"In the midst of Sony's jam-packed E3 2014 keynote, the company announced that it's bringing the PlayStation Vita TV to the U.S. and Europe this fall under the name PlayStation TV.\nThe PlayStation TV is kind of a cross between Amazon's Fire TV and a Ouya. It's a very small set-top box designed to play games and stream content. It can also be used as a way to view content (movies or photos) from a PS Vita on a big screen. Like other set-top boxes, the PlayStation TV will debut at $99. Sony will also sell a $139 bundle that includes a DualShock 3 controller, an 8GB memory card and a copy of The Lego Movie game.\nSee also: First Day of E3 2014: The Biggest Stories\nUnlike the Apple TV, Roku or even Fire TV, the real focus of the PlayStation TV is games. In addition to playing most PS Vita games, the PlayStation TV can play PSP games, PSOne games and will work with the upcoming PlayStation Now service to play PlayStation 3 games.\nIf you have a PlayStation 4, the PlayStation TV can also be used to remotely play PS4 games and content in another room. Both DualShock 3 and DualShock 4 controllers work with the PlayStation TV and up to two controllers can be connected at once.\nSony brought the PS Vita TV to Asia last year as a test to see if a low-cost console device would appeal to consumers. The company has continuously updated the Japanese variant over the last six months and will be brining the updated device to the U.S. and Europe.\n\nThe device itself shares nearly identical specs as the PS Vita, which means a quad-core processor, 1GB of internal memory and supported output of 720p/1080i. It also supports Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Although most streaming boxes support 1080p video output, the PlayStation TV matches up in nearly every other spec.\nAnd although Sony hasn't played up the streaming options on the PlayStation TV, the device in Japan supports a number of popular streaming services. It also allows access to Sony's own content store of movies, music and TV shows.\nThe PS Vita already supports Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Crackle and Redbox Instant. We would be shocked if support for those services didn't make their way to the PlayStation TV.\nThis has potential\nThe PlayStation TV has the potential to be a truly solid living room companion, especially if you're interested in games. \nAlthough other set-top boxes \u2014 notably Amazon's Fire TV \u2014 have game libraries \u2014 they aren't as focused or as vast as what is available for the PSP, PS Vita and PSNow. As a result, the PlayStation TV has an opportunity to sell itself as an inexpensive game console that plays \"real\" games (as opposed to games designed for mobile devices and touch screens with ad hoc controller support) that can also play content.\nFor PlayStation 4 buyers \u2014 or prospective buyers \u2014 the ability for the $99 PlayStation TV to act as a remote console in another room is also unique. No more forcing your husband to switch rooms so you can play video games. Who knows? It might even improve PS Vita sales. (We're kidding. You'll still never buy a PS Vita.)\nIn fact, if I were Ouya \u2014 or any of the other micro-console makers \u2014 I would start reassessing my strategy. Who in their right mind would buy an Ouya when a PlayStation TV is the same price, supports better controllers and has a much better gaming ecosystem?\nThis is what Nintendo could have done with the Wii Mini, if it hadn't made the idiotic (and perplexing) decision to omit online connectivity to its low-cost console. \nThe bigger question is if the gaming incentives can give Sony a way to take a sizable chunk of the living room. At $99, we think it could.\n\n\nXbox Game Trailers Released at E3 2014\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDying Light\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAssassin's Creed Unity\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDragon Age Inquisition\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDance Central Spotlight\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhanton Dust\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKiller Instinct: Season 2\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorld of Tanks Soviet Steel\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHappy Wars \n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Clancy's The Division\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOri and the Blind Forest\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvolve\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRise of the Tomb Raider\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Witcher 3: The Sword of Destiny\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nID@Xbox Montage\nA montage of indie titles headed to Xbox and Xbox Live via Xbox's ID team.\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFable Legends\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKnight Squad\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlague, Inc\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMighty No. 9\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpectra 8Bit Racing\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWulverblade\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHabitat\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGunscape\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrave\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCuphead\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHalo 5 Guardians\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunset Overdrive\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScalebound\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHalo: The Master Chief Collection\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nForza Horizon 2\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrackdown\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProject Spark\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLovers in a Dangerous Spacetime\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLifeless Planet\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKick Beat SE\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPure Pool\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHyper Light Drifter\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNever Alone\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNero \n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHellraid \n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere Came an Echo\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Golf Club\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n#IDARB\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoundabout\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWoolfe\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhite Night\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrees!\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuacamelee Super Turbo\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Even\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFru\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nForced\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChariot\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCastle Storm\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFenix Rage\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnother World\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nForza 5 Nurburgring\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuper Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, xbox\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
