Psp2
 

I posted about this a while back, but while it was still rumored to be a "playstation phone", at this point I think it might be a competitor for the iPOD etc, but while being able to make phone calls? Sony is also saying that the PSP2 is just as powerful as the PS3, amazing to think about considering the PS3 is more powerful than any other console to date.

http://kotaku.com/5672410/psp2-will-...-out-fall-2011 -- Some fan made concept art, but could potentially be close to what we could see on shelves as early as the end of this month?--personally I think that looks too bulky.


Here's more of what has continually been showing up around the internetz.

I'm not sure if I should take your first paragraph as PSP2 being the PlayStation phone... which is very doubtful.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is the PlayStation phone: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/01/...lay-in-action/. Codenamed "Zeus", it was leaked a month or so back and, whilst still not having been formally announced, shots of finished products, and videos of it in action, are dotted around the web.

The PSP2, in my opinion, is a completely separate entity to the Xperia Play - Sony is infamous for having departments that don't communicate with each other and Sony Ericsson, as a joint venture from two companies, is most probably even more removed from the other departments than usual.

It has been rumoured for a long time that the PSP2 is coming, and personally I don't think it will be announced soon. It makes more sense for Sony to wait for a major show, when all of the media interested in the industry are guaranteed to be present.

Maybe I was an itty, witty, bitty bit wrong. :rolleyes:

The specs are kind of awesome: Quad-core ARM Cortex A9, quad-core GPU, 5 inch touchscreen OLED (with multi-touch) and a touch pad on the back.

Wow. Looks fantastic! And the specs, *drool*. Sersiously, Wi-fi, big screen, two cameras? They're really wanting to jump into the almost, smart-phone based market. Think they'll have a shot? I guess we'll have to see the pricetag and whatever else comes along with it and then we can argue from there. But just the looks of it, me like!

I have to admit that that's the first video I've seen of the NGP up close.

It's beautiful!

And whilst we're watching videos, here's Unreal Engine on the NGP: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/01/...-psp2-footage/

Note how much it looks like Fable, and how much better than, say, the PS3 version of Oblivion it appears.

That's awsome, real smooth looking. I also love how they're jumping off of the UMD bandwagon, and onto flash drive. That makes so much sense! They really should've done that from the start, but who cares I guess the price is right more-so these days than when the original PSP launched.

Once again, Sony's machine makes any other competitors look like a joke. 3DS? Get lost.
