The fact is it was developed for PS4, much more than PS3. The number of things we could demonstrate and prove was limited - there’s been some good examples - but now we go into the PS4 era, that companion device will look far more clear.

According to the Playstation hardware sales forecast for the current business year, Sony is expecting a drop in adoption of its portable systems. With the news that PS4 games will require remote play support, it seems that Sony may have launched the Vita a couple of years early, but perhaps it was just to give others a leg up by being early adopters. If Vita sales happen to go above predictions, then perhaps it will be true that they launched just a bit too early.
