>Sony

there you go

it's like asking why apple tv, steam machines, and cloud-based gaming didn't work.

noone wants it.
>>
memory cards
>>
>>334507360
The fact that it should have just been a tv output adapter to begin with. Why does the Vita have less features than the PSP?
>>
Nothing, it was just Vita but better because it was cheaper, so I got one.

Vita is shit to begin with though so I still don't know what I was thinking to be honest. Atelier + games I guess.
>>
>>334507486
But, cloudbased gaming can still happen! The power of the cloud will one day reveal it's true potential. Top Kek.
>>
>>334507360
No Netflix and not a bigger compatible list.

DID SUMONE SAI POWER OF DA CLOUD?
>>
>>334507801
Held back by Sony. There was like 2 days when EVERYTHING on psn pre ps3 would work on Vita and Vitatv.

Add expensive memory cards and killing support early. Even Nintendo allows sd cards and they have the weirdest peripheral shit

It's definitely worth $60 for the bundle now.

Literally what?
>>
>>334508047
More info on this? I have a PSTV and never heard of that exploit.
>>
The intersection of people who want to play Vita games but don't want a Vita is pretty small.

I mean, it's an intersection I occupy, but I feel like most other people who wanted to play Persona 4, Ys, and other super weeb shit would just have bought a Vita.
>>
>>334508165
Just because I feel like spoonfeeding since I'm in a good mood.

Nobody wants to play Vita games

>>334508383
PC sure does
>>
>>334508047

Wasn't that exploit patched like a month after it came out? Or is there a new one?

All I know is Memories of Celceta is playable without the exploit now, which is all I ever wanted from it.

"Oh you wanna watch Netflix babe? Bold on lemme do this 15 minute flaw technique that works 60% of the time so we can watch an episode of Buffy"
No.
>>
>>334508627
how do you release a device with TV in its name and not have a working Netflix app
>>
>>334507360
Take all the problems of the vita, and tack on a whitelist that should have been unlimited the moment the Dualshock 4 came out.
>>
>>334508508
Yes it's been patched. I hope everyone updates their already paperweight to potato mode like I did.

Ask Sony.
>>
>>334507413
Pretty much.

They only have a cult like fanbase when it comes to consoles. Everything else they make failed to gather a zombie like fanbase
>>
>>334508924
I dont get why millionare actors get mad at people/paparazzi. You make that money because people want to see you and the shit your in, if you want that money, you have to deal with it. Dont go into a position in the public eye, who also pay your salary if you want to be left alone in public.

Ill take Adam Sandler movie money to have people photograph me when eating.

That money isn't going to Sandler. Do you not know film production works?

>>334507360
Sony tried to jew their users(removed HDMI from PSVita to make a new console, memory cards instead USB storage, etc).
Retarded attentionwhore hackers.
No netflix.
>>
>>334512012
Retarded attentionwhore hackers are saving the Vita though
>>
>>334509846
sandler owns his production company
>>
>>334512952
All they did is make the PS Vita Mobile Devkit authenticate to another server.
>>
>>334514963
I didn't mean it that way ;)
>>
>arbitrarily locking people out of games using a whitelist when all Vita games run on it
I really hate that Sony did this. You could've just put "this game requires lots of touch control" and let people get a PS4 controller for those games.
>>334507486
The PSTV is a cheap Vita though. Why wouldn't someone want it?
>>
>>334507928
Christ Don Mattrick Microsoft was a rough time
>>
Gimping the library for it made people hesitant because why buy a game console where not all games for the system it was based on work for it?
>>
>>334508738
This. Hulu is good but not netflix
>>
>>334507360

This entire thing should've simply been a function of the fat Vita

it had the connector and all.

They had to jew it though.

Some games don't work all that well. Lots of error messages pop up or a screen rubbing section are near impossible.

>>334508738
Content providers are anal about the type of display being used. Netflix couldn't be bothered with making a separate version of a mobile device app that had to check if it was on a TV.

>>334515692
The PSTV was specifically put out to use up those fat Vita parts, and they still didn't sell enough and wrote them off as a loss.
>>
>>334516002

Exactly, they tried to make money on a budget instead of allowing the Vita to have a good feature, instead they went out of their way to dispable DS4 over bluetooth support and cut down the ability with other costs with the slim.
sony incompetence at its highest, try to jew the fuck out of the thing with memcards and shit while not willing to let it some functinality that was actually good and a step above the competition
>>
>>334512952
They aren't doing nothing, they're not even moralfags, they just know the second they release something nobody is going to care about them anymore.
>>
netflix exists
>>
>>334507360
Marketing.
>>
>>334508738
Why do kids need Netflix on every device in their home?
>>
>shitty marketing
>overpriced memory cards
>>
>>334518665
What's the argument against it? It's capable of playing media. Netflix is service that provides said media, and just so happens to be the most popular one.
>>
>>334518212
OP image is the Vita TV

Sony's TV service still exists and still sucks but it's called something with v and it's different from the Vita thing
>>
>>334507360
>No games
>Couldn't play many media formats
>>
>>334507529

Honestly besides the fact it couldn't play most games, I think this was the biggest reason it died instantly.

Would've 100% bought one if it took anything else besides their proprietary shit

Amazing how they say these shit with a straight face.
>>
>>334507360
Its great if you just want to play a couple Vita exclusives
That thing is cheaper than the games are
>>
>>334509081
But the PSTV is a console.
>>
>>334517443
See
>>334515060
>>
>>334518980
Most games do work on it though.
>>
They make it a totally different platform, missing parts of the system they REQUIRED devs to tack-on features for, that no body wanted in the first place.

There's nothing more ridiculous than you can't play a game because "touch to start" requires touch instead of any button.
>>
>>334507486

I know a lot of people that use Apple TV. Which is kind of stupid when most any modern device can do what it does.
>>
>>334516002
Didn't 3.6 add a fuckload of compatibility to the PSTV?
I can play PSP games and YS: Celceta now.
