PSP2 (NGP, Next Generation Portable)


Sony has unveiled its new hand held. The Sony NGP, Next Generation Portable, will have a 5-inch OLED screen, capacitive multitouch, a rear multitouch surface, motion control, 3G, 2 full control sticks, PlayStation Suite support, a quad-core CPU, a quad-core GPU, and be capable of playing full PS3 games.
After weeks of rampant speculation over the future of the PlayStation Portable brand, Sony has unveiled the next evolution of its handheld lineup: the Sony NGP, or “Next Generation Portable.” The new handheld is not the device we saw the other day, either. Sony claims the new device is as powerful as a PlayStation 3 and has software to back it up. At the unveiling, Konami’s Hideo Kojima came on stage to show off a version of Metal Gear Solid 4 running smoothly on the handheld.

At the unveiling, Sony president Kaz Hirai says the new handheld was conceived with five core principles in mind, reports PC World. NGP was built around social connectivity, location-awareness, a “revolutionary” user interface, augmented reality, and PlayStation Suite compatibility.

NGP full feature list:

Quad-core processor: Smartphones may have just breached dual-core processing, but Sony is including a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor in NGP along with a SGX543 quad-core graphics processor. Sony claims the device is about four times as powerful as any portable device we’ve seen. It will need that power too if it hopes to run full PS3 games. Sony expects battery life to be 4-5 hours.



The NGP is scheduled for Holiday 2011 launch.
