Sony PSP Vita goes on pre-order at Amazon

Those excited about the release of the PSP Vita should check out the pre-order page over at Amazon.com. The next-gen portable gaming device gets a $249.99 price tag.

Amazon places the release date at December 31, 2011 — more than 3 months away but is expecting huge volume of sales so they’re taking orders as early as now.

Announced back in June 2011, the PSP Vita sports some pretty impressive hardware.

      There hasn’t been any announcements yet for the Philippines, as is the usual; we’re not a significant market to be honest. But for the US it’s on February so maybe expect it later than that. Keep in mind that that would just be the official release.
      And regarding your second question, you can’t really compare the two because they have different targets/intentions. The Wii-U is a home console with the powerful hardware so expect the serious games/blockbusters to come out on it; it’s more on gaming on the big screen. The Nintendo 3DS, on the other hand, is a portable so the games tend to be relatively more casual and are designed to keep you engaged for when you travel or if you have time to kill while you’re out but the blockbusters would still be there.
      Take note, Nintendo really isn’t the best platform for really serious games though e.g. first-person shooters, intense rpg’s. So it still depends on what games you’re into and how and when you’re going to play.
