We already knew this. Sony’s just confirmed the real name of codename NGP, and it’s…you know…PS Vita, and it’s releasing late this year..

Yes, PS Vita, or PSV, PSP, NGP – whatever you want to call it, has seen its entire launch lineup leaked onto the internet, and below the break on Gamesthirst.

Since Sony blatantly confirmed that it was already working on PS4, gamers have been sharing their opinions on what it would be like, and whether we’re ready for it. But in a rather uncanny move, a Sony representative’s come and to contend the talk, claiming there’s no PS4 in the works, and that NGP is actually Sony’s future platform.

Apparently Sony’s cut in half the amount of RAM that will come ready in the base version of its upcoming handheld NGP, in an effort to compete with the likes of 3DS.

The biggest gaming expo in the world is happening in two weeks time, and there, everything that concerns games will be present. Trailers, new releases, teasers, gameplay videos, surprises, new consoles, new handheld consoles. And of course, the bombshells. Who could forget last year’s? No one, I reckon.
Microsoft will be present, Nintendo and Sony will also be present. Every single developer in the world that’s worth its salt will be there talking up their offerings. id Software basically invented the FPS genre and they’ll be there showing off RAGE and DOOM 4 – but that’s just for starters. We have the days and times of what’s big at the event below the break.

Sony and Nintendo are well known for releasing their consoles in Japan first before any other region, but according to a source closer to Jolt, the console will release in the West first, revealing also four titles that will launch alongside it.

Monday June 6th is when Sony’s E3 2011 press conference will happen, at 5 p.m. PST at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, and on that day we should see some massive announcements.
The unexpected has happened. What we never thought would be a story told is being written as we speak. Many will remember this day, the 1st day of April, 2011, as the saddest in gaming history. My friends, Sony’s decided to shut down all things PlayStation, as it says there’s been no profit in it, and has admitted to making a big mistake by including Blu-Ray in launch PS3s.
The company’s giving everyone 3 months to enjoy games on PSN, but has already started shutting down game studios, beginning with SOE.
Developers the world over are pleading with Sony to rethink this decision – even Microsoft’s offered the once electronic giant a loan of $2 billion, yet company exec Kaz Hirai’s said the decision is a final one.
No more PSN, no more game studios, all the PS4 talk has been rubbish, and today, my friends, the industry has lost its greatest company.
If something is well taken care of, it will grow. Look at flowers and how they blossom. Don’t you know it’s because they receive the right amount of water why their leaves are so welcoming? Think of a child. It’s born, and with adequate food it grows into, well, me and you – we were all once children natured by parents, but have grown into men and women (shout out to RabidPrincess!).
I’ve said all this eluding to Games Thirst, the site that you’ve made your home. Josh and I have great news for everyone: we’re making great progress and have added two indelible members to staff.
It’s the weekend, friends, what are you guys up to?
I think it’s safe to say Nintendo’s carved out a demographic for itself that no other gaming company seems to be able to snatch. It’s like the same group of people keep buying the firm’s products over and over to the tune of billions of dollars.
But there’s another group that’s been lacking in the handheld realm, and according to EEDAR’s Jesse Divnich, with NGP and Xperia Play, Sony stands the chance of winning that group, outperforming even Nintendo’s 3DS.
NGP’s arguably the hottest impending handheld in the gaming industry this generation, something that happened ever since Sony unveiled it at a secret Tokyo meeting. They showed us specs, games, apps and more, but one thing Sony hasn’t done is given us a price. Yes, they’ve said it’ll be affordable but for the wearily excited, that’s not enough.
If you’re one of the many (including me) who simply can’t wait for Sony to deliver us its worth, Ubisoft has reportedly sponsored a survey that gives some ideas as to how much the two version will cost.
Seems as if Sony’s got the price, a great one, of NGP on lock down, as the firm’s confident enough to say that “everybody” will be able to afford one.
I love beautiful women. I think my wife’s the hottest thing since the baking of bread. I also love tech that looks sexy. I mean, I’ll buy a computer with lesser specs compared to another just because the darn thing looks clean, neat….sexy. And now, like a child receiving allowance from his parent for the first time, I’m left giddy by the NGP screens you’ll see past the jump.
