E3: Everybody loves Sony

Sony shows low fat PS Vita

Whereas Nintendo’s recently announced 2DS has seen the system undergo a radical redesign, Sony’s newly unveiled thinner PlayStation Vita retains all the curves of the original. The new model – out in Japan 10th October – is 20 per cent slimmer and 15 per cent lighter than the...
