TOKYO (AP) — Sony says its PlayStation Vita portable game machine is going on sale in North America and Europe on Feb. 22, about two months after it makes its debut in Japan.

It hits stores in Japan on Dec. 17.

The Wi-Fi only model will cost $249.99 in the U.S. and euros 249.99 in Europe. The Wi-Fi and 3G-enabled Vita will retail for $299.99 and euros 299.99.
