On the same day, Sony's PS Vita will receive its first significant firmware update, which will introduce an all-new Google-powered Map application.
This app is expected to pack standard features such as the ability to search for directions and view building information.
Furthermore, the Vita's Photos app will benefit from a minor refresh. From Wednesday, you'll finally be able to record video.
