Sony has confirmed that it will reveal the final launch date of the PlayStation Vita at the Tokyo Game Show. As revealed yesterday, the company will not be releasing the system to North America or Europe before Christmas as originally hoped.
It's currently expected that Japan will get the system before 2011 ends, while we'll have to wait a few months at least. Sony boss Kaz Hirai has said that this is to ensure a strong launch library which, if true, is a very respectable reason.
SCEJ president Hiroshi Kawano has said that the date is "finalized", so look forward to that leaking ahead of the show!

but it comes with a free topping!

Agreed. However "PSV" is kinda win. Wish they'd just stick with that in the headlines.
Personally, I was hoping for a January release. The Gift Card season has become big for retailers, at least in the United States, and that's actually when I would buy it even if it came out in 2011. Amazon gift cards are what I ask for every year.
I kind of wish this was out now, even with a weak library, because since it has trophies, I'll play anything on it at times like now when I have no paticular game I really want for the next month.
Seriously, i'm already getting withdrawal symptoms and I haven't even seen on in the flesh yet. (lololol in the flesh lololol)
Too much Hype right here.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!

What was their inspiration? A bathroom sink?
