Uncertainty over the official name for Sony’s NGP looks to be settling. In the latest twist of events, evidence has surfaced in the HTML code on Sony’s E3 teaser page which explicitly mentions the PS Vita. We’ve heard the NGP referred to as the PS Vita once before, but this time it comes straight from Sony — the NGP is the PS Vita and here’s why.
Let’s begin with a recap. Earlier this week Game Pundit did some digging around in domain names and tracked down some leaked images suggesting the Sony NGP would be called the PS Vita. Today, NeoGAF user go freak took to the source code on Sony’s E3 teaser page and found the page was “stuffed with HTML that points to a PS Vita”.
In addition, a Google Search shows PS Vita is a registered trademark of Sony. While absolute certainty is impossible at this point, the evidence mounting is rather strong. However, there is one other possibility — much like the movie ‘Inception’, PS Vita is a codename of the NGP codename of the PlayStation Portable.
Expect official word from Sony on the NGP/PS Vita at E3 this month. If you’re looking for the source code yourself, it has since been modified by Sony (likely a cover up).
