Sony has developed a feature called “Remote Play”, which allows users to stream PS4 games on the Vita. Other reasons to explain success re the work culture of the country, where people don’t get to spend much time at home. Vita may be Sony’s last handheld console, meaning that Nintendo could have a monopoly in the future – unless the Vita sales in Japan continue to grow.

In past VR were more gimmicks than launchable platforms, finally it’s really here. It’s now realistic to do VR at consumer pricing, whereas before it was too expensive.

VR and AR are going to be powerful drivers in PC growth, as you need better hardware to run the new experiences. It will push the ecosystem of PCs and transform the technology landscape. Having major players involved will accelerate things, but considering a 10-year span before the technology is widely available is reasonable, as PCs will be gradually upgraded with powerful hardware.

AR on the other hand will be easier to play on the tube, and there’s more potential market for the technology beyond games.
