Will both Vitas survive 2014
The TGS reveal of PlayStation Vita TV quickly directed cries of redundancy at the original Vita, in spite of its Japan-only release. The outcry was with good reason; a markedly cheaper system that can stream PS4 games in addition to a smorgasbord of media content and play Vita games is a sizeable contender to the traditional handheld. Adding fuel to the fire, Sony Japan exec Masayasu Ito confirmed (via Eurogamer) that, due to unprecedented enthusiasm from the Western audience, Sony is “thinking of launching [Vita TV] in the US and Europe.” Sony Computer Entertainment boss Andrew House echoed this notion, saying the early Western response had been “very, very positive,” which encouraged an international move.
