PlayStation TV (PS TV) is an affordable micro console and entertainment system that will enable users to easily enjoy various game content and PlayStation 4 (PS4TM) remote play on their TV at home.
This accessible and innovative product was released in Japan and other Asian regions as PlayStation Vita TV (PS Vita TV) on November 14, 2013, and has proven to be popular with consumers looking for a convenient, easy-to-use gaming system. Since its initial release, PS TV has continuously evolved through system software updates and content enhancements.
Adopting the same chip sets and system software as the PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) portable entertainment system, PS TV comes in an ultra slim size (6.5cm × 10.5cm), the smallest of all PlayStation platforms that connect to a TV. In response to the demands from users SCE will introduce the system under a new name and color, and will deliver entertainment experiences only possible on PS TV.
With PS TV, you will be able to play PS4 games in multiple rooms, via remote play. If you can no longer play on your PS4 in the living room, with PS TV, you will be able to continue playing your game in another room, simply by accessing your PS4 via remote play, over the internet. When combined with the ability to play a variety of PS Vita games on PS TV, as well as access PS Now when it launches in this market, PS TV is a unique, affordable and exciting way to play a wide range of PlayStation games including PSP (PlayStation Portable) and PS one titles.
