Playstation vita Japan only this year 2011

The news is spreading all around the intermawebs that the Sony Playstation Vita will not see a release in North America or Europe this holliday, so the earlier rumour of october was waaaaaay off. It seems that Japan should be seeing a release 2011, but the rest of us will have to wait until early 2012. They have also stated that the price will not drop just because the competition have announced a drop in price.
