Since its release last year, the PS Vita has yet to find a huge audience, but things could change soon with the announcement of a new model.
Sony revealed the PS Vita 2000 yesterday during a press conference in Japan, a system that still takes advantage of the system’s huge library, but does so with a sleeker design. The system will be 20 percent thinner and 15 percent lighter than the current model, and available in six different colors. Also, the system utilizes a touch-screen LCD display, compared to the original system’s OLED set-up.
1 GB of on-board memory will be built into the system, although Sony is planning to introduce a 64 GB memory card for separate purchase “soon”.
The system is currently scheduled for release in Japan on October 10, though there’s no word when it will hit the other markets.
