Vita RAM confirmed as 512MB

Sony has put an end to rumours that the PlayStation Vita's RAM was cut in half to keep costs down.

The idea that the Vita's specs had been downgraded surfaced in May, and seemed to be confirmed by Novarama CEO Dani Sánchez-Crespo last month.

However, according to 1UP, the RAM was cofirmed as 512MB in a press release announcing the handheld's support of the social media applications Foursquare, Facebook, Twitter and Skype.

The Vita is due for release in Europe early next year for €249.99.
