Following from my post the other week about the potential successor to the original PSP, there is more info courtesy of TechDigest. They are saying that in fact the PSP2, as it has been called up to now, will be called the PSP <subtitle>, with the subtitle being something suitably catchy. Bambino perhaps. Or maybe Dolphin. Or maybe neither of those.
Anyhow, other info suggests that the handheld will debut at E3 in June, and then actually be ready for retail in Q409.
Specs-wise, it will apparently have the slide-out screen, possible touch-sensitive, one analogue joystick and a D-pad, no UMD, and be in two memory iterations – suspects are 8GB and 16GB. Of course, I’d expect all PSP classic titles to be ready at launch, and probably some new ones too. However the one thing that isn’t clear is what killer-apps or USPs it is bringing to the table to try and battle the DSi and iPhone 3G… time will tell I guess…
