Sony PS Vita, Sony’s long-awaited PlayStation Vita portable game machine hit stores in Japan this weekend as thousands of game enthusiasts lined up to be among the first to buy it.

Sony Computer Entertainment is predicting brisk sales, even though the launch may have missed some holiday shoppers. A successful debut would help the company offset the rest of its struggling business. Sony projects a loss of more than $1 billion for the fiscal year through March 2012, which would be its fourth straight annual loss.

In Tokyo’s Ikebukuro shopping district, some 300 game enthusiasts lined up outside a major electronics chain that opened a few hours earlier than usual for the event Saturday morning. Many of the purchasers had made advance orders on the Internet so they could start playing immediately.
