PlayStation Vita TV is Sony's new $100 microconsole

Japanese gamers will soon be able to buy the PlayStation Vita TV, a microconsole that plays Vita and PSP games on televisions.

Sony introduced the Vita TV early this morning during its pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference. The device is a tiny, Apple TV-like box that enables gamers to play Vita titles with a DualShock 3 controller. A future update to the console will enable the Vita TV to stream games from a PlayStation 4 console.
