Original Piece: The ‘NGP’. The ‘Next Generation Portable’. This is code name for the successor of the PSP. But what is the final name?

Today we received some new, and exclusive, information from an "credible sources". The official name of the NGP! Rumor has it that the new Sony handheld will bear the name PS Vita. Vita is Latin/Italian for ‘life’. Does Sony hope to bring life back into their stock? Do they want to rejuvenate the PSP? Revitalize your needs for portable gaming?

Our source tells us that this will be the definite and final name of the new system Sony will bring out at the end of 2011. Sony is expected to give further announcements on the E3 next week.

In my opinion this is a very surprising name. Mainly because it will be the first innovative name Sony is using for any of its consoles/handhelds. This name is contrast to the usual numbered Sony devices, this would be the first time that is set to a more creative name. However the real shock was the specs of the device, which was essentially credited as a PS3 Portable with similar graphics.
