Sony dev site going by “Vita” name uncovered

Sony, please… Don’t call it Vita.

It’s super retarded.

All I read is ‘Pita’.

@1
If this was any other product, nobody would bat an eyelid at the name ‘vita’. Example: a new smartphone, the ‘Samsung Vita’.

There’s not much in a name anyway. I’d happily buy a product called the ‘Playsation fuckfister’ if it was a good bit of kit, and had good games.

Also, are we pronouncing this ‘Vee-ta’ or ‘Vie-ta’? I’m more inclined to think the latter, due to ‘vie-tality’.

The market analysts speculate NGP might be dead on arrival, due to huge competition of mobile phones in the mobile gaming market, and now Sony adds another nail in the coffin by calling it “Vita”.

I will definitely buy NGP, but will have a problem going to a shop and saying “I’d like to buy Vita”.

Then again, “Vita” meaning “life” might suggest Sony is trying to tell you “Get a life”

@3

Vee-ta, I’d imagine.

Or maybe Vit-ah?

Hmm.

@Erthazus

So you must have a serious problem with Nintendo’s system bro. Did you know the original name for the Nintendo Wii was “Revolution”? Now, I think we all can agree that the name “Wii” is a pretty bad name for anything. So calm down bro, it’s not that serious. Besides, the name is not any less retarded than the bullshit that you spread on this site on a day to day basis when there is any news about Sony.

@4, “Then again, “Vita” meaning “life” might suggest Sony is trying to tell you “Get a life””

ahaha I expect hillarious adds.

Kevin Butler: Get a “life”, BIA-ATCH!

“The market analysts speculate NGP might be dead on arrival, due to huge competition of mobile phones in the mobile gaming market, and now Sony adds another nail in the coffin by calling it “Vita”. ”

Not true at all. first of all NGP is a gaming system. It’s not a mobile platform and NGP is going to have AAA titles while Mobile phones not so much.

Ohgodd no.
Vita is a totally sucky name.

Then again everyone said the same about the Wii but now we have all gotten used to it and its fine.
But Wii was a whole new word people had to get used too. Vita is just no good.

Imagine saying to someone, “do you have a vita?”
it just does not work

I expect Kevin Butler to come on stage singing “Livin’ la Vita Loca”.

If Sony is gona call it Vita, there has to be at least on Vampire: The Masquerade game for it then

yea its a rly crap name dont call it tht even NGP was better =/

PLease no. PLease NO!!!!!!!! Pita NOOOO!!!! VITa worse!!!!!!

@7 well thats what sony want! using “casual” name will make device to less hardcore which can add appeal to “casual” market.

hardcore market dont really care the name and as long there is game they will buy

I repeat my question: How can’t you feel stupid asking for a “xbox”, a “megadrive” etc?
Who doesn’t speak english buys them with no problem, but you?
