The design team at Sony that created the new Vita 2000 hardware says that all its elements are meant to make the handheld console more appealing to new gamers that are looking for an accessible device.

Mika Nagae, the leader of the team at Sony Computer Entertainment, is quoted by Polygon as saying that, “The colors have been pretty basic up to now, but the new Vita is trying to change that image by taking a different approach to coloring.”

He adds, “In addition, the speaker holes have also been rearranged into this kind of flower shape which I, at least, think is cute.”

Sony is also including 1 GB of memory for the Vita 2000 to give all new players space to download their favorite experiences.

The shape of the buttons on the device has also been changed in order to make it easier to control games.

The Vita 200 will launch only in Japan on October 10.
