PSP2 Debut Trailer
First Pics
The PSP2 is finally here. Sony revealed its brand new PlayStation Portable at an event in Tokyo today, giving us our first official look at the PlayStation maker's next bold foray into handheld gaming, the "Next Generation Portable." Here are the first details.
The Hardware
Sony confirmed many of the features of the PSP2 that we've already heard in the form of leaks, rumor and speculation. The PSP2 features a high-resolution, touch-sensitive OLED screen that's larger than the original PSP screen, tilt-sensitive SIXAXIS controls, dual analog sticks, front and back-facing cameras, and a touch sensitive back panel.
Sony boasts that the new PlayStation Portable is as powerful as a PlayStation 3. The device features built-in WiFi and 3G wireless connectivity and uses an all-new form of media storage for games—no more UMD.
Here's how Sony describes it: "NGP adopts a new game medium, a small flash memory based card, dedicated for NGP software titles. Taking advantage of the flash memory feature, this innovative card can store the full software titles plus add-on game content or the game save data directly on to the card. By adopting flash memory based card, SCE will be able to provide game cards with higher capacity in the future, allowing developers to store more game data to deliver rich and immersive games."
For now, Sony is officially calling the new PlayStation Portable by its codename, Next Generation Portable or NGP. It will be out this holiday in Japan.

Sony says the new PlayStation Portable will also play PSone games supported via its PlayStation Suite platform and will be backwards compatible with downloadable PSP games. To demonstrate this, Capcom's Jun Takeuchi demoed Monster Hunter Portable 3rd for the PSP on a NGP.
Third parties have shown demonstrations of Yakuza 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 running on the system, with Activision announcing a Call of Duty for the new PSP.

Re: PSP2 Thread
lol 3ds. But seriously though I'll probably end up buying both of them.
Uncharted:
Skip to 6:40
Multiple versions of the NGP will launch from late 2011, each with Wi-Fi capability. Only one, however, will also feature 3G.
"The first thing to clarify, which I'm not sure the presentation did a perfect job of doing today, is that all of the devices will have Wi-Fi capability; a separate SKU will have 3G," House said.

Re: PSP2 Thread
Warning added to OP.

My opinion on it. Cluttered!
Too much on the device...With the 2nd analog stick and a TouchScreen, it just seems....over-the-top and may I add, that the design is awful compared to the 1k/2k/3k.

Re: PSP2 Thread
the light rendering in the uncharted thing looked well. can someone post a spec comparison between the 3ds and ngp and other handhelds from the old wiffy?
meh, the touch screen on either side not my thing. i really hate nintendo for all these wanky peripherals and gimmicks.
my sony fanboy friend said that they've ported mgs4 to it. thats pretty good. It probably wont do well as the psp was dying out despite its graphics and such. sure i'll keep the ears open
