Sony has come out with a new handheld console and No! Its not psp 3. It's the Playstation Vitamin...lol....am just kidding......it's Playstation Vita.

It was launched on December 17th in Japan and is to be launched in Europe, Australia and North America on the 22nd of February next year. Sony announced that 33 games will be available for the launch. Some of the games include;
Fifa 12, F1 2011, Rayman Origins, Virtua Tennis 4, Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom, Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7, Touch My Katamari.
