The PlayStation Vita won’t be making it to the U.S. and Europe in time for holiday season this year. This may come as a surprise for some of you PlayStation fans out there that watched Sony’s E3 press conference this year where Sony Executive Vice President Kazuo Hirai said, “This entire package will be available starting from the holiday season this year.“ Perhaps he meant the release in Japan at the end of this year.
When asked whether or not Sony was to respond to Nintendo’s price cut for the 3DS with a price cut of their own Hirai said, “We packed so much into the device and made it very affordable. There is no need to lower the price just because somebody else that happens to be in the video game business decided that they were going to lower their price.”

R&D manager at Sony Europe Phil Rogers talked about the possibilities that users have with the Vita and PS3 at this years Develop conference in Brighton, England. Rogers explained that you could “drive a display from a PS3 game, for example.” This would make the combo work along the lines of the WiiU with the Vita acting like a WiiU controller for the PlayStation3.
He continued: “PS3 can send data down to Vita and Vita can display it. You could use the unique features – gyroscope, touch front and back – as a control device for a PS3 game.
“You can run software on both devices and use the network to sync the game states. And that’s pretty good, because you then have the processing power of PS3 doing that work, Vita [doing] fancy graphics – however you want to do it. You’re not sacrificing the PS3?s CPU to be able to have a rich experience on Vita.”

Looks as though they are hoping to win over some future WiiU buyers. This would make sense for those who already own a PlayStation 3 and are looking into buying a WiiU unless the Nintendo exclusive games are a must for you.
