PlayStation Vita Plagued With Bugs, Sony Issues Apology and Software Update

To say there’s a lot riding on the PlayStation Vita for Sony is an understatement. The company whose been lacking a hit products for many years now as it continues falling behind to rivals like Apple and Samsung has just launched their latest portable handheld gaming console in Japan to long, sold out lines which is a good indicator. That is, till many users starting arriving home with their Vita units, only to find the system unresponsive and plagued with many bugs.

It should be noted that many high profile devices, especially those with multiple functionalities tend to have bugs during launch and this seems no different. The only concern is in the number of users who seem to be experiencing these bugs which is never a good thing, if for purely PR reasons. It does seem though that Sony was/is aware of such bugs as the company has already issued a public apology and released a new system update, designed to address bugs like unresponsive touch screens, complete system freezes, and poor performance.

We cannot currently confirm if the new system update has addressed all the mentioned issues but will be following the story closely. Sony will be launching the PS Vita on February 22nd for US gamers. After the jump, your chance to comment and Sony’s public apology.
