Sony’s NGP (PSP2) “Next Generation Portable”

Looks like Sony got it right this time with dual analogue sticks and super crisp OLED screen. Games will have to be home console quality though for me to want to carry one of these around; it’s a bit larger than the PSP-3000 (isn’t exactly small either). The ideal size for me would be iPhone 4 with some extra room for buttons and sticks on the sides of the screen…

Once I got my iPhone I never wanted to carry my old PSP or even DS Lite on me because the games weren’t compelling enough to justify taking-up all of my pocket space… iPhone games are good enough on the go. I think Sony might have an up-hill battle selling this to smart phone owners… And unless you are a Nintendo fanboy, or rich kid, the 3DS will be a hard sell too.

Here are some interesting news posts about it:

Sony working on "good will" program to give digital copies of your UMD collection

Good! That’s what I was hoping for. If it’s a good program it will be even more reason to upgrade to a PSP Go. [via engadget.com]

The PSP Go introduction video.

The PSP Go is quite a bit smaller than the old hardware, especially when the controls are slid under the screen. The main reason I don’t play my old PSP much now is because it’s size isn’t really very portable without cargo pants; especially if you want to bring more than 1 game with you. The lack of UMD games alone will be a huge upgrade. At about the size of an iPhone, the new PSP should be a great redesign. [via GiantBomb]
