GameZone: "The PlayStation TV launched just a little over a month ago. With promises of extending gameplay to your TV, I was more than enticed to buy it, just for the sake of playing games like Persona 4 Golden and Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment on my big screen TV. The former was amazing, but the latter actually didn't work right out of the box, despite already having compatibility in Japan."
The Twitch app has arrived on the PlayStation store for both the PS Vita and the PlayStation TV, due to hardware restrictions you will be unable to broadcast from the device however the app enables Vita and PlayStation TV owners to watch streams without having to use the browser. The app itself is 16.7MB and requires a Vita Memory card
If you’ve been holding off on buying a PlayStation TV but were planning on picking one up eventually, you better get moving.
If I could play EVERY PS 1/2 game along with PSP and Vita games I would have bought one.
Too much hardware on the market. Sony needs to avoid Sega's mistake back in the 90s.
If Sony intends to compete with a focus,trimming out unprofitable hardware and features is quite efficient.
Sony really dropped the ball on this one. It couldn't even do Netflix and they killed the YouTube app.
Got one on day 1 and I've only used it a handful of times. Freedom Wars is what's keeping it from collecting dust recently.
Push Square: "When the PlayStation TV was announced, this author was on holiday. It was poor editorial director Damien McFerran that was left to man the fort during an explosive Tokyo Game Show press conference, which also played host to the reveal of the PlayStation Vita Slim. It was big, big news at the time, with the microconsole in particular drawing plenty of plaudits."
This is the problem with Sony Playstation, fingers in too many pies. Just focus on games and supporting the platform you already have out there. They are letting the PSVita die a slow and painful death, and instead of investing in it, went to come up with PlaystationTV? Surprise, surprise! Sony didn't support that either!
When will they learn that gamers just want to play good games?
Well many reasons, a hefty chunk of vita games are incompatible, memory cards are still pricey as hell, doesn't come with a controller which is required, doesn't stream netflix even thou standard vita does, and most of all people really aren't that interested in playing handheld visuals on a big screen. Especially now that every vita game is also getting a ps4 release, sony is really just slowly but steadily turning the knife they stabbed it withat this point
It was a great idea, just executed very poorly. Hardly any exposure and not enough support.
Just another peripheral in a long list from Sony that has been unsupported and eventually dropped. This is why people should be cautious about PSVR.
Maybe you should wait a little more than a month before coming to this conclusion.
You could be right but it is too early to tell.
no , it is true , just u wait and see Sony troll all of the vita buyers . I gave up buying all their gaming products right after they troll us with the Vita COD game . I am super pissed on that shit
They'll probably just basically give up with this like they did the vita, I don't think I'm going to risk it unless I see continued support.
Takes a lot of work to refresh Sword Art's live area screen in order to play it according to the OP. This is just click bait. Don't bother visiting the page, it encourages more.
Read the article, people. That headline doesn't mean what you think. I'm just going to start calling headlines like this "troll bait," because they expose the trolling ways of people that didn't bother to read before agreeing with a criticism that isn't even present in the article.
