Sorry but we still do not have a confirmation about how long the battery will last in Vita so don’t crap out stuff you have to eat up again :P

So how long was the battery life of a PSP? 3-5h or something? Oh wait that is the same amount as a 3DS :O 

Anyway here is an article about battery life for it.

“With the recent worries about Nintendo’s 3DS battery life, Sony felt it necessary to reassure everyone that the PSVita will last much longer.

Sony’s E3 is wrapping up nicely, they showed off a host of games and the new console to play them on. One large worry hanging over peoples heads was the battery life.

With the PSPGo doing away with the battery-sucking UMD drive, we expected to see an improvement of play time. However this wasn’t the case. Now, with a bigger screen, touch capabilities and higher resolution playback, you would be forgiven for thinking that this would only last a few minutes. However, Sony confirmed that the handheld console will last as long as the PSP – that’s not bad for the amount of technology crammed in there.

Sony did say to Engadget that there would be an exception when playing ‘graphically intense’ games like Uncharted on the Vita. What this means, we will have to wait and see.

The port at the bottom of the console, according to Sony, can also be used as a Video-out, hopefully there wont be nasty up-scaling, as with the old PSP.”

i think few of you need to start reading better..it's getting silly

1. psp gives me around 5hours of gameplay..maybe 6.

2. doesn't change the fact that successor to ds which has way better battery life is a step back..huge step back.

3. you guys are waaaay to defensive :P

simple..it really is.

Well the 3DS does have a bigger top screen plus the lower touch, WiFi, motion, gyros plus the huge battery consuming 3D and better graphic lol

Adding stuff will automatically increase battery consumption. Your talking as if the 3DS is a DS with just 3D tacked on it and this is not the case here

paranoia much? never said that :) never implied that, never will

and you do realize all the things you listed other than the 3d, PSV does more right? and it has 3g too in the 3g model...yet the word is it's around the same as it's predecessor. 3ds has failed to match or even come close to it. for the fans of psp, they will be content (I wouldn't mind more battery life for psv myself but I'm content. but battery life was one of the advantages ds had over psp...doesn't look like it's the case this time around. it's a step back on battery life front for 3ds

Sorry but I have no idea how long the 3g model will last as they never stated that both models will last as long as the PSP so unless you know you can’t say for sure how long it will last with 3g on :P
