Oh wow I didn't think of either of those pronunciations. I was saying "vih-tuh" in my head.fadetoblack said:Cue retail confusion in pronouncing the name. If its based on the Italian for "life" it should be pronounced "VEE-tah" but we'll get "vai-tah." It's going to take some intense branding effort on Sony's part to get people to say it right. Downright Nintendo Wii levels.

Paracelsus said:Just call it NGP, without writing what it means on box or anywhere else. <.<
Tobor said:Vita? That worse than Wii. No way.
Call it Playstation NGP and move along, Sony.
TTP said:Not at all. Latin/Italian v is v like in "victory".

Krev said:Sony Vita (with a Playstation logo on the box and the console) is better than Playstation Vita. It just doesn't roll off the tongue well.
If they're worried about name teasing, "Vita" isn't the answer.Dedication Through Light said:Quite sure they would like to avoid NGP...or else we will have endless teases of "No Game Portable" and we know how that sticks and grows (PS3 has no games still thrives...)
Anyway, Vita sounds decent but I think PSP2 is just simpler. Their source didnt have info on the release date/regions?
Ezalc said:Well my Latin teacher lied to me then, not that I ever cared about the class.
Either way Playstation Vita sounds bad. PSV sounds bad, and looks bad because it might be mistaken as Playstation 5. PSVita is the best out of the three, but that's not saying much.
VITA, Correct.gofreak said:Wasn't there a rumour that the codename for NGP was Vita or Veta at one point?
Or it could suck forever, like Zune.SykoTech said:Not great, but not terrible. If true people will whine for a while, but then get use to it just like Kinect and Wii.
Tee hee, Wii.

acheron_xl said:It's better than Kinect and Wii. At least it has something resembling proper etymology.
That said, it doesn't sound particularly cool to me. Needs more gravitas.
acheron_xl said:Needs more gravitas.
I agree. And after the PSP Go, they should probably stay away from that name now.gofreak said:You know, PlayStation Go wouldn't have been a bad choice if they wanted to move away from PSP. If they hadn't already spoiled that.

Neo Geo Pocket?DMeisterJ said:I'll be kind of disappointed if it's not NGP, it's kind of grown on me...
I chuckled.TTP said:It also makes more sense to look at the NGP as a PSP "2"
2 analog sticks
2 touch things
2 cameras
2 expensive

this is the first thing that came to my mind when I read the thread title, PSV EindhovenAndrefpvs said:Damn, this. People searching for PSV are going to get shown a football club instead of a portable console!lol
It was never going to be NGP just like PS2 wasn't NGPS.DMeisterJ said:I'll be kind of disappointed if it's not NGP, it's kind of grown on me...
