So you probably heard the hype. Well it's all true, maybe. Sony is releasing the Vita next week and it sounds awesome. The system is supposed to be a mix of the current PS3 console with a portable touch-screen interface. With Sony's recent troubles with the company and restructuring under the helm of CEO Kazou Hirai this could be make or break for the once dominant company. Problems with the PlayStation network as well as costs to produce the system took a toll on the company as did the lack of communication between the companies separate arms. Projections hold that Sony may not be profitable again until 2013 and the company is hoping the new console, and possibly an E-reader in the future may be enough to get the company back in the right direction. If reviews do it any justice the Vita may be just what Sony needs. Cnet gives the device 4 out of 5 stars with an excellent review rating. Stating " The PlayStation Vita delivers amazing visuals on its 5-inch OLED touch screen that look almost as good as PS3 graphics." the negatives being some hidden fees in relation to apps and requiring a purchase of a separate memory card to play any games. I do look forward to getting my hands on one of these, look for my PSP on Ebay next week.
