Sony sold 160,000 Vita consoles in the US from November 19 to 25

Sony offered some nice discounts for the PSP Vita portable gaming console for Black Friday, and the company announced today that they sold 160,000 Vitas from November 19 to 25. Sony sold over 2 million consoles already (selling around 250,000 in a month worldwide). It costs $249 for the Wi-Fi model and $299 for the 3G model, and Sony offered the Wi-Fi bundle for $199 (including the Uncharted Dual Pack, inFamous Collection and PS Plus trial).

The Vita features a 5" touch Samsung-Made OLED display (960x544, apparently with green PHOLED), 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.
