At the Sony PlayStation Japan press conference this evening, Andrew House took the stage to announce the Sony PlayStation Vita TV.
Adopting the Sony PlayStation Vita hardware, the PlayStation Vita TV is a tiny device that can connect to a television and allow it to do nearly everything you’d expect a Vita to do. That includes video and network service, cross play, and streaming PlayStation 4 games to other televisions in your household. The PS Vita TV will also be compatible with the Sony DualShock 3 controller, allowing you to play PS Vita games on your big screen while using a PS3 controller. In addition, it will also be able to stream handheld games to your television, such as PSP and original PlayStation titles.
It will be available in Japan starting November 14, 2013 at 9,480 yen. A bundle was also announced that comes with a DualShock 3 controller and 8 GB Vita memory card for 14,280 yen. Unfortunately, no information on a U.S. release was announced, though this could be Sony’s answer to Apple TV while delivering classic PlayStation games to your television.
Watch a trailer on the PS Vita TV below.
