Sony's PS Vita launches in the US next week, gets mixed reviews

Sony's second-generation mobile gaming console, the PS Vita is set to launch in the US on February 22, and web sites are already publishing reviews. While it offers great hardware, excellent AMOLED display and good controls, it's also expensive, has poor battery life and suffer from poor software sometimes. Basically it's all about the games, and time will tell whether this will be as popular as Sony's first generation PSP. The Japanese launch of the Vita was reportedly a dissappointment for Sony.

The Vita features a 5" touch Samsung-Made OLED display (960x544), a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor and a quad-core PowerVR (SGX543MP4+) GPU (Sony says that it is as powerful as a PS3), Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and 3G (AT&T, optional). Gaming controls include dual analog sticks, motion controls and a multi-touch pad on the rear side.
