THE Playstation Vita console is seeing a surprise bounce-back thanks to the launch of the PS4 and its £150 price tag. The touch-screen handheld console has had a huge boost after being relatively ignored by many gamers for two years. And experts reckon the powerful little machine is now coming into its own thanks to technology that allows it to act as a second screen for the Playstation 4. Vita was released in December 2011 and heralded as "true next-generation gaming". But people widely turned their backs on the then-costly machine, opting instead for cheaper handhelds like Nintendo's DS. It's now having a second coming thanks to the 'remote play' option with PS4 and cheaper price tag.
