I think PS Vita sounds absolutely horrible. NGP sounds a lot better. Even PSP2 would sound better than PS Vita. Anyone agree?

I think people are exaggerating the name. I hope that the name of the product will not sway you from getting it.

The name won't affect my decision to get it. Regardless of it's name, it looks like a beast of a machine and I want it.

Bogus or not bogus?: Though the series of clues is pretty convincing, it overlooks one fact. As far back as January, there have been rumors that the NGP was internally code-named "Vita" at Sony.

Also, Sony has had past successes using code names to throw journalists and Internet sleuths off the scent. Last year, the company used the code name "PlayStation Arc" for its motion-sensing system when talking with third-party publishers, and even went as far as to trademark the name in Japan. That system was later revealed to be named the PlayStation Move at the last minute.

Wait for Sony's press conference. Even if it turns out to be true, it's just a name. The fact that it bothers so many people baffles me.

They could still name it NGP but change the meaning of the initials because vita sounds.... like everyone above states.

D. It fits. Sony wants this to be something that you use throughout your every day life for multiple tasks. It may not sound good. But Vita is a good name for it. Don't worry. It will grow on you.

When abbreviated, "PSV" sounds perfectly fine.

Vita is like a grils name or something. Whatever it's name is, i will call it the NGP. (Not PSP 2, not PSP Vita, not NGP Vita.)

I'm putting some faith into the fact that it won't be named Vita. We should find out pretty soon anyways.

It sounds more like a Windows name. Windows Vista, Windows Vita. Not a fan of the name PSP2 or PSP really, but NGP sounds OK to me.

NGP or PSP2 is fine. Vita sounds like they desperately wanted to make a creative new name and rushed it.
