Sony's Kaz Hirai has confirmed that the will be no holiday release for the Vita in the US and Europe, but possibly for Japan. We all have look forward to the release of the Vita and it's touchy goodness, but with the limited release titles available at launch it might have been a good idea to delay the system. Learning from the mistakes of the Nintendo 3DS (why does this seem so familiar? PS Move Maybe?), an early launch with a weak library of games available could possibly leave a bad taste in consumer's mouths. There has been no change of pricing for the PS Vita, the wifi only is still priced at $249, and the 3G+wifi at $299.
