PSP2 Might Appear Next Year, Will Be A Graphics Beast
Please just have a second analog stick!
The PlayStation Portable platform has been around since 2005. That is a long time when it comes to technology. According to a “protected source” speaking with brightsideofnews.com, the second coming of the PSP platform is due within the next year, and will have astounding graphical prowess.
The current crop of PlayStation Portables uses a custom graphics chip, and it can push graphics that look better than the original PlayStation and comparable to the PlayStation 2 in some cases. The PlayStation Portable 2 is rumored to be using a PowerVR chip, most likely a quad-core version known as the SGX543MP4. Clocked at a mere 200 MHz this baby can pump out 133 million polygons and can fill four billion pixels in a single second, as opposed to the current PlayStation Portable which does 33 million polygons and around 660 million pixels per second. What does that mean? Well, the more polygons a screen is composed of, the better the graphics generally look. At those levels, the PlayStation Portable 2 would be at around the same graphics level as an Nvidia GeForce 8600, a desktop graphics card.
Nobody but Sony and its graphics partner(s) know for sure what the PlayStation Portable 2 will be able to do, but if the recent advances in mobile technology are any indication, the next generation of mobile consoles will feature slick graphics that would even look nice on a large television screen.

Sign me up!
hel yeah! screw the PSPGO
awesome, l’ll get that too
Must buy for me.
dam same as a 8600, not bad.
If only they could get it to be like the 9800 : )
Awesome news, guess I can just wait to buy a new handheld
@shadowjin
why do u always diss the psp go?
Shadowjin either can’t afford one or doesn’t realize that it’s the same cost as a PSP with a 16GB memory card.
I seriously doubt that a PSP 2 would come out next year. They’re working on the PSP 4000 with bluetooth PLUS the extra power on the system would require much more battery life.
@MakaiOkami
shut the fuck up you fat idiot.. no one cares about your lame ass opinions.
@gamingfriek
well ive only said 2-3 negatives things against the go and they werent anything “bad” but realistic. That doesnt count as “always”. Why buy a GO now when most the new games arent available for download? Thats a perfect example… whats Sony say? well its not there fault. Having extra Money to spend doesnt justify paying high prices when the negatives are more than positives.
@ gamingfriek
why do you care?
most new games arent even out on the PSN..
@Makai
Yes Maki.. every single person that doesnt love the PSPGO cant afford one. thanks for showing everyone how ignorant you are.
id buy no matter what
nothing would stop me
I hope they don’t go touch screen like that one picture suggests…I think that would be a mess for high action games. Not to mention I’m slightly OCD when it comes to screens with fingerprints all over them so I would constantly be polishing the thing up, it’s why I don’t have an iPhone…well also because I think it’s a waste of money and I don’t need to have millions of pointless apps. for my phone, I just need it to make calls and text….oh and yes Makai, I could afford one.
@shadowjin
yea i know a lot of games arent out on the ps store, but just give it a chance, well everybody has their opinion
@steelfox
dude i was just asking
I knew it! I’ve been asking if what is the real agenda of the PSP Go? I really believe that the PSP Go is an experiment on what would they implement on the next PSP. I just really hope that it would have a second analog and can be used a phone. The second analog was not put into the PSP Go because it is not meant to replace the older system. And would not be wise to do so.
One reason why i decided not to go for a GO…… hope the PSP2 or whatever its gonna be called will still include UMDs…….
sold
I want one now!
y did sony waste their time with the pspgo?
The PSPGo was trying to expand their market some. My 10 year daughter HAD to have one when she saw them. She saved up her money forever to get one and she loves it. A few years from now, what is she most liable to purchase? The next cool Sony product or something else…
The PSPGo just wasn’t aimed at most of us (assuming most of the people in here have an old-school PSP). They also needed a way to test the digital download waters before launching full force into it with a (for real) new system. This also encourages devs to go digital which is some nice future-proofing for when the next one does come out.
This all makes sense to me in a long-term way, it is just a little aggravating in a short-term way.
WOW … If the graphics are that good … I buy 2 … lmao!
That mock-up of psp2 reminds me of the Atari Lynx but way sexier.
