Sony delays the release of their handheld console the Sony Vita

August 10, 2011

The worldwide release of the next generation in Sony handheld gaming is to be delayed.

Sony has insisted that the console will not be in the shops in time for Christmas but it will be in Japan by the end of the year. Sony had initially promised a phased global role out of their new handheld console but this now will not occur.

The Playstation Vita is truly the next generation handheld gaming console from Sony. It is touch screen and motion-sensitive it will replace its predecessor the PSP, or PlayStation Portable.

September's Tokyo Game Show will be the place where Sony broadcast the release date of the much anticipated Playstation Vita. However, they will have tough competition considering Nintendo slashed the price of their gaming console the Nintendo 3DS just six months after its release.

The Playstation Vita will cost around £152 for the Wi-Fi only version and around £182 for the mobile phone version.
