Vita to Reach Europe in February or March

We know Vita is pushed back to 2012, and we've been taking a look at the implications of the delay in a series of recent features, but now we've come to terms that the console won't be sitting under any Western Christmas trees this year, with a six month wait looking likely.

According to newsletters sent out by various departments of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, the console will find its way to retailers across the continent in February or March 2012. Interestingly, Sony UK is the only division to stick to "early 2012", with others going for a more precise February or March.

Hopefully we'll find out some solid information about the release date at Gamescom 2011 this week.
