As expected, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan opened the proverbial floodgates in regards to its PSP successor, officially called
PlayStation Vita, during its Tokyo Game Show 2011 press conference last night.
The most interesting and pertinent information to come from said presser, according to yours truly:
1. The system's battery will provide users between three and five hours of entertainment "depending on the brightness of the screen, what content being played and if the network (3G/Wi-Fi) feature is being used or not."
2. Twenty-six PS Vita games will be available at launch,
or so Sony says. (I'm more than willing to bet that these games will be released during the system's "launch window"--i.e., its first few months--rather than on Dec. 17, its Japanese launch day.)
3. Three of the above-mentioned games are new
Hot Shots Golf,
Katamari Damacy and
Ridge Racer titles.
4. More than 74 additional games are currently in development for the PlayStation Vita/PS Vita/Vita/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.
Given all of the above, are you planning to pick up a PlayStation Vita as soon as it's available in your region, or are you planning to hold off (you know, until more games are released, until the system is cheaper, etc.)?
Or maybe you're not planning to buy the system regardless of its price or software library?
