Is Sony Patent from 2015 the PS Vita Succesor?
NeoGaf users recently spotted a patent for a new handheld Device the patent from Sony was filed back in 2015 but was only recently published. In the diagrams we can see that there is an AC port, a mini-USB port and other features that seem to indicate that the controllers don’t detach like the Switch.
Some people on NeoGaf argued that maybe the entire device is a tablet style gaming system and that the controllers don’t detach. Others questioned if maybe it was just a cover for the tablet and that the controllers themselves are completely separate from the touchscreen — potentially making them usable with other tablet devices.
Check these diagrams down below:
“Some people are labeling this as the Vita 2 while others are saying this is a dead concept that just managed to surface to the public’s awareness. Given Sony’s position in the current console market with the PS4, it’s tough to tell if they would pursue another handheld, but if the Nintendo Switch turns out to be a blockbuster device on the market, don’t be surprised if this patent ends up turning into a real product, real soon.”
