Sony States the Climate is “Not Healthy” for a new Handheld

An enterprising hacker and user called “Mr. Gas” from the Hackinformer forum has released a method showing how you can tweak the PlayStation TV’s software compatibility with a simple hack and play games that it’s now not compatible with.

Sony’s Vita has occupied a unusual existence since its global launch in 2012.

Some gamer must have been really annoyed by Sony not allowing PlayStation (PS) Vita games to be played on PlayStation TVs, so annoyed that it drove him to find a bug in the PS TV code that he could exploit to grant him the ability to play Vita games.

Whatever be the case, thanks to the efforts of the hacking community, it is good to see that PlayStation TV owners now have more control over their own hardware and a bigger library of potential games to play.

“We worked really hard on designing every aspect”. Quizzed by a fan on whether the PlayStation Vita could ever get a successor, the likeable suit told a packed panel that while his team has enjoyed working on the system, the mobile sector is a different beast these days.

“So I hope, like many of you, that this culture of playing portable games continues but the climate is not healthy for now because of the huge dominance of mobile gaming”.

While many people will be disappointed by Yoshida’s words, he is correct in saying that the smartphone market is a tough place to compete. It has faced competition from both Nintendo’s 3DS range and the continuous rise of mobile gaming. Let us know in the comments, and make sure to follow Gamer Headlines for future news. Sony is seeing massive success with their PlayStation 4, despite the track records with Vita and PlayStation TV so whatever comes next will be nothing if not interesting.
