For me the PSTV has been great because I like JRPGs. My only reason for buying it was so I could play Persona 4 Golden. Games like Muramasa and Dragons Crown have been gravy.

Agreed. Right now, my favorite console is the Playstation TV. I don't like handheld gaming, but I jumped in with the PSTV once they reduced the price. It's a shame that it never caught on as Sony hoped, as it's a nifty little box. The graphics are about halfway between the PS2 and PS3, the cart format provides the quick loading times and durability that the RVGS team is always blathering about, the network connectivity allows for online purchases, patches, DLC and trophies, it supports both PS3 & PS4 controllers, does a little bit of streaming video, you can play PS1 and PSP games, and the box only draws something like 2.5 watts. With the new hack, the number of supported Vita games has increased by a lot and you can even do Netflix (although it's supposed to be a bit of a dog). I wonder how difficult it would be to produce aftermarket cart games for the PSTV? That would be a lot better platform for the demographics that the RVGS is targeting than their vaporware box.

I would assume it is something like the third version of the Sega Genesis, revised hardware with simplified chipset released at low cost for bargain hunters and developing countries
