As powerful as the Playstation 3, the new PSP has been unveiled – and it should go on sale in the UK late 2011. Sony would of course be crazy not to get this on sale in time for Christmas !
The PSP2 which currently has a project name NGP (Next Generation Portable) will in addition to being a hugely powerful gaming machine, be all about connectivity – the mini machine will have 3G Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS. There are also front and rear cameras.
With a 5″ (touch) OLED screen that promises super high resolution proposed to be 400% higher than any previous PSP screen, the sequel to the successful but not amazing successful PSP will also feature front and rear touch pads to offer whole new ways to play games. The machine will look familiar to current owners of a PSP though, the main changes being that there are now 2 analog sticks on the front.
PSP2 A.K.A NGP A.K.A ???
Just to clarify about the name, Sony have said that the new portable gaming sensation will not be named PSP 2, however Sony would not confirm that NGP is the release name or just the name of the prototype.
Game makers / developers already confirmed as partners include Ubisoft, Activision, Rockstar Games, Capcom, Square Enix, Namco Bandai and 2k Games. Call of Duty fans will probably be excited to hear that Call of Duty for PSP 2 (or whatever it will be called) has already been confirmed along with Uncharted, Killzone, Little Big Planet count, Yakuza, Lost Planet, Monster Hunter, and Resistance.
How much will a PSP2 cost in UK?
No more UMD I assume?
