From the BBC:

Sony has issued an apology and software update after a barrage of complaints about its new handheld console.

The PlayStation Vita went on sale in Japan at the weekend. Users have described unresponsive touchscreens, crashes and freezes.

Glitches in new consoles are not unusual, but experts have been surprised by the number of related postings sent to Twitter and YouTube.

Local reports suggest over 300,000 devices were sold over two days.
