The very first details about the release of the PSP follow-up, the PlayStation NGP, have traveled half-way around the world from Tokyo, straight into your brain. After weeks and months of speculation, Sony announced to a group of eager gamers that the PSPs successor, the NGP (short for "Next Generation Portable") will appear on store shelves during the holiday season of 2011.
Features will include...
- 5-inch OLED sceen
- Front and rear touchpads and cameras
- GPS functionality
- 3G speed
- Raised dual analog sticks
- SixAxis controls
- Plays NGM (or "New Game Media")
Sony is referring to the new user-interface for the NGP as LiveArea which will support the PlayStation Store, Trophies, friends, web browers, messaging and serve as a launching pad for other applications. The "Near" program will use the internal GPS to track your location and movement to provide information on what gamers are playing in your area.
Recognizable franchises heading for the new platform include LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, Killzone, Resistance, Hot Shots Golf and WipEout. New titles include Little Deviants, Broken, Reality Fighters and Gravity Daze.
No price point was announced, but check back with G4TV.com for full coverage from the event in the hours to come..

True, but Sony has always been about quality, and this looks very quality.

The problem with Sony is they try too hard when they release a device to make it the most powerful or have more features that it jacks the price up too high.

Can't wait until it is ready for pre-order I will definitely been one of the first in my area to have one of these. I love the idea that it is basically a larger platform system that has been put into a small portable hand held system it is about time some has done this. I just hope that the price is not to much.
theantigzus
yeah id much rather buy this than a 3DS, 3D is cool for a while but come on if it doesnt add anyhting to gameplay id much prefer better resolution. Whats the point of 3D when the images them selves dont look that good?

if the gps function can be used more like "hey someone is playing this game right next to you would u like to join?" or compare trophies, or even do a lan party than it would interest me, but other than that it's still a maybe

im shock that the rumors era real but i don't get the dual screen for what ????????????so people can see what your playing or browsing

yea, I read the Live blog as it was being announced on Playstation's Blog. So much amazing information. I can't believe that EVERYTHING we've wanted thing to be it's actually gonna happen. Also, with the announcement of Playstation Suite, it's a relief that the Xperia Play isn't gonna be the signature Playstation phone. Just the first one out of the gate. I highly recommend that anyone interested just wait and see what's next. The ability to have a Playstation experience on any mobile device is a lot more exciting than jumping at this...attempt at one.

WOW! I'm really impressed! I've been waiting for a new hand held and i must say, i'm more sold with the NGP than the 3DS, but im still convinced with the 3DS.
Good features Sony, and nice list of premiere games. I hope they don't mess up with the design and price.

What do I look for in a handheld device? Something which can be booted up quickly to pass the time in an airport or on a plane. This can easily be handled by my phone and iPad. I bought the original PSP on launch day thinking I'd use it often when I travel. Guess what? I don't and never really have. While the specs do look nice, count me out.

hey everyone look at this article
http://www.vg247.com/2011/01 /27/yoshida-on-psp2-pricing-it s-not-going-to-be-599/
so they already sais it won't be $600 haha. Hell it better not be. Now i am even more worried about it being like $350-450 since they could have said it won't be $399 or $499.
