I have a Sony PSP 2000 handheld gaming console, in fact, I actually have 2 of them and I have used my PSP’s often. Now, let’s talk about the recently released (Japan) PS Vita, which according to sales numbers in Japan, sold more than 321,000 units in only 2 days. Compare that to original Sony PSP which sold more than 166,000 units in the 1st day and you may have a very good idea why this new handheld gaming console could succeed.
When it was rumoured to be in Sony’s planning stages back in 2009, I was salivating at the idea of playing a handheld with the graphics capabilities of a PS3. Well, now it is here and will be launched in North America on February 22nd 2012.
