Fifa 12 Vita, looking good in Santa Monica.
Sony's newest handheld, set for a Feb. 22 release here in the States, is capable of producing crisp and vibrant graphics.

The Vita also boasts a touchscreen, because that's pretty much a requirement for any new handheld device.
Based on my first impression, I like the Vita. Does that mean consumers should buy the Vita.

As impressive as the Vita's capabilities are, I don't know yet if it's worth $250 or $300 for the average gamer who likely already has a PlayStation 3 or XBox 360 at home. While attending a Sony open house in Santa Monica, I had a chance to sample Fifa 12 Vita, the Vita version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Resistance: Burning Skies, a forthcoming sequel to the PlayStation 3 FPS series.
