazon Japan stock—is still plausible. Regardless, North American and European gamers were clearly dissatisfied with the micro-console staying in Japan, meaning gamers in other regions want to buy a Vita TV. The question is, how many? Does PS Vita TV have a viable target market outside Japan?"
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
I Dont know about the rest of canada/US but i know that I WANT ONE lol
Arnold- "RELEASE IT COME ON DO IT DO IT NOAAAAAAAAAW"
given the state of the economy, it most certainly will IF they push it out there as a $100 console parents can get their hands on for their kids. $100 console $40 games new, plus a crap load of cheaper indie games. it would be stupid not to. all they have to do with marketing is show the graphics with Most Wanted KZ uncharted, the kids games, the load of indie games, mention the ps4 functionality with the ps4, and then the price. bing bam boom.
Japan gets Vita TV Q4 2013, and the EU/NA regions get PS4. Sony will see both of their new consoles work in opposite parts of the world, then be able to apply the successful marketing tactics learned to the opposite in the coming months/years. Meanwhile, the original Vita will cry in a corner with its blindingly superior (to the Vita 2000) screen.
I want one now! At the same time I buy my PS4. I want to be able to remote play my PS4 games within my house.
If I have to, Ill import one. Just waiting on actual word to whether or not it'll work and support English.
Simple answer is YES, if they market it right.
If Apple TV can sell 13 million and the Vita TV matches it's features and plays games then sure why not? After all I can't think of anything Apple TV has that couldn't be done by Vita TV e.g. on demand services, streaming media from computers & YouTube. The last two aren't confirmed but if the Vita can do it then why not the TV version? Providing the price conversion put them at a similar cost of course.
