Let's Not Talk About The PSP2

Kotaku:

During this year's Tokyo Game Show, I asked Sony Computer Entertainment exec Shuhei Yoshida about it.

Imagine a device of similar shape and size of an iPhone but about twice as thick. The entire front of the device is a beautiful lcd display that doubles as a touch screen with multi touch capabilities.. Now the screen of the unit slides similar to a droid to reveal the psp controls we know and love but with a second analog nub.If you flip the device over the back side of the screen houses the umd drive... Here's where it gets exciting. Thanks to a partnership with ericsson the psp2 is a smart phone. With 3g, internal memory, wifi, full data options and has the newest generation of walkman technology built in. We can call it the PSphone.. That, I can gurantee you would sell like mad..

I think the PSP2 is real, just not finished. Also, from the sound of this interview, Sony have not given up on digital distribution- 'it takes time for internet speed to go up' Shuhei Yoshida said. Hopefully they do DD and physical media at the same time. Its funny how Sony exect everyone to believe that there is no PSP2, especially since it would be dumb to not release one. Old tech, piracy and excellent competition have doomed the current PSP, but it does have a few heavy hitters left. I expect Agito Xiii to be the last big PSP title.

That sounds awesome BUT the UMD drive would be the death of it. A flash based media and 4G connectivity would make your idea perfect IMO.

I’m Singing the PS Vita Post-Launch Blues

The PS Vita is a fine piece of hardware that enjoyed a very solid launch. Now we need a second wave of games.

Jio5168d ago

This is what I hate about being an early adopter. I bought 3 games and now I have nothing to play after beating them. The nearest game I want doesn't come out until May, and even then the game I really want doesn't even have a release date.

NovusTerminus5168d ago

Just wondering, what is it you are wanting?

Right now I am waiting for Gravity Rush.

limewax5167d ago

Waiting on LBP myself. But I don't get why people think there aren't enough games. I have little deviants and escape plan, I would love Wipeout and Uncharted but don't have the money. I don't think there is a lack of games at all. The system currently has more games I want than any other system at the moment

KUV19775168d ago

I'm waiting for Gravity Rush too. It's funny though how the author doesn't want to buy Uncharted because he 'plays in bursts' and doesn't want to 'scan a room for 10 minutes for a lever' while playing in one of these bursts and he thinks it is meant for the big screen but he wants a new Metal Gear Portable. Makes total sense to me.

tiffac0085168d ago (Edited 5168d ago )

Yes to Gravity Rush~!

Someone needs to tell the author to look at the internet because there are tons of sources that will tell him where the lever is. lol!

GribbleGrunger5167d ago

it's not difficult at all to find levers in UGA... in fact i can't remember getting stuck once throughout the whole game. the only real difficulty was finding all the hidden gems and rubbings etc. to me, the author is deliberately finding reasons to reduce his wish list in order to prove a point.

ThanatosDMC5166d ago (Edited 5166d ago )

You're lucky you only bought 3. I bought 8 plus 2 psn games. I want a Monster Hunter game. I'd settle for a MH Tri G port from the wii.

Chaostar5168d ago (Edited 5168d ago )

1 month after a launch line-up of, what, 20-30 games and you want a second wave?

And they say us gamers are an impatient, self-entitled bunch /s

I am looking forward to Gravity Rush however :)

Edit: it was 26 games...

oNIXo5167d ago (Edited 5167d ago )

That's what I don't get. The damn thing just came out, and people think that there should be 300+ games right now. It just came out, jeez. Give it some time. We wait months for a console game and, for some reason, people can't do the same for a brand-new piece of hardware.

I love my Vita, and I just got Plats Vs. Zombies for my wife, and now she loves it too. With all the stuff I already downloaded onto my PS3 I have a solid library of games to play on my Vita. I'm willing to wait, I can't fathom why other people won't do the same.

GribbleGrunger5167d ago

i've only played one game and that's UGA. that game alone makes the wait worth while. i'm now waiting on LBPVita and i'm happy to do it too.

26 six launch titles and over 200 PSP games (at reduced price) and STILL people complain about a lack of games to play!? incredible. eventually the multiplats will come along with the Vita only games and then Sony are in business.

neogeo5168d ago

I did not buy mine yet, but I will as soon as a price drop hits, then ill be picking up all those launch games in the discount bin.

specialguest5167d ago

I haven't bought one yet, but I've been playing my brother's Vita once in a while. I'm actually waiting for a memory card price drop. It just goes against my principles to pay so much for so little.

No rush to buy one, since I've already played UC:GA, and the other games I want are not out yet.

longcat5167d ago

i got one for $162 (used) on amazon. Mint condition. They have some decent prices early in the morning from the warehouse deals.

Waiting for gravity rush and hoping to find a cheap memory card by then

Unexpecta5167d ago

Just to let you know, that price drop isn't happening anytime soon.

If you can't afford the PSVita for $250 bucks, then you don't have the privilege to play it.

MasterCornholio5168d ago (Edited 5168d ago )

At least the Vita didn't launch as badly as the 3DS (In terms of games library) so I'm really not complaining. But I do hope that Sony announces some more games soon.
