Bad news everyone — PlayStation Vita will miss 2011 in Europe and America.
Sony Computer Entertainment vice president Kaz Hirai made the pronouncement minutes ago. The console will still make it to Japan this year, however.
Hirai didn't go into much detail about the reason for the delay, but did say that it was to make sure the console was well-supported with software at launch.
There you have it: you can take Vita off your Christmas lists now.

Japanese Vita, here I come. LOL
This means that the Japan launch won't have good games, but the North American/European launches will. Or they might both have crappy launches.
@AbuJaffer Apparently the Japanese launch has Uncharted and Wipeout, which isn't bad all in all.
well that give me more time to save up for the 3g vita, and monster hunter
VERY VERY VERY VERY disappointing. (Did I mention VERY?)
I'm just going to wrap up my PSP at Christmas and pretend it's a Vita.
lol Patrick
Too bad. Hope we get some more launch titles because of this.
ouch, now I have to wonder when in 2012. I'm not sure if I can wait until march January please!
Man that sucks. Looks like I'll be getting a 3DS this christmas.
Hmm should I buy the Japanese Vita for an extra 60$ just for bragging rights here in the USA? I think yes.
Why Sony?! WHY?????!
well im sad with no christmas of vita playing but more games if it comes out in january that perfect an it give us time to play bf3 mw3 an the new assianscreed an for most people to make a bf3 vs mw3 video. as long if it january release date for vita idc
All the signs points to region freedom for Vita, so I think many will opt for importing the machine as soon as it launches in Japan. About the delay, well, I'm not really concerned. I mean, there will be more time to prepare a proper debut in USA and Europe interms of advertisement, and most importantly, the initial game library. The 3DS has suffered from weak exposition of its power, and focusing on a N64 rehash like Ocarina of Time has done more harm than good. So I really hope Vita's debut titles are going to show the sheer power of the machine.
That means Nintendo is Sony-Free for the holiday season since 2004! YESH!
