Forums - Gaming Discussion - Will Sony have a new handheld in by mid-09?

@thekitchensink, for what point?

There are already some psp games, which look almost like PS2 games.
You expect PSP2 games to look worse?

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

the next psp needs to ditch the umd and needs to be blu ray compatible sounds wild but thats just me. i was dissapointed wen i got my psp cause the software was so poor, i just used my psp for music.



You have no concept of how computers work. You have no understanding of electronics. You have no understanding of microprocessors. You're just making shit up.
You WISH.

Firstly, there will NOT be an 11nm Cell in 2010.
If YOU say so. =)) 22-32nm will be enough.

taking a PSP and adding a smaller Cell will not give you PS3 level graphics.
PS3 RENDER graphics in 720p/1080p, PSP2 will need to do only in 480p at MOST.
480p = 720x480 = 345 600
720p = 1280x720 = 921 600
3x time difference.

Thirdly, how will a 32nm Cell cost less money and consume less power than today's PSP CPU? Just because the fab process is smaller doesn't mean the chip by default costs less and consumes less power.
Well atleats it WON`T cost 300$ alone.

Fourthly, the Cell is clocked at 3.2GHz in the PS3. This will never happen in a portable
Higher Techprocess make LESS consuming power and COOLER in MOST cases.

I imagine that's lower now due to the 65nm Cell, but that's not going to reach the kind of power consumption levels which are an absolute requirement for a handheld device in less than 2 years. Sorry, just not possible.
Ok, you convinced me. Ha.
