Sony’s upcoming baby, the PlayStation Vita might be coming soon for Japan. For international release it will be next year.

Specifics on the Vita’s software and applications will be announced at German’s GamesCom in August and the Tokyo Game Show in September.

Retail price for the Wi-Fi model is at 24,980 yen and 29,980 yen  for the 3G model. During the interview session at Sony HQ in Tokyo, PlayStation Boss Kaz Hirai said that there was no need to reduce the system’s price in response to Nintendo’s recent 3DS price drop announcement.

Official release date announcement will probably be at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, held this year from September 15 through September 18 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba.

With the recent price drop of the 3DS, how many of you are heading for the 3DS? Or you’ll wait for the Vita?
