Support NeoGAF

[DrROBschiz]

I'm confused, how are you assuming a WLAN Chip has anything to do with a vita? Am I missing something.

It's a chip that allows for AC speeds (Faster than N and N+) which would be needed for NEO is you're broadcasting higher quality images (video) ala Twitch.

"A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using a wireless distribution method (often spread-spectrum or OFDM radio) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building."

Yeah thats what we are trying to find out

I think the Link was formed based on the certification of multiple WLAN chips but I only see one chip in the source

 

[OCD Guy]

It's a PS4 portable perhaps?

No difference in my opinion.

A handheld Sony releases will be dead. I'll be buying it either way as I love new gaming hardware but this thing will die regardless of the name.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Is this a new handheld or a "new" Vita?

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Talk about jumping into conclusions.

 

[Soldiussnaku]

I mean I want to say its just a simple revision but if you are gonna slap a 5Ghz chip into the Vita and NOTHING else?

They need to address the memory or forget this idea entirely. I have no idea what their plan is but I have to imagine its an upgrade in line with the Neo

A redesign would be on the cards, like they did with the PSP, and the 2nd gen vita resdesign. Make it more compact and lighter. Also, die shrink the internals, if they can, to boost the batery life significantly.

Maybe like others said, and I'm very skeptcal, even a micro sd casd slot.


If the vita was a decent selling product, then I would buy into the rumours a bit more on the new release, as it has been quite a while for the vita to be on market. But, sadly, it hasn't sold well at all.

I know Sony has re built itself around the playstation brand, so maybe just maybe this is them extending that family with more hardware. Imho, I find the wifi chip info more believable.

 

[Varth]

I believe, and so I will be saved when time comes.

*hums, eyes closed*

 

[Phoenixus]

Give it Micro SD support and I'll happily get one.

 

[Last_colossi]

OPs magnificent ass

lol yeah, I'll calm down and wait for some more evidence that confirms this has anything to do with a new handheld, because as I recall Shuhei said there probably wouldn't be a new handheld due to the smartphone market dominating the industry, I'm pretty sure he said that last year or so and I don't think sony would have created a whole new handheld since then.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Vita 2 or Vita revision?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It's a PS4 portable perhaps?

PS4table sounds cool to me.

 

[Obscuritas]

This is just mean.

 

[Regiruler]

Easily. People jumped to conclusions based on a thread title, a Google Translated source and an image of words without reading anything.

Everyone:

Shit, I landed on loose one turn.

Wait, "loose"?

 

[Kasper]

My heart jumped when I saw the thread. I doubt there's anything to this, but I wanna believe.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

These Matrix names for Playstation products is beyond silly.

Almost pathetic.

 

[Neoxon]

Vita 2 or Vita revision?

Likely a Vita revision.

 

[Bl@de]

PS NEO + VITA TRINITY = SONY NX CONFIRMED!

Spoiler

There is not even a mention of Vita anywhere in the documents. Just Wireless chips for possibly anything.

 

[awilliams213]

I don't get it how can you perfect perfection...except for adding PS4 controller support on the VITA TRINITY

 

[spannicus]

Id buy it

 

[Huddy]

Came into thread expecting new Sony Handheld. Left disappointed.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Vita 2 or Vita revision?

Maybe both. Or nothing.

 

[recklesscognition]

wow, all the jokes about the Vita 2 yesterday and now this. My heart can't take it.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Is nobody reading the OP? That's the first thing I did after opening the thread and I don't see any mention of PSVita in those pictures

Let us dream man!

 

[DrROBschiz]

Ok so the source says they certified at LEAST 2 modules

So Unless Neo is getting 2 adapters what else could the be for?

Possibilities

- New Vita
- Wireless Morpheus?
- Ps4 Slim
- Multiple Neo SKUs?

Who the fuck knows

 

[Graphics Horse]

Wait, "loose"?

Film ruined for me now.

 

[Jaruru]

So PS4 makes enough money for vita/trinity to waste

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

instead of the normal ARM coprocessor they should use a newer version of the Vita chip inside the Neo

 

[Neoxon]

Get Monster Hunter on this thing ASAP.

That's what the NX is for.

 

[djplaeskool]

If all this means is better wireless adapters moving forward, I'm all for it.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

IF this means that a new Vita or handheld is coming, then I'm not happy about this news and here's why: I long for a day where there is no handheld exclusive software. I like good games, but I hate playing them on cramped handhelds, and companies insist on creating good games exclusive to the things so I am forced to. Honestly, I had hoped the Vita was behind us for this reason. At this point I'm sure you're saying "But what about PSTV?". The fact that I have to hack the damn thing to play all my Vita games makes it a piss-poor solution. Once hacked, I am blocked from the store, so I can't take advantage of the new games that come out. If I update, I am blocked from playing half the existing games I bought and paid for. No, sorry, this situation sucks. I am glad for those who might be happy at this news, but I am not.

 

[Shizuka]

Thanks Sammy.

 

[diablos991]

Won't be day 1 on this unless there is a must have title for it. Got burned by the Vira last time.

 

[Bowl0l]

Day one if it's b/c with Vita.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Sony and Nintendo making NX together.

Dude Vita barely has any exclusive software, NX is being built on breaking that barrier

None of the evidence supports this will be the way it is going forward and Vita was pretty much the pioneer of Cross Play between Portable and Console

Sony and Nintendo making NX together.

Won't be day 1 on this unless there is a must have title for it. Got burned by the Vira last time.

Cross Play software seems to be the name of the game man... so i dunno

 

[RadarScope1]

This is ... unexpected.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

 

[Metfanant]

the plot thickens....

 

[TLZ]

Lol @ thread.

 

[specdot]

PSP: the father
PS Vita: the son
PS Trinity: the holy ghost

Amen.
I literally laughed out loud with this one. Gaf never disappoints.

- New Vita

Who the fuck knows

Could be a new ps4 controller with remote play and HDMI out built in. 🤔

 

[shandy706]

????!!!!!!

Do want

 

[Piston Hyundai]

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

 

[Cubas]

Sony and Nintendo making NX together.

Well...The NX IS supposed to be revealed in September.

 

[Jimrpg]

I'm all for handhelds now. Still playing my Vita plenty these days.

I just dont really need another big console box in the house especially when the PC does almost the same thing.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Yoshida said the market is not good for handhelds. I wouldn't get excited about a brand new anything from Sony in the portable space.

It does seem rather stupid for them not to do something unique with their tablets smartphone lines though. Maybe they are just trying to grow the PS brand more first.

Neo or Vita revision related is my guess

 

[fernoca]

Since people are a bit loss:
-Trinity was a joke of sorts added by the OP
-Certification is for a WLAN chip, like the one on the PS4

 

[BadWolf]

As cool as it would be, this makes zero financial sense.

 

[khaaan]

Is the dream already dead? Bummer. I would be all for a Vita revision but I doubt there would be many retailers interested in stocking it. I would be okay with having to purchase it directly from Sony though.

 

[McHuj]

Is this a rumor from some or just the FCC filings?

 

[jonno394]

I've read the OP and have no idea how this signals a new Vita
