Sony aims for Vita to be life of 3D console party

SONY has introduced its new-generation PlayStation Vita gaming handset and blockbuster 3D console titles as it bids to shake off the stigma of cyberattacks on its system.

The Vita will go on sale in Europe for between €249 and €299 by the end of the year, said deputy president Kazuo Hirai.

Company executives have called the device Sony’s biggest product launch since the PlayStation 3 (PS3) five years ago.
