Only yesterday we reported on behalf of the allegedly final of the PSP's successor: PSVita. There are significant domain filings from the past that prove this is a legitimate PlayStation name.

Sony's registration for PlayStatation.NL, which is now UK.PlayStation.com, is registered by domain company ASCIO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.. Companies like Sony tend to use 3rd party domain companies instead of filing domains themselves to keep major projects under-raps before media can uncover it. With their track record, ASCIO is an official domain registering partner of Sony, and it just so happens that PlayStationVita.com is registered with that very company. We can safely assume that PlayStation Vita is a possible name for NGP. This does not confirm however that Sony will be indeed using the name as NGP's replacement. View the domain filing "who is" listings below citing the ASCIO domain company. Sony's E3 2011 press conference will reveal all.
