It is capable of playing PS Vita game cards and can stream games running on the PS4 to another TV across our home network.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We always want to make sure that there\u2019s any new\u00a0 platform or device available, but with no formal announcement for territories outside of Asia, it\u2019s hard to tell. But I would expect it to become available when the European markets get it too,&#8221; said Dos Santos.<\/p>\n<p>The availability of the new PS Vita model in SA is also \u201ca little more complex\u201d due to the international release date still being unconfirmed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s still no formal announcement for our territory, but my personal view is that it will come at some point, but we\u2019ll still await that formal announcement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sony says the PS Vita TV will make its debut in Japan on 14 November at a price equivalent to US$95. The console is not expected to be released anywhere else in the world for some time.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More PlayStation news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"PS3 price cuts in SA?\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/ps3\/58978-ps3-price-cuts-in-sa.html\">PS3 price cuts in SA?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58354-ps-vita-tv-launch-plans-capabilities-elaborated.html&amp;sa=U&amp;ei=xbdOUuXUG8SJ4gSiyIFI&amp;ved=0CAcQFjAA&amp;client=internal-uds-cse&amp;usg=AFQjCNEaoB4cJ8A2d1NC95OahCCc-uJhNA\" target=\"_blank\" data-ctorig=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58354-ps-vita-tv-launch-plans-capabilities-elaborated.html\" data-cturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58354-ps-vita-tv-launch-plans-capabilities-elaborated.html&amp;sa=U&amp;ei=xbdOUuXUG8SJ4gSiyIFI&amp;ved=0CAcQFjAA&amp;client=internal-uds-cse&amp;usg=AFQjCNEaoB4cJ8A2d1NC95OahCCc-uJhNA\">PS Vita TV launch plans, capabilities elaborated<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/58847-ps4-in-sa-new-launch-date-confirmed.html\">PS4 in SA: new launch date confirmed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/58547-ps4-sa-warranty-details-revealed.html\">PS4 SA warranty details revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/58511-ps4-supports-hdmi-recording-voice-control-gestures.html\">PS4 supports HDMI recording, voice control, gestures<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/58508-5-million-ps4-consoles-before-march-2014.html\">5 million PS4 consoles before March 2014<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/58425-ps4-games-pre-order-price-roundup.html\">PS4 games pre-order price roundup<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ster Kinekor discusses the likelihood of the PS Vita TV console reaching SA shores<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":58201,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[21,1997,1870,1239,11296,1853,2752,5793,5794,9659,11411,71],"class_list":["post-58979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-headline","tag-mario-dos-santos","tag-playstation","tag-playstation-4","tag-ps-vita-tv","tag-playstation4","tag-sa-gaming-market","tag-sa-gaming-news","tag-sa-news","tag-ske","tag-ske-sony","tag-sony"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58979"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58986,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58979\/revisions\/58986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
