Sony is going to have a truckload of indie titles on PS VITA which VITA TV owners will directly benefit from. In total there are around 1300 games ready to be picked up and played (PS1, PSP and PS VITA combined).

I'd pick a pure gaming platform game over an Android / iOS based game any day. 100% Controller support for all games, and the games are generally of higher quality.

Sony having 100% control of the underlying platform for the device for 100% integration with their other devices (PS4, PS3, etc) is far more important than supporting Android games.

I think this is pretty much the end for Ouya, come to think of it. Android is just too fragile as a pure gaming device compared to something that was built from the ground up for that sole purpose.

Other than just gaming, the ability to watch movies, listen to music, stream PS4 to another TV, instead of purchasing 2 PS4's, (e.g. one for the bedroom and one for the living room), are excellent features. Each of which on their own are excellent selling points, except you get all of them for the same price.

I think a lot of people may be underestimating this product. If successful, they are literally taking Apple's Apple TV and Ouya's market at the same time, as well as creating a new market themselves.
