The Sony PS Vita is launching first in Japan and inside Sony's home country the little Vita portable has been up for pre-sale ahead of a lunching in time for Christmas. Sony will launch the Vita inside Japan officially on December 17, which is this coming Friday. The Vita has been up for pre-order for a while now inside Japan and Sony has made an announcement.

According to Sony, the Vita has completely sold out in pre-orders. The device went up for pre-order in October. Sony also says that the pre-ordering was so heavy that there were lines to make a reservation for the portable at retailers. Sony is mum on the specific number of pre-orders made.
