The highly anticipated Playstation Vita, Sony's new handheld console, is to be released in the US on 31 December 2011 according to Amazon.com. Seems like Amazon is in the know whereas the rest of the world is not!

I believe the PS Vita will become a great succes. The game line up is huge and many games have actually been demoed and are playable. This is exactly where Sony is doing better than Nintendo. The abundance of PS Vita games, in combination with, in my humble opinion, some amazing tech in the handheld gives Sony a huge advantage over Nintendo.

All a hype, just like the 3DS? Yeah probably, but at least Sony's device will actually have content, whereas the 3DS until recenly was just some interesting yet unusable tech, leaving early adopters (like yours truly) empty handed and selling their 3DS's early enough to escape Nintendo's price drop.

The Playstation Vita boosts some incredible tech, like front and rear touch panel, gyroscope (ok so that's no so new) and an OLED screen. To my knowledge this device will actually be the first mass production device with an OLED screen.

I for one am looking forward to getting my hands on a Vita as soon as I can.
