I love my Vita. I'd love this to be true.
Its like people arent paying attention the discovery going on in this topic
My understanding was that the attach rate was phenomenal.
it was a slow start but it seems inevitable at this point that the vita will put nintendo out of business.
Okay. The form factor is a PS4.
Sony switched from PIFA to IFA antenna to cut costs in 2014, before switching to using less sticks of GDDR5 RAM in the 2015 "C" chassis model among other things.

Just give me something resembling this:

I feel like this has been said a couple of times and Nintendo being screwed never panned out.Yep
If this is actually a new handheld by Sony, nintendo will be screwed
Because any that are true handheld fans now might need an extra few hundred to have both current handhelds. That's money that could've gone to NX games!What would a Nintendo fan have to be anxious about
People play and enjoy systems that don't win in the marketplace, or even spectacularly fail. I know I really liked the Saturn and the Vita's sharing a spot with it.How the hell can people hype for this after failure of original Vita's gaming side?
Standard Sony. The Wifi in their consoles is utter crap, and they continue to skimp out on it.

That does seem more plausible though. I think there'd be more smoke for a new PS handheld, but I just don't see one coming unless they can make PS4 hardware low power/hear enough to work for handheld configuration.Looks like the antenna is a dead end and kind of points to the PS4 slim rumors honestly
I just don't see Sony following in Microsoft's footsteps and announce two hardwares at a time. That would be stupid. How 'Slim' can they make the PS4 when it is already smaller than Xbox One S.Looks like the antenna is a dead end and kind of points to the PS4 slim rumors honestly

What if Nintendo and Sony are merging.
- NEO is NX Console
- Trinity is NX handheld
It all makes sense!
The above is about as likely as Sony making a Vita replacement.

As you have found out, yes Sony used PIFAs for the PS4. As I said, they are used almost everywhere. I looked at FCC filings for recent PS4 models and the original, and while the newer reports do state that the WiFi antennas are IFAs now, as far as I can tell the antennas haven't really changed (they were PCB trace antennas from the beginning, can't get cheaper than that). While there is technically a difference between a PIFA and an IFA, all F-antennas tend to be referred to as PIFA, so all Sony really did was to update the description to be more accurate.Ok do any of the PS4 models use PIFA?
Those FCC filings should still be available and explicit
Either way you make good points and I think some PS4 used this antenna type
The only noted difference between the CUH-11XXA and the original CUH-10XXA model appears to be in its WLAN transceiver component (basically the Wi-fi part). While the basic specs are the same, the original Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) has been replaced with an Inverted-F Antenna (IFA)."
That can indeed be considered a PIFA, although the ground plane is quite small compared to the radiator. That is the Bluetooth antenna by the way, there are two more PIFAs that are used for WiFi.So if my understanding is correct the original PS4 has a PIFA antenna and it looks like this?
Is this considered a PIFA antenna? Ive taken apart my launch PS4 and the antenna is quite large

Replace the rear touch with proper shoulder buttons and it's day 1. I love the Vita and can't see a future console without a portable remote play counterpart.
As disappointing as Sony's support for Vita has been, it doesn't make sense to just cede that entire hardware sector to Nintendo after Vita's moderate success in Japan (mainly buttressed by third parties).
Even a slight power boost (enough to support UE4) and extra buttons in a hypothetical PS Vita Plus would at least keep the existing (and very hungry) fanbase happy and maintain some baseline of support from publishers like Namco, K-T, and Sega in Japan that would otherwise be all-in on NX.
How the hell can people hype for this after failure of original Vita's gaming side?
I hope it's for a slim model released alongside Neo. A new Vita doesn't make any sense unless Sony starts to dramatically increase first party support for it.

3DS won the fight, Vita won the night, if you get me?
