Vita spotted in PlayStation.com web code

Evidence is mounting that Sony has settled on Vita as the final name for its forthcoming NGP handheld, after the moniker was spotted in net code on Sony's E3 website.

If you head on over to the web page and view the site's source code you should be able to see three references to "PS Vita", including specific sub-directories marked "Games and Media" and "Features".

Speculation that the NGP will be renamed Vita kicked off earlier this week when a logo was reportedly leaked and the word was spotted in a Sony developer subdomain.

Not long to wait until we get to find out for sure. Sony's E3 press conference goes down next Monday.
