VITA MEANS LIFE: THE COMPLETE UNOFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE PLAYSTATION VITA

Sandeep Rai

---

This is a 400 page, hardback book that covers the entire history of the PSVita.

The Vita struggled to make an impact on the gaming market but it found its audience of loyal fans (including myself) that continued to support it long after Sony stopped releasing games for the system. In this book, the author takes a look back at the events that shaped the fortunes of the device, from its well received announcement, to its rocky launch and its eventual discontinuation.

The book also includes interviews with developers of some of the major first party titles and detailed retrospectives on some of the biggest games on the system.

VML is a collation of the three books Sandeep Rai had previously written about the Vita with new material covering the events that took place after the third book had released.
