The Sony NGP (Next Generation Portable) could be renamed PlayStation Vita, with a series of leaked pictures and a developers site pointing to the likely name of the handheld console.

One picture speculated to have come from a Sony pamphlet shows the handheld console adorned with the name PSVita, with the name also displayed at the top of the page.

Adding substance to these rumours is the discovery of a domain name ‘psvita.com’ and what appears to be a development site named ‘vita.scedev.net’. The latter however contains details of every Playstation platform bar the NGP. Gamer blog Ripten have also added weight behind the name, claiming to have information from a ‘trusted source’ that it will be Vita.

If the rumours are proved to be inaccurate, it wouldn’t be the first time. Before Sony released the PlayStation Move controller there was domain evidence found which pointed to the PS3 add-on being called ‘Arc’.

There won’t be a long wait for the truth however, as Sony is due to reveal all at its E3 2011 press conference which takes place next Monday and T3 will be there to give you the very latest on all things NGP-related.
