PlayStation Vita: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

With their two most recent systems falling below expectations in terms of sales, they decided to pull out all the stops with:

* Instead of using the highly custom console technology that the [[~~PlayStation~~ 3]] uses, the Vita uses common smartphone technology. This makes game development easier, considering most developers are already familiar to the technology and they are able to use assets from existing hardware ranging from home consoles to smartphones.

* This is the first widely-available dual analog handheld, addressing a flaw experienced on the PSP.

* In reaction to the growing small casual downloadable game market (such as iOS and Android), Vita features are similar to smartphones, such as a touch screen and motion sensor. [[Sony]] will also provide PS Suite, which will allow users connectivity between the Vita and a smartphone/tablet.

Line 14:

* The price is $249 for the wi-fi only model and $299 for the model with 3G support.

This is of course in addition to the system's pure power. Hands on impressions with the handheld from E3 say its output is almost as good as the [[~~PlayStation~~ 3]].

Another feature of the hardware is the inclusion of a touch-sensitive pad on the back of the system. The first application was shown at the debut of the system demonstrating Nathan Drake of ''[[Uncharted]]'' climbing a vine. Sliding your fingers down the touch pad would cause Nate to ascend the vine. The system also sports an OLED screen (which is normally seen in smartphones) at four times the resolution of the PSP.
