EDGE has also posted its rumor,they are usually very reliable.

Quote

According to a source with experience of working on the device, the reports are “a perfectly reasonable description of the hardware’s capabilities.” Our source also notes that in comparison to 3DS, PSP2’s processing power is “comparable to the difference which exists between PSP and DS.”

You won't be disappointed,DC

Car battery could be needed,be we will manage

So if they would use the same 3D technique as 3DS,per eye
PSP2...450x275
3DS...400x240

Not that big difference,they could easily shoehorn 3D here

Well,to tell you the truth it wouldn't surprise me,not that I expect that much in my wildest dreams.

Big giants like Sony are hard to change,especially since command post is in Japan,PSP stronghold.I just hope that they don't focus on some numbers,"we are better than 3DS,look look pixels,transistors" and put some ridiculous price on it
That will mean nothing if games don't use them in some unique ways,nobody except hardcore sfags will care(expect them to count pixels on 3DS,PSP2).

I'm more existed to see the games and developers support(not by words),especially in the West

But if it's very very very expensive,what to say...not that I wouldn't get it if some game pops out,but sales will go down and after that dev support
If we could play PS2 games on it(emulation,not remakes),well...

The problem is that the bottleneck to better graphics is battery life, which is a scientific problem that hasn't been solved yet. There's been much outrage over the 3DS's low battery life but Nintendo didn't really screw up. They just didn't do better than anyone else. Nintendo can easily make the 3DS more powerful but what's the point if even the current tech is draining the battery too quickly? Kudos to Sony if they could figure it out but I doubt it since it is the company that always promises 10x what it delivers.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #123 on:** January 13, 2011, 06:26:09 PM »

You forget that tiny Japanese aren't very strong. Maybe they should release a special Western version with a larger battery?

Damian79 · « **Reply #124 on:** January 13, 2011, 06:26:22 PM »

You make it sound simple. Even if you go for a battery twice the size of the 3ds it ony nets you 50% more power. Also if they get a battery the size of laptops it would be a mammoth beast that wont really be ably to be played while you walk.

Full brightness, maximum sound volume, WiFi and Bluetooth on, updating 7 mail accounts and location services every 15 minutes. How long did it last? 4 hours 56 minutes

Even the ipad dies in just under 5 hours(4 hours 56 minutes) if you play 3d games with everything on and high brightness and volume.

I'm still confused about what the xperia play is

but I'm stoked for the PSP2 after using the Go for the past few weeks. Really it is one of the best handheld systems out there in terms of hardware. Almost all the problems (there are more than a few) are because of the PSP. If you take that all away, uh, the d-pad and face buttons are weak and the battery life stinks but everything else is great. A real PSP2 that doesn't have that baggage should be great; only this is sony and you never know.

If Sony can manage to get the PSP2 out for $200 it's over for Nintendo.

Sony and Nintendo are starting to believe that they are apple.

If PSP2 is $299 it would show that they really haven't learnt anything.

I fully expect the PSP2 to be at least $299, now that nintendo have given them a
free pass by being ridiculously expensive themselves.

It would be nice if Sony priced PSP2 $50 more or even less*...$50 is not much,easily neutralized by some occasional retailer discount,nobody would complain about the price difference

Ok, so do I just not have a sense of economy or is it just filthy poors that think $299 US is too expensive. Shit in the US is so damn cheap imo. I spent $60 US just for postage importing sneakers from the US last week because they're still cheaper than over here and I'm not exactly raking it in. Do people really want new technology to not be cutting edge and interesting? $299 seems like a pretty fair price for a handheld at release. The disparity between console poors and PC enthusiasts is pretty insane, and with consoles, handheld or not, you're basically guaranteed the hardwares going to last you a long time so long as you get a decent warranty. Sure, at $299 it won't be reaching market saturation in any hurry without some amazing software but if they skimped on hardware to deliver a cheaper product it would also become irrelevant in a much shorter time.

Some article

http://ingame.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/01/20/5881703-sony-may-reveal-new-psp-on-jan-27

Interesting part

Quote

I recently talked with John Koller, director of hardware marking for Sony Computer Entertainment America, and asked him about the rumored PSP phone and PSP 2. His response: "I can't talk about anything in the future. But I can tell you the PSP will be part of our line-up for the forseeable future."

He pointed out that Sony made its mark in handheld gaming by creating the PSP to be a compact-yet-powerful machine for playing bigger console-like games (titles like last year's epic "God of War: Ghost of Sparta" and "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker"). And while the iPhone may be making its mark with smaller games and Nintendo is making its mark with 3-D games, he said Sony would continue to make its mark by focusing on bigger games.

"We think Nintendo placed a bet (with 3-D) to left turn away from where maybe the iPhone is to differntiate themselves," he said. "That was their choice. We think there's a better oppoturnity for us with these larger games."

So,yeah

It's well known now that Sony will be having a big Tokyo press event on the 27th where it will unveil the PlayStation Portable 2. An analyst has clued us in to the event's name: "PlayStation Meeting."

Sony used to have PlayStation Meeting events periodically, but Thursday's installment will be the first event with the name in six years.

The last time Sony had a PlayStation Meeting was July 25, 2005. Then CEO Ken Kutaragi outlined Sony's PlayStation 3 plans through slides (see this story at IGN for a recap), Namco Bandai showed a live demonstration of what would become its terrible PS3 Gundam launch game, and we first heard the title "Lair" for Factor 5's new PS3 game. (There's a full index of happenings at IGN).

Analyst Yasuaki Fujima mentioned the PlayStation Meeting name in a Tweet earlier this week. He said that we can probably expect unexpected major announcements simply because the timing of the event comes ahead of Sony's third quarter earnings announcement, which is scheduled for February 3. He also added that it's possible to view the event as Sony's means of dealing with the 3DS by turning the attention onto itself.

The revival of the PlayStation Meeting name sounds like a perfect occasion to take the lid of PlayStation Portable's successor.

most of it is just talking the thing up as a beast. they made this mock up showing how it is now a solid device instead of a slider like the go. would be slightly disappointed if true, but w/e.

one thing mentioned about the screen is that it's better than the iphone 4's. for reference: iphone 4 retina display is ~960x640. psp1 is 480x272.

It's the same as having the two sticks underneath the face buttons, I don't understand why it's making you shit your pants so hard. You have just as much room to move your thumbs and just as much distance from the face buttons as you do if they were placed on the bottom, they're just on top.

Himu · « **Reply #179 on:** January 22, 2011, 03:47:33 PM »

Personally, I play a lot of games with the thick part of my thumb on the right stick as I control the camera, and use the tip of my thumb on the buttons. If I need more reach, I slide it or take it off. But people use bumpers with sticks ALL THE TIME and having the sticks that close to the bumpers would be uncomfortable as fuck. Imagine playing a game that has lock on, you hold -- yes, HOLD -- L button in that position while moving the left stick for movement.

Fuck that.
