Sony’s PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) is the company’s second ever handheld console to be released after the original PSP model came out way back in 2004/2005. For those of you who don’t know, the PS Vita is a completely new console and not just an upgraded model of the PSP such as the PSPGo or the PSP 3000 etc. With this in mind, does the PS Vita offer any innovative new features that might persuade original PSP owners to upgrade?
Carl Williams writes, "The Sony Playstation Vita is a marvelous hand held gaming device. I personally don’t own one, yet, but I have been fortunate enough to borrow some here and there from friends over the years. The PS Vita is also a bane for many independent developers that want to release games for it as it has not been opened up. Until now. The first release of a new crack that opens the Sony Playstation Vita to independent developers is finally here. Only took what, four or five years?"
VRFocus: Back in May of this year, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s (SCEE) Simon Benson hinted at the possibility that the PlayStation Vita may be part of the long-term plan for Project Morpheus. Since then, a member of Benson’s team at SCEE London Studios has gone one further, confirming that the handheld console is already being used internally.
Sony Computer Entertainment head Andrew House has admitted that the PS Vita's future is uncertain outside of Japan.
