There might be a new PSVita in the works with clickable analog sticks??

It’s been quite some time now since we seen a new version of the PSVita and most of us thought Sony has given up on it. It seems a new patent from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia was just published on January 18th for the PSVita. Now there isn’t anything really new about it other then clickable analog sticks like your DS3 or DS4 controllers and there’s no telling if this will make it to a production line anytime soon.
