Well the new year seems to have started with a bang for SONY we are barely into 2012 and already the technology big boys are tempting us with new ways to spend our money.
Sony's PlayStation Vita has brought about a huge excite in Japan,selling more than 320,000 product sales within the first couple of days of launch.
The brand new hand-held device is not going to hit shelves here in the UK until February 22 but an early import model has been reviewed to find out just what exactly all of the fuss is about.
The brand new touchscreen display device, is the successor to the PS Portable (PSP),and comes with factors connected with each of its competitors -for example the Nintendo 3DS, Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle.
However Sony Playstation Vita's greatest selling point is the lineup of games based on its big brother, the PlayStation 3, which includes Call Of Duty and FIFA 12.
Nintendo launch the
Wii U, a brand new successor to the
Nintendo wii console, later in 2012..
However Sony bosses are actually confident the Vita will over shadow its competition.
The item contains tilt controls such as the iPad 2's gyroscope characteristic. In addition, it gets from the 3DS - using increased reality introducing images of your real-life pals and surroundings in your gaming encounter.
Such as the
Amazon kindle, there are 2 different models, according to internet online connectivity. There is a wi-fi only version as well as a top-end model boasting 3G, for internet and gaming on the go.
The
Sony Vita's retail price is £229.99 for the wi-fi-only model,
with the 3G model starting at £279.99.
The item features 2 analogue control sticks - the first for any handheld controller - in addition to user-friendly touchscreens for both the front and BACK of the product.
The most impressive point about the Vita is the ability to allow gamers play online against
PS3 users as well as other Vita owners.
Gaming aside, you can even listen to music, browse the net, make use of the Vita like a digital camera, talk to friends using a "group chat" function and stream content from your Playstation 3 - which includes TV.
Which means for those who have a wi-fi connection, you can watch Eastenders or match of the day from any location anywhere in the world. Earlier handheld releases which includes Vita predecessor the Sony Psp have obtained varying reviews - the primary complaint being insufficient top games.

Probably the most notable is actually a brand new release from Sony's stunning Uncharted series - with Uncharted: Golden Abyss launching solely on the Vita.

FIFA and
Call Of Duty have both focused on releasing a title for the Vita this year.
