Kicking off today is what’s sure to be a busy week. Both Apple and Intel have events scheduled over the next few days, with an Apple product announcement and Intel’s annual developers forum taking place respectively. But first blood for the week will go to Sony, who in a Japanese press conference has announced a duo of new Playstation products: a new revision of their PlayStation Vita handheld game console, dubbed the PS Vita PCH-2000, and a Vita-based TV micro console dubbed the PS Vita TV.

Starting off with the new revision of the PS Vita, the PS Vita 2000 follows in the handheld standard of progressive revisions of a console getting thinner, lighter, and cheaper. While Sony is not dramatically overhauling the design of the PS Vita, the PS Vita 2000 sticks with the Vita’s standard design while shaving off both depth and weight. The new Vita comes in at 219g and roughly 15mm deep, making it 15% lighter and 20% thinner than the original Vita.
