I think Sony Vita sounds better than Playstation Vita. But I doubt they will drop the PS from it.

vireland · May 30, 2011

Surprised this didn't pop up so far.

apana · May 30, 2011

They should have just called it Da Playstation.

Ah. Didn't follow the youtube links. Thx.

"PSVita" doesn't sound bad, whereas Playstation Vita does. They can drop the PlayStation name officially, but still use the initials.

GG-Duo · May 30, 2011

Sounds wonderful.

Terrible name. Sounds way too close to Vista. Not a good look to be associated with that piece of garbage.

My name has a Vita part in it.

HooYaH · May 30, 2011

3 months later after release, no one cares about the name just like the Wii and 360.

More drama:

Two images were initially posted to one of the sites yesterday -- a Blogspot site owned by someone named Hugo Miramontes -- though the shots were later taken down along with the post. In its place, a note now sits, which reads, "This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever done. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry. I really am." We reached out to Miramontes for comment, and had yet to hear back as of publishing.

A cached version of another now deleted post, which originally indicated just the "PS Vita" name, has comments from the blog's author, explaining that the images are "prepared graphics for E3."

Lol Gaming Industry News: Writes report on supposedly leaked NGP images that get removed. Posts said images despite them being removed.

/runs an NGP focused blog that posted such images.

Now that it's all but confirmed, the healing process can begin... Sony Vita, PSV, Vita, psVita, Playstation Vita, Playstation V, Sony V, Vita, PSVita, VITA, VEETAH, PSVEE, THEVEE... eh, getting there.

Nice find though.

French · May 30, 2011

Cool name but it doesn't sounds like a console name.

Who cares anyway.

Plinko · May 30, 2011

Well, that about wraps it up. Vita it is. Interesting--I wonder what in the world made them go with the name.

Hah, I had the same feelings too. Unless, Ive been pronouncing it wrong.

[Nintex] · May 30, 2011

I like Vita actually, sounds different than the usual PlayStation names and it has a cool ring to it.

Jinfash · May 30, 2011

Wait a minute, I'm a little late to this: the correct pronounciation is "Vyta" (as in Vitamins) not "Veeta"?

KAL2006 · May 30, 2011

They should have called it Veeta, so no one pronounces it as Vi-Ta

OneMoreQuestion · May 30, 2011

So do you guys think it's Veeta or Vyta (as in Vitamins)?

Or do we just have to wait for the Sony rep to pronounce it during E3?

EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to it (kinda).

The suspense - I can't wait!

Really though, I think it's Veee-ta. As in Ryvita.

In the UK it's pronounced Vittamins.

In this case Veeta seems most likely, anything else doesn't sound right to me.

Takao · May 30, 2011

If it's "Veeta" they need to make a Vegeta themed version.

Well that's news to me. Guess you learn something new every day...

Busty · May 30, 2011

I actually thought that Sony would go with something non sensical like PSP-HD but PSP Vita sounds okay to me. In fact if you look at the potential portfolio of Playstation products Sony are offering it actually makes sense.

It might actually just show what Sony is thinking regarding naming future consoles ie no number 4 on the next PS home console?

Playstation 3
Playstation Vita
Playstation Suite
Playstation PSP
Playstation 2

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
