Sony Reportedly Hard At Work On Cheaper, PS Vita Slim Model

[Foxi4]

I dunno, I think 2012 looks great for both systems; though the PSV seems to have the better line-up.

What I meant was that the PSV has "better titles announced for it" then the 3DS had at the same point of its lifetime, not that 2012 looks bad for the 3DS. Sorry, I should've clarified that a bit better.

Sony PS Vita designer Takashi Sogabe took part in a roundtable discussion with ComputerAndVideoGames.com in which he revealed that Sony is working on a thinner PS Vita.

This quote is sure to fill the hearts of the consumers with devotion towards sonys new console, seeing as sony isnt even confident with its own produt enough,so much so that they've taken their product back to the drawing board, how can they really expect the general public to drop nearly half a grand in total (console, games, memory card, accessories) on a product that ill say within a year (guess) of its US life will already have a new cheaper, smaller, potentially battery friendlier revision on the market. I spit on your corporate ways big tie wearing japanese man, and yes you prob do have designer glasses too

Did anyone actually read the source article? Because i have and it doesn't given me the strong impression that they're hard at work on a slimmer model...

Sony... maybe it's not about the hardware. Maybe it's about the software.

I really find it silly that people think Sony has an issue with software. They're able to compound a rather large amount of exclusives with strong third party support. It has the software to back it up, the issue is that it just doesn't have software that Japan wants at the moment. Once big Japanese titles start rolling around, we'll see how it fairs then.

exclusives that nobody wants ?

Yup, like Uncharted, Persona 4, Gravity Daze, BlazBlue...y'know, all the unpopular crappy games.

inFAMOUS, God of War, Little Big Planet, and all the other crappy games.

I agree with you.
I don't understand how it went from "Maybe it will become thinner in the future, but the engineers would have to come up with a means to do that." to "Sony PS Vita designer Takashi Sogabe took part in a roundtable discussion with ComputerAndVideoGames.com in which he revealed that Sony is working on a thinner PS Vita."

Was that unexpected? No
Unlike Nintendo, they are open about it .

Nintendo didnt wanna say anything about future hardware releases lol.

Read the actual C&VG article...this story seems somewhat over-exaggerated.

Agreed, read over it again, there's nothing to indicate that they're "hard at work" on it, it really states that they "have plans to do so".

Thank you for proving this, thank you for being this:

Nintendo fanboys are the most fucking annoying blind deluded biased idiots on the god damn interwebs

And man, did the mods suddenly go into retard mode?? Apparently they approve of trolling now. Just when I thought the temp couldn't get any lower.....


On topic
I hope it's not true, if it is, I'll just wait for the slim.

Read the C&VG article that the first post is based on. The guy basically says at some point we'd like to make it smaller if we could....don't know how that equates to a new model on the horizon. I'd guess you'd be waiting a while if you want a Vita revision.

In fairness to the mods, I'm slightly amazed I've never been warned.

I don't want a revision, I'm just saying "if" it's true than I'll wait, I don't want to buy one now only to be outdated at the end of the year (2012 holiday shopping).
That's why I hope it's not true

Nope, that's just natural Valwin, I don't think he's trying to troll, he just comes out sounding like one at times (trying to be realistic, not mean).
And I wouldn't say "most", if you've ever seen a Microsoft fanboy go off...it's pretty hilarious.

Back on topic, I agree with Xist, though I wouldn't deny the possibility of there being a "Holiday Vira" on the way.

Not a chance that there'd be a revised Vita that soon. Sony need to accumulate some solid revenue as they're in dire trouble at the moment....a price drop maybe, a new system not until the components are much cheaper which may take a while as they're all generally first rate.

Just drop the rear-touch panel Sony.

Leave the gimmickly input schemes to Nintendo, that's their job.

I agree, seems like a waste of money to me. And don't worry, Nintendo will definitely steal commandeer add it next generation.

I can't wait!

 

[rt141]

We haven´t even gotten the original Vita yet...

 

[p1ngpong]

I can't wait!

+1 this revision is well overdue

 

[Valwin]

I can't wait!

+1
