The PSVita aka PlayStation Vita sounds like a weird name for a gaming console isn’t it?
Well that’s how SONY wanted it to be named so whether you like it or not they won’t change it.
Everyone was waiting for the NGP aka New Generation Portable but that name faded during the E3.
Anyways this post intends to go up and up and away and provide the price and full specifications of the console,
