Is this the next PlayStation Vita?

Sure looks that way

A Twitter bot may have spilled the beans on as-yet-unannounced new PlayStation Vita design.

The tweet, published on the weekend by @trademark_bot, shared details of a patent filed recently by Sony Computer Entertainment for “a portable LCD screen game machine controller.”

That’s right — LCD. Not OLED. 

While it doesn’t seem all that dissimilar from the 2000 model, NeoGAF user Jignx thinks they’ve spotted what might or might not be a HDMI port … possibly? Maybe?

If you’ve yet to pick up a Vita, would the addition of a HDMI port sweeten the deal? And if you already have one, do you care enough to upgrade? (Spoilers: I don’t.)
