Domains and online reports suggest the Next Generation Portable – Sony's PlayStation Portable successor – is called the PlayStation Vita.
Vita is Latin and Italian for "life".
GamesPundit brings word from a source that NGP's formal name is PS Vita, and provides an image containing the logo.
Adding authenticity to the Vita name is mention of it on a Sony developer subdomain called
Vita.SCEdev.net, noticed by
Joystiq.
The PlayStation Vita?
Sony is expected to announce pricing, availability and the final name of the NGP during its press conference at E3 next week.
