I still think it's the most appropriate and best-sounding name for it. Also considering the main draw for me is that it's the first handheld to feature two analog sticks. Is anyone else a fan of this over Vita and NGP? (I do like NGP too though; Vita sounds too.. desperate.)

I figured most people would call it PSP2 regardless of the final name Sony decided on. Though I also thought that about Katana (Dreamcast), and Revolution (Wii) - Dolphin (GameCube) not so much, though :)

LOL DOLPHIN!!!1ONE!! Couldn't help it. I don't see what's so unappealing about PSP2. It would make for a good logo too. It would also look the best below the screen compared to seeing NGP or Vita. Oh well; I'm buying it either way. So excited!

I've been adapting myself to the Vita name since I heard of it last week. I guess, I'm getting used to it now.

I don't really like PSP2, but it easily beats Vita.

It's not confirmed that it'll be called Vita, and I'm really hoping that will never be the final name. PSP2 should be fine. Sony numerical names their home consoles, cellphones, cameras, laptops, netbooks and everything else they make so I'm expecting PSP2 to be the official final name.

Cool, thanks for remembering me! :P I go around the different forums a lot. Currently following TR, Uncharted 3, Mercs 3D, Dead Island and Type-0 (of which I have an official character!) Heheh. I actually go around the boards around five times before someone replies to me.. It's sad; I'm so bored, and school's in a week.

I honestly haven't looked into any info on the "psp 2" lately but if NGP stands for something stupid like Next Gen Portable, Id rather it be called Vita or PSP2.

But the DS has an even more ridiculous name- "Dual Screen" xD On topic: I prefer NGP. PSP2 sounds too generic for a handheld successor, and Vita sounds...odd.

Haha I hear ya man. PS3 forums are full of hacking/welcome back topics and other forums are semi-dead.

How can you guys say it's not been confirmed when there's solid, concrete proof that sony is calling it the PSVita, developers are also calling the PSVita, everyone who has worked with the system is calling it the PSVita.

I don't have that many games to be able to represent myself well on the PS3 forums.. Plus I love seeing updates on specific games so I go to their respective boards. :P

On topic: Really mixed crowd, but everyone seems to be hating Vita. PSP2 ftw.

They could be reacting to a rumor... I won't call it Vita until Sony confirms that it's Vita.

I like this idea.

Playstation Portable, to the XTREME!

EDIT: Ooh and the commercials could have explosions in them!

Well, looks like Sony trademarked Vita. Time to move on and accept the name for its good side, eh? Gooo PSV!

Just realised the acronym.

PSV is a soccer club in The Netherlands, that's going to be weird.

I totally agree. PSV sounds stupid, and it's even worse when you hear someone say Vita. PSP2 just sounds right and it's so simplistic. It's the second PSP. PSP2. Makes sense.

Then again, we can all call it the 'V' now. Pronounced like 'vee' as in 'vee-ta' = Vita. RIGHT? :D I think I've found my name codename for it!

I call it PSP2 every now and then but not really. I like PSVita. It might just need to grow on you, give it some time. There are plenty of names they could of used that probably would of been terrible and embarassing to say haha ;)

yea.. since they copied wiis motion control and the front and back camera of the dsi and added the touch pad gimmick on the back..

i think they saw how if they call a gimmick a small quirky name like "wii" it will sell.

i mean if you imitate hardware you might as well imitate the name..

thats my opinion.

personally... i dont mind the name vita. its fine :)

It's called competition. Like Charlie Sheen would say #Winning.

It would have been nice if Sony called PSVita (Playstation portable 2) But that didn't happen although the PSVita is the Playstation portable Version 2. PSV
