The article is from Motley Fool, so take with a grain of salt, but it's surprisingly well written and looks at a different angle than most people have probably thought about.

Well you can play a whole mess of PS1,2,3 and your PS4 on it can't you? Isn't that reason enough to get one?
-
It will fail as long as it's an add on to the PS4. Sure, if you own a PS4 it makes some sense of you're in the market for a set top box. If you don't own a PS4 you won't buy one. What would you do? Play Vita games for it?
-
Is anyone ever going to buy or use this thing? I feel like it's a very bad idea on their part.
-
It's great that they have TV and all, but do they also have Sports and Call of Duty?
-
I know.
-
Because it's Sony
-
Vamp. You misspelled will. There's no m, a, or y in will.
-
lol it's not going to fail
-
Fail or not. No use for me. Needs to be put in the trash like Kinect.
-
I've used my One to watch TV like twice. Whether it be on the One or PS4 I doubt many will use it regularly seeing they bought the consoles to play games.
-
It already failed in Japan
-
What is PlayStation TV?
-
WELCOME ALL TO THE SONY KINEC-TV YEAH, BUY THIS SONY TV STUFF, IT WORKS GREAT AND TOTALLY ISNT A GIMMICK

It's a silly gimmick, it's a nice idea in theory but it's just not going to be a big thing by any means. I don't care about it at all, I'm happy with the PS4.

Isn't the PSTV also only usable on a Sony television?
-
The PSTV doesn't actually allow you to watch TV, people. It's basically a way to play Vita games on your TV + stream media-- an Roku box that plays much better games. Based on the hype this thing had when first announced, I'm surprised it didn't do better in Japan. They didn't even have plans to bring it to the States, so I wonder what made them change their minds; it's not like the OUYA has proven there's a market for microconsoles, or that the Vita has been a huge success. Since this is basically a streaming box, it seems like it wouldve been smarter to release it alongside some PlayStation programming and PS Now. Until then, it's not really good enough for gamers or... Netflix watchers.
-
It almost certainly will fail.
-
I was multitasking around the part where the games stopped and The Penguin was talking about his comics so I don't know much about it
-
TV should never be thrown in with gaming. This is the sort of thing that made gamers hate Microsoft, so why are Sony doing it?
-
Edited by DEZARATH: 6/18/2014 2:38:43 PMWhat's up with consoles makers wanting to control tv? Just carry the Netflix App and you win the front room.
-
People actually care about PSTV?
-
hurr durr pstv will be better than xbawkzes
-
My main deal with Pstv is that it doesn't appeal to me much. It's just one of those eh whatever deals.
