This alone may be the reason for a Sony Playstation Vita. Now how about Final Fantasy XIV? That'll seal the deal! Once again, Sony is setting the Vita to be the ultimate Playstation 4 accessory. https://twitter.com/Diablo/status/400073137590530048
Now, which version Vita should I buy? Generation 1 with the OLED or Gen 2 that's slimmer, standard charger, lighter but powered w/ an LCD screen.
The fact that this box alone will do remote play for PS4, that's pretty awesome! Never mind that it can play Playstation Vita games (I don't own any) but I can see it spawning more sales! It's going to give Apple TV a run for its money if it allows streaming from iOS too. Hopefully we'll know more soon. http://youtu.be/rG5l78gbvpU
Oh hey, and if you've been thinking about buying a Playstation Vita, they're getting rid of the OLED screen in favor of LCD. Its also 20% thinner, 15% lighter plus they squeezed out an additional hour of battery life! Among other requests, you can also built in 1 GB memory and a micro USB charger. Maybe I'll be Vita-ing soon.
If you want an iDevice sans cellular network, this is your answer. Granted Nintendo's 3DSXL and Sony's Playstation Vita come in at $100 less and up to $50 less causing me to question Apple's price point. Is this new iPod Touch more valuable than the other two gaming companies current offerings? I personally don't think so but that's because I already have an iPhone 5.
If you’re looking for a device like the iPod touch, buying this year's model is an absolute no-brainer, but I’d bet more people are going to think twice before laying out $300.

The fact that I wasn't in line nor a first day adopter says a lot about Sony's losing appeal. No, I don't represent the masses, but if you knew me, you'd know I'm usually the first to be in line the night prior. This time around, I've skipped multiple consoles in favor of iOS devices and I'm going to sit back and wait to see how the upcoming months shape the Vita.
It's not perfect, but it can become a must-have machine. It just needs to evolve and take steps in the right direction.
