Sony Pres Hirai has confirmed no PS Vita for USA and EU for this year. Japan however are lucky and will have it by end of this year.

Dissapointed, really wanted this thing out this year.

Is this seriously true. What happened to the 2011 release date Sony promised us?

They're still keeping their promise. It will be released in Japan, China, and Taiwan this year then there will be a phased rollout.

Ok, Its a right pain. I hope hoping and expecting it to be in the Uk October/November at the latest. I already have the cash for it lol. Just got to wait round about March/April I guess now.

More people will be upset than happy but this holiday season is a cluster-****. We got big anticipated titles coming out from left and right. Then you have the big 3ds games hitting the shelves. Even though I was not happy when I first saw this, this is a good decision by Sony. Take your time with the launch titles, i'm still extremely happy with the PSP since the launch day.

Well at least this gives me some time to save up some cash for the VIta along with bluetooth headphones and a new case for it when it launches.

"Hirai did not characterize the timing as a delay, but said Sony wants to be prepared with solid game software offerings timed with the hardware launches." - I wonder why he wants this :lol: I'm actually glad EU aint getting it first, i want feedback from users first before i decide to buy it, details of battery life and stability mostly.

Oh well, I would have liked it this year but maybe by the time it does get released early next year, there'll be a nice selection of games from the get-go.

Agree with most coments with mixed reactions.

I had pre-ordered it as well asall signs were pointing to it being out this year.

The 3DS isn't really selling well and so think of the potential advantage Sony have lost by getting it out this year. By the time its out 3DS sales will have picked up.

But on the other hand there are many good games already for the year so yeah, thats a positive.

I believe that this is either a brilliant or stupid move by sony. True I was (as it seems most people were) excited for the vita coming this holiday season, however with all these great titles Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, and the 3DS titles coming out the vita had the danger of falling by the wayside.

I have no problem with waiting, but do fear that giving the 3DS a Holiday season ahead could hurt its sales a bit.

Honestly I'm a bit disappointed but also relieved since now I won't have to put aside as much money and can pick up more games this holiday season. I mean holy crap Skyrim, MW3, BF3, Arkham City, Dead Island, Gears of War 3, Uncharted 3, Halo Anniversary, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Resistance 3, and I'm sure I missed so much more. Must buy all....forget paying tuition...drop out and sit on my butt all day...need my video games.

Its a mixed reaction for me. On one end Sony having the Vita out this holiday will boost its sales potential. On the other end, releasing it in Spring could be dangerous considering Nintendo could easliy have re design 3DS, improved software and a price drop.

Not surprised, and I'm glad just to know that we have a set release time. Gives me more time to have more money to purchase it.

At least they have more time to get the kinks out. I'm not getting the system anyway until there's at least 10 games I want to play.
