So there are allot of rumors circulating about the NGP indicated that the device would be called the PlayStation Vita... Really Vita Apparently it means Life in Latin! And now images of the handheld are popping up clearly showed the name, and a development website from Sony for the name Vita has been uncovered.

The following domain: http://vita.scedev.net is valid and shows Sony’s current development platforms, as well as information regarding Sony Computer Entertainment.

Upon learning of Sony's rumored branding, outspoken industry analyst Michael Pachter labelled PS Vita as "one of the dumber names" he has seen attached to gaming console !important]. I really hope Vita is NOT the final name, cause if it is the final name i think i may just have to resign from the Sony fan club!!! But we a sure to find out at Sony’s E3 conference this June.

Not buying a console because of it's name is ridiculous. Ways to unbrand things, spray paint, and new cases will always exist... Oh and stickers for those who like stickers.

You can't "unbrand" a name. If I bring that with me, and paint "PSP2" on it people will still say "Oh I see you have the PS Vita!!!" The name is the only thing that is ridiculous..

And Vita does sound extremely like some kind of mexican food... now i'm hungry...

I mean physically unbranding it. . . All of the things I listed were physical objects. . .

With special firmware we can also change what things say when we turn them on. So lets nick name the Vita "Benny" and move on with life. Who'd like to play with Fren's 'benny'

-TwisT

*added* Stop worrying about what other people say. If that would have been the case, nobody would be a 'gamer' today. I remember when it was uncool to play video games. If we cared about what people thought where would we be today? We would probably all have tans or something spooky like that.

It doesn't matter if you can physically unbrand anything... If I sand over the faceplate and umd door on my PSP, paint Nintendo DS on it, add a CTF theme with a boot that says "Nintendo DS", and change the console name to Nintendo DS, it's is STILL a PSP.. I don't get what point you're trying to make. Physically unbranding has nothing to do with it. For example my iPhone 2g. It has android firmware installed on it. It says android when it boots up. Yet it is still an iPhone. And I could care less what people think about it. Even if everyone said that my iPhone was a Macbook, it would still be an iPhone, that was just an example.

And I don't know when it was "uncool" ever to play video games... If it was uncool why were arcades invented in the first place?

Crumbz · « **Reply #7 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:41:42 PM »

the name "vita" sounds stupid. (But so does Vista or Macbook. or iPhone) Im not going to let the name of the console stop me from buying it when it comes out. The name dosent matter, it's what the console can do that matters.

I dont know if i'd fork out the $350 for the 3G version. but im gunna try for the wifi only version for $250.

lol! thats true Neo you cant "unbrand" anything by just changing the case or software. Because then your still using the hardware and basic case structure design.

Although i think they should have stuck with the NGP name. It had promise in it's name... But maybe thats why they changed it.

crazy-modder · « **Reply #8 on:** May 30, 2011, 09:27:33 PM »

Lol yeah the name vita is kinda gay but who cares.....This thing is still beast and im gonna try and buy it the day it comes out. As said before, just do a nice case mod and you can get some custom stickers made that say NGP or something along those lines.

all i really said is that I'll likely resign from the Sony fan club not that i wouldn't buy it. I'm still buying the 3g one but i will resign from the fan club.... let's be honest if the psp was called the POS (piece of Sh**) less ppl would have bought it plain and simple

There's nothing wrong with a comparison of knowledge from time to time. ;D

I think everyone damn knows that if they named it the Sony Ravioli I'm still going to purchase... I just seems like another dumb move on sony's part.

they should have called it a Radioactive-ChickenPod and i bet people will still buy it.

for all seriousness when it actually comes out people will check the advantages and disadvantages of the 'Pita-bread Vita' and that is what will make the market.

Actually I would buy that for the name even if it is crap. Love that lol.

Anyways PlayStation Vita doesn't sound that bad. :/ Like you'd have to admit PlayStation is stupid a name, it's a "Play Station" literally translating into a machine that you play with. : | Yet you're all fine with it. When you think about it Vita is far better than that.

I don't mind the name and I don't understand why it's such a big deal, like sure they could have come up with something else but it's pretty much irrelevant, it's an amazing console and it's better than coming up with some really desperate trying to be cool name like blue flame or something. I would have liked something Japanese for the name rather than Latin though.

I will have to say that Vita doesn't roll off the tongue though :/

ex:
I hate the Vita.

Needs more letters or something.

ex:
I hate Vista.

^lies BTW I love both the PlayStation Vita and Windows Vista.

Doesn't make sense to me.. With your logic every game console has a stupid name. Xbox? Gameboy?

And Vista? *gag*

Jacob: That is an amazing point.. seriously.. I didn't know about this before though. I'm bummed :/

it reminds me of viva pinata. i keep thinking its going to be some kind of colorful cheap plastic children's toy, like a leap frog or something. but it isn't, and i agree that the name shouldn't be the deciding factor in buying a product.

"Viva Pinata"? Isn't that a show about pinata's living on an island? Cuz if it is that show, thats show is awsome! (FTW!)

But as for the names... Who really cares???
