Wii Mini and Vita TV are designed for "Travel."
They're cheap and afordable - designed for people who travel alot and still want console-level experiences on their Hotel TV, live in various houses or have a secondary holiday house, etc. etc. etc.

But the thing is Vita TV only plays Vita games.

Pretty sure the Wii mini is just meant to be cheap, likely for developing countries. Don't know why they launched it in Canada though.

Which Sony calls "console-quality" games.

You can't play the Vita on Grandma's comically huge flatscreen though.

That would've been a valid argument if you had the power to deny your grandma her soaps to play your video games...

Or y'know, just use the Vita so u can both use the living room...

well it makes money.

amusingly, this also fits with the microtransaction topic.
Exploit "the stupid" for your own advantage.
