IGN - With state of the art specs and gameplay experiences that rival the PlayStation 3, the PlayStation Vita is the most advanced gaming handheld on the market, which begs the question: why is its operating system so slow and unintuitive? Here are a few simple solutions that would greatly improve the PS Vita software.
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.
