If this turns out to be real, somebody in the company&rsquo;s marketing department should obviously be tried in the Hague for crimes against everything, ever.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, even Michael Pachter has declared it &ldquo;the dumbest name ever&rdquo;, and Michael Pachter knows what he&rsquo;s talking about. Sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>Lending some spotty credibility to the claims is the recent discovery of domain names &lsquo;psvita.com&rsquo; and &lsquo;vita.scedev.com&rsquo;, although their affiliation with Sony isn&rsquo;t (yet) official.<\/p>\n<p>In all likelihood, though, it&rsquo;s probably just some sort of placeholder. The handheld was previously rumoured to be dubbed &ldquo;Arc&rdquo;, which is also kind of crap, but much better than &ldquo;Vita&rdquo;. At least the word &ldquo;arc&rdquo; makes me think of lightning bolts, and lightning bolts are awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Doubtless enough, Sony will reveal all at E3 next week.
