| Sony backing the Vita with its biggest marketing push ever | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 10th, 2012 | It’s just 7 weeks until Sony’s PSP successor, the touch-screen enabled PlayStation Vita will be released in Western markets.

Don’t write it off just yet; it’ll likely gain a lot more ... [»] |

Geoffrey Tim - January 9th, 2012 | The market for dedicated handhelds, thanks to the proliferation of gaming capable smartphones and tablets, has shrunk to nothing.
