What name will Sony give to the NGP? That Question is eating away at some people so much that they'd sit and wade through lines of HTML source code for clues. And they've found one.

Sifting through the source code for Sony's new E3 2011 website reveals mention of 'PS Vita' - the very name that's been much rumoured to be the final retail name for the PSP's powerful successor.

The rumour mill has so far churned out supposed leaked pictures of what looks like an NGP leaflet or brochure, touting the 'Vita' name on both the page and the console itself, while others have dug up a domain name and a live development website with the word 'vita' in their URLs.

The evidence is mounting, and all will be revealed at 5pm PST on June 6. Although we remain greatly hopeful that it's just a placeholder.

Come on now... 'Vita'? Seriously? Every time we read the word we think of this person.

    Horrible name, if someone has an accent it kinda sounds like p*ss water if said fast. Hopefully all the negativity will change the name, if it is the real name of course.

    This is a horrible, horrible name. It just sounds like some dumb euro-wank name with no real meaning or direction.

    Fingers crossed indeed that it turns out to be false. I'm not shallow enough to choose which console I am going to buy on the name alone, but a console like this needs a good name, not one which is well houmus.

    Anyway, mongy name aside, I am looking forward to what they announce for this. I can't help but feel let down by 3DS so far, so if this has some seriously sexy applications, I may just hold off until the end of the year and get one of these instead.

    Vita means life, I would rather it be called life to be honest.

    sounds to much like Vista & we all know what a fail that was, as Matty said why not just call it 'Life' ?

    Yeah I like NGP. Vita makes me think of healthy snacks and I'm a slob (a thin slob but a slob nonetheless), so it's not good.
