Playstation Vita Beats Out Wii U in Game Critics' Best of E3 Awards

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Sony's new handheld, the Playstation Vita, stole the show this year at E3 according to the Game Critics Awards. Even though it was formally announced in January, the handheld still out shined Nintendo's new home console and current portable in the annual awards.

The only way it could be more well received would be if BioShock Infinite was coming to the portable, it seems. BioShock Infinite received four awards overall including Best of Show, winning every award it was nominated for.

The Game Critics Awards are voted on by more than 25 members of the media, including our own Brian Crecente.
