Source: PSP2 to release Holiday 2011

Developers and publishers have been told that PSP2 will release at the end of next year, a British source familiar with the matter has told VG247.

 

“We’ve been told it’s coming in late 2011,” said our man.

 

As has been previously reported, developers have been creating games for the system for many months, with Netherrealm Studios being the first to go on the record and admit it had a dev kit last month.

 

PSP2 is about as badly concealed as a games system can be. It’s been common knowledge for much of this year that content is being made for the system, and that dev kits are in the wild.

 

CPU and GPU specs have yet to be confirmed.

 

A large amount of off-the-record information was released in May 2010, and the flow of rumour has been constant throughout the year.

 

We were told in May that games had already been canned for the system.

 

Only last month, Develop again reiterated the fact that numerous developers were creating content for PSP2, saying that Sony was aiming for a “significant launch window line-up”.

 

Sony has been obviously silent on the chatter, but has gone on the record to say there are “no plans” to include 3D. This tallies with what we’ve been told in the past month.

 

The machine has a forward-facing and backward-facing camera, and will come with both touch-screen and physical controls.

 

Given the projected release date, it seems likely PSP2 will be announced at GDC or E3 next year.

They could take a bite out of the Nintendo market if they are smart. Released an 8GB version for 199 with some good launch titles and it could steal some of Nintendos customers.

 

On the other hand if it is 250 or more then I dont see it doing so well. Who would buy that when you could buy a 3D handheld with HUGE backwards compatible game selection for the same price?

[/size][/font]I know exactly what you mean :bigyellowgrin: but I doubt it would be so easy this time around. Seems like they've perfected the anti-hack with the PS3. Won't be surprised if some of that tech makes it to the PSP. I just hope that whatever media they use loads faster than UMDs. Also, Super AMOLED screen please.

 

:lol:

Oh that. Yeah well, the 1K series was vintage awesome simply for the emulation possibilities. Still got mine. Had one since '07. Surprisingly a majority of the games I'm buying this month are on the PSP. Contemplating a PSPNo too.

 

I think I'm turning into Karoo 2.0. Help.

 

Even i got a PSP 4m 2006 ...

 

Emulation n homebrew is possible in 2k series also...
