Forums - Sony - PSP2 In Development, As Powerful As Xbox

Source: KOTAKU

 

Eurogamer's Spanish outpost reckon they're in possession of some specs for an all-new PlayStation Portable, currently in the planning stages at Sony HQ. This isn't the PSPgo. It's a true successor to the PSP.

They claim that the new handheld could output games on the same level as the original Xbox, and is built around a newer version of Imagination Technology's PowerVR SGX543MP (which you can read up on here), which in its improved state would be a quad core chip. It's claimed this thing would be able to run Open GL 2.0 and, somehow, DirectX 10.

Sounds just a bit too good to be true to us, but then, who knows! All we want to know is if it has a second analogue stick...

Reached for comment, Sony would only say "we do not comment on rumour and speculation".

Just once? I would like to go through a year without a new version of the psp...¬_¬



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

I doubt it



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

This would be stupid in terms of SONYs part if it was true. The best handheld has worse graphics than Nintendo 64 but still sells due to its games and plus Nintendo makes a nice profit. SONY better learn bigger isnt better. They should add a touch screen, second analog, more features and thats all thats needed



By 2011 the original X-Box will be ten years old. Handhelds usually catch up to what consoles were doing 10 years before. This is not as shocking as many seem to think. Now if it had 360's graphics..... I'd buy day one ^_^

LOL.  Nice.  I want a PSP2, just not right now.  The Go should have a nice amount of time on the market before we know anything about this.



Yay.... rumors.... Just what I need first thing in the morning.
