Today Sony is taking one of the biggest and boldest moves in the portable gaming arena. They have launched the PS Vita, their new portable device that they hope will compete with other portable devices for your entertainment.

Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC today announced the launch of the highly anticipated PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita), the next generation portable entertainment system, available now in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. PS Vita delivers new ways to play games that have never been seen on any device, coupled with rich social features to keep players connected to their gaming community. With the biggest and best launch lineup in PlayStation® history, PS Vita offers more than 25 titles on day one, plus a broad selection of accessories. PS Vita is also launching today in Europe and Australia.

From what I have seen, the launch lineup looks very strong. Hopefully it will continue to gain titles throughout the year. I know that I’m looking forward to seeing what this system can do.

With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world.
