ps4 will never come out. psp is the only brand that will live on

PSP2 next year.
PS4 no later than 2013.

well for psp2 i would like motion controls/multi touch screen (Iphone like no buttons) and an optional pay on-line service to play/buy games on-line from anywhere.

PS4 I really just want a motion controller like the wii (nunchuk and remote style) everything else will just upgrade... nothing new.

I just want both to be backwards compatible.

PSP2 in 2011 and PS4 in 2013 imo

all brands has always released a new console every 5 years, even if they still have there previous console on the market, so im sticking to my prediction 2012

PSP2 - Really want to see, but depending on features my mind could change.

Deciding Factors
-Dual analogue, R2, L2, R3, L3
-3G/4G (PSN anywhere, Phone calls, Remote Play)
-Full PSN experiance
-Longer battery life

Graphics can stay the same.

PS4 - PS3 has yet to show any signs of falling behind techically. Until I here Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, and Polyphony Digital saying PS3 is out of growth room, I see no need for a PS4. The only new feature PS3 needs is HDMI 1.4 for people interested in higher quality 3D, and 2160p output. I think we can pretty much count on Sony adding 1.4 in a future revision.

My prediction for the PSP2 is this:

It will support up to 720p resolution and be able to be plugged into your PS3 to view it on the TV (and when paired be able to use your PS3 controller for its games).

Games will come on special hardmodded sony memory sticks (with say built in memory around 128gig) and it will support BC with the PSP only via the PSN.

It will support PS2 games downloaded off the PSN (of course having dual analog sticks)

The PS2 games seems like it will work. Im thinking the psp and ps2 will be discontinued around the same time and that day they will add PS2 BC to all ps3s via a firmware update. Then shortly after they will start offering ps2 games off the PSN to use on your newly bc ps3 (and the future psp2)

As far as PS4:

Will come standard with 3D gaming (but still use the other if you cannot support 3D gaming)

Will come in at or around end of 2013
(This way there will be plenty of 3D televisions out on the market (and they will be cheaper)

Will support 500gig multilayered Blue-ray discs (I think its Panasonic who is doing these now?)

Will support 100% BC with ps1/ps2 games
(I dont think Sony will do BC with the ps3 unless the hardware in the machine is very similar)

I only wish they include some battery in the PSP 2. The current version is so limited it is almost useless to a frequent traveller, except in the hote room. It would also help if they stop trying making it a multimedia center (who want to watch movies in such a small screen?) and focus more in the gaming aspect. Considering their current efforts, I am not surprised with the beating the DS is imposing at the PSP.

i always wait a year or so to buy new console if any problem arises.
the only consoles i bought first days were nintendos, but not anymore.

sony now =)
