Summary of recent news on PlayStation Vita

On June 7, 2011, Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) officially announced on the E3 its true face of a new generation of handheld game consoles. Compared to the news released in April, this time, Sony is much more generous. It is no longer just putting some pictures or images to appeal to people. Instead, it provides on-site trial opportunities and people are more looking forward to this product.

Let's take a look at the summary of all aspects of PlayStation Vita:

Renamed PlayStation Vita's "Vita" from Spanish, meaning "life," it can be seen that Sony hopes his handheld can better integrate into the daily life of consumers. Compared with the code name Next Generation Portable (NGP) announced at the press conference in April, Vita is more formal and more connotative.

E3 Sony announced a large number of first-line games, including: "Gravity Daze", "Unearthly Gold Abyss", "Volkswagen Golf", "Little Big Race", "Wipeout 2048" and so on. Also mentioned are its own programs "Near" and "Party". "Near" enables geographically similar Vita users to exchange information; "Party" allows users to easily conduct voice or text chats while playing online or using other programs.

Faced with the pressures of rival Nintendo, Microsoft’s game consoles, and the recent explosion of tablet PCs, can PlayStation Vita open up a new trail? Sony vice president Hirai Hiroyuki expressed confidence in this, saying that he hopes to surpass senior PSPs in terms of sales volume and speed, and plans to make profits within three years of listing. This is in stark contrast to the original PlayStation 3, which, according to the analysis, lost a few hundred dollars each time it was sold, and it would be profitable several years after its release.

Mr. Yoshida Hideki, president of Sony Global Studios, focused on the interaction between Vita and the PS3, which is very similar to Nintendo's new Wii U game console. It turns the handheld into a remote control with a screen and interacts with the big TV in the home. Perfect for family fun.

However, some people are not so optimistic about Vita. John Camarc, co-founder and chief programmer at id Software, believes that although Sony now has a powerful function for Vita, as smart phones and tablets become more powerful, such skills gap will not last long.
