caption_attribution_description: The PlayStation TV, a microconsole released by Sony in North America in 2014. The PlayStation TV (model VTE-1001) is a very small system made from the same internals as the PlayStation Vita handheld, and provides a way to play select Vita, PSP and PS One games on a television. The console can also be used to stream content from a PlayStation 4 system for remote play. Users can use either a DualShock 3 or DualShock 4 controller. On the right side of the console is a slot for PlayStation Vita game cards.
context_page_description: PlayStation TV, known in Japan and other parts of Asia as the PlayStation Vita TV or PS Vita TV, is a microconsole, and a non-handheld variant of the PlayStation Vita handheld game console. It was released in Japan on November 14, 2013, North America on October 14, 2014, and Europe and Australia on November 14, 2014.
  Controlled with either the DualShock 3 or DualShock 4 controllers, the PS TV is capable of playing many PlayStation Vita games and applications, either through physical cartridges or downloaded through the PlayStation Store. However, not all content is compatible with the device, since certain features in the PS Vita such as the gyroscope and microphone are not available on the PS TV. Nevertheless, the PS TV is able to emulate touch input for both the Vita's front and rear touchpads using the PS3 and PS4 controller.
  In Japan, "PlayStation TV" was the name given to PlayStation 3 retail kiosks from 2006 to 2014, which consisted of a PS3 unit, an LCD monitor and a number of controllers.
