It should have been named PS Pita and it should have been designed like a Pita bread.

I hope it's not the actual name. The more I think about it, the worse that sounds.

Not to worry. We're probably all going to call it the PSV anyway.

Who is ready to agree with Michael Pachter?

Btw. I don't think the Sony Vita is rumor. I've been working on the story for a while and I was short one source to feel solid on it.

Vita. Means "new life" in some language I don't speak, likely what Sony is selling

Presume they want it pronounced Vee-ta. But E3 will tell us more.

If @GI_AndyMc is right and they pronounce it "Vee-ta", it is truly the dumbest name ever. Sounds like a vegetable-flavored energy drink

@michaelpachter yeah the bad names just keep coming. And I'm bracing myself for what Nintendo will reveal as I'm pretty sure Wii is gone.

I just pray that Sony marketing doesn't have Ricky Martin re-record "living la 'vita' loca" as some "clever" play on words for the montage.

Horrible name and possibly a horrible musical ad campaign incoming.

It's gonna be great and I can't wait.... about 7.5 days till the festivities begin

Yeah, it's a pretty crummy name. It won't matter if Vita has at least one piece of software that really resonates with consumers. I still think Wii sounds just as bad. That didn't stop me from buying one near launch (2 weeks after). Wii had Wii Sports which basically sold it for 2 years straight. Twilight Princess certainly didn't hurt. I'm not confident that Sony will have it at or near launch and that includes Uncharted.

If they pronounce Veeta in Japanese it sounds like Beta.

Looks like it's all but confirmed for the actual name,

But

does not.

They should have kept NGP.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #657 on:** May 30, 2011, 12:15:48 PM »

Did anyone honestly think they were going to call it "Next Generation Portable"?

Vita is a dumb name. Do you know what else are dumb names? Wii and Xbox 360 and their dumb names had no effect on their sales. After the Wii's success I think any name can cut it unless it was on outright swear word or was called the "Hitler" or something like that.

Surprisingly the world is not as shallow as we all thought and will gladly buy a videogame system with a silly name if they want the games for it.

Shaymin · « **Reply #658 on:** May 30, 2011, 04:24:26 PM »

It'll probably get shortened to "PSV" and do surprisingly well in the Netherlands (at least among soccer/futbol fans).

PSV sounds like an STD.

Doctor: The tests came back positive for PSV. I'm sorry.
Patient: Are your sure doctor?!
Doctor: We ran the test four times to confirm. It's treatable, but you'll have some hardships ahead. Mainly the battery. It's going to die often.
Patient: This can't be happening...This is a nightmare.
*Random sound of a woman crying*
Doctor: We'll have to start your medication right away. Give me your wallet. Thanks. First things first, I'll have to rape it. You can watch, but it's going hurt you more than it hurts me, unless you have a razor blade hidden away in here.
Patient: I don't.
Doctor: Good. Very...good. Are these your kids?
Patient: Ye...yes.
Doctor: They're beautiful. And you might want to get them tested.

I'm not sure if anyone was actually doubting the Vita name, but here is more proof that that is what the next PSP is about to be called

So I saw the screenshots out there, they look good for a Vita Game lolololol

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #665 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:57:17 PM »

Instead of Vita it should have been named Vito, in honor of Don Vito Corleone from the Godfather. Then it could make gamers an offer they can't refuse.

Wipeout cross platform play is neat while interesting, it also ties the handheld to being a console port machine, not something to aspire to be.

Unchartered looks pretty nice, but screams waggle. Yeah, you got less buttons, but what happened to the concept of context sensitive buttions, because they are, well context sensitive?

The third video to a game I have no idea the name of annoys me for some reason. As unmusical as I maybe, even I know when something isn't music. I can't believe the guy spent 4 years making that.

Razorkid · « **Reply #669 on:** June 04, 2011, 11:16:27 AM »

I am now invested in picking this up when it comes out. What pushed me firmly into the "definite buy" crowd is having (mostly) all the psp library available and upscaled day one.

Between this and my 3DS, my gaming is going to be mostly done on handhelds going forward. I still love my consoles and PC, but i spend more time away from them than with them.

Project Café should be right up your alley, unless you don't game at home at all.

Look at Gerstman's fat mug, gobbling up that Wipeout at the Sony trough.

Oh, I am definitely getting Cafe' Day 1. I still game at home, but I find that:

A) There are fewer games on the consoles that interest me at all at the moment. I've been pretty good about playing every Wii and PS3 game (currently playing LA Noire) that I've cared about thats been released. Other than a few older Wii titles that I want to pick up, I have no real pressing need to spend every free gaming minute on the console. This is good because...

B) I have a GIGANTIC PC backlog of more compelling games to get through (currently playing Dragon Age 2 and Portal 2 ). So when I DO have time to game at home, PC is usually the winner. But all that is moot because...

C) I have my most free time when I'm at work. In between assignments I have a lot of free time, and handhelds fill those time frames quite nicely. Between my career change, getting married and having a kid, I've discovered that I've come to rely on my handheld for gaming than my home setups.

With that said, NGP will NOT be a Day 1. But I will definitely be buying one next year.

Razorkid · « **Reply #674 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:03:23 PM »

OMG!!!!! $249.99??!!!?!! OMG!!!!!

Day one now. Sony just threw down the gauntlet on the handheld front and I for one am gonna welcome the new found competition. Nintendo's got no choice but to stay on their A game with the 3DS and us handheld consumers are gonna benefit the most.

I love being a handheld gamer!
