"Almost PS2" to "Xbox" level graphics is a pretty big leap. Bigger screen "Next Gen" graphcs Dual Analog Sticks The PSP is proof that handhelds do not improve by becoming more similar to consoles. The DS is proof that innovation and simplicity results in better games. Two analogs on a handheld just isn't practical. Personally, my ideal PSP would just have a slight jump in graphics, more ergonic design/size/button layout, would be less fragile, and have less multimedia focus. Who honestly uses their PSP as an mp3 player? Or to watch movies? The only multimedia my PSP really ends up playing is porn.

Your listed improvements for PSP 2 aren't even problems on the PSP. If you are barely going to increase the graphics, why not just keep the PSP? The PSP's graphics are already far better than DS. The design is great and has been since the original version. It's not fragile. I am using my PSP as a MP3 player right now, actually. I'm listening to IGN podcasts. I do that all the time. 2 analog sticks would not be difficult and would allow more game types to be successful. The point of a handheld is playing anywhere you go. It's not a requirement for the game to be different than a console game. I believe Mario and Sonic at he olympics is selling just fine on DS. The PSP is doing great right now, so there's no reason for a PSP 2 yet. The graphical capability of the PSP is fantastic. By the time a PSP 2 is out, the graphics will most likely be inbetween the Wii/Xbox and 360. The only reason for an upgrade sooner than several more years is adding a touch screen. That would justify less of a jump in graphics.
