    Andrew Yoon posted a new article, 63% of PS3 owners will buy Vita, Sony survey says.

    Sony is missing the holiday season with its February release for the PlayStation Vita. But, Sony's John Koller isn't concerned at all. Why? Because Koller points to "significant" pre-orders from current Sony loyalists.
