The Vita is also more powerful than the 3DS. See how that worked out for handheld?

This is most likely the new wi-fi chip for the Neo.
Where is the OP getting a new Vita from? And where is the reference to the a "Trinity" code name?

Well, it worked for Sega.
No. Think of those as modular parts of one piece of HW. I made the same mistake when I thought the FCC filings I found from Microsoft were for a Slim and a newer console. Turned out both were used in the Slim. One was the Wifi Chip and one was for Bluetooth. There was also another filing that tested the PCB where both the Wifi and BT chips were assembled on and that had also a unique number. So 3 filings for one device.

Hold on while we get educated on FCC filings
Thanks for looking into this!
So how do we tell the difference in the filings then? Would you be able to once again dig through them and distinguish whether these are for one device or multiple?

People will recognize the genius and contribution of the Vita one day. I don't think Sept 9th will be that day though.
Vita has (had) so much potential. I hope Sony does do something for it.

I don't know. It is plausible one of them is for a Vita successor or refresh but I doubt it.
Yes.
The idea that these new filings are related to something in the Playstation family of consoles isn't farfetched.
The idea that this indicates any kind of Vita revival or sequel is completely farfetched.

Seems weird that they'd make a new handheld after saying there's no market for it and pulling back all support.
You don't do that to your audience and then surprise people with new hardware.
Also, did the OP really just make up this rumor and the codename? Lol

Hard to say until the filings can actually distinguished as referring more than one device
Trying to educate myself on how all this works
There isn't a mobile chip currently more powerful than a top shelf Tegra. Last time Sony basically took a downclocked iPad 3 and shoved it in a Vita shell.

The only crumb is that the Wi-Fi chip's model number of one of the two hardware filings is similar to the Vita's.

Doubt its a new gen vita. They didn't bring the gaming division back to profits to waste all that effort on this.
Prepare you anus for those new memory cards

I guess it depends whether they want to leave the NX completely unchallenged in the portable space and the homeland

What will sell more, a successor to a console that sold around 70 million units or a successor to one that sold around 15.
Is that the question you're asking?

Wait until you see bloated Morpheus. (sorry Lawrence Fishburne)
Yeah as I don't think it would be clear cut.
The handheld market has changed since the release of the Vita, and I'd say the NX is more likely to tap into the 3ds market more than the Wii U market.
And we know how the vita vs 3ds sales war went....

Are they trying to make something like the NX? I'm a bit skeptical, due to their withdrawal from supporting the original Vita.
Let's see what this thing is...

Brilliant....and completely insane. Someone in the Sony boardroom needs to talk to the company drug dealer. First neo and now this, there's some bad gear floating around up there.
