Sony Unveils 'Next Generation Portable' PSP2

Confirming previous rumors, Sony has officially announced its 'next generation' PSP, codenamed the Next Generation Portable (NGP).


The NGP will feature a 960x544 OLED resolution screen (that's twice the resolution of the original PSP!), 3G connectivity, Sixaxis tilt control, and both front and rear-facing touchpads.

Among the new features in the NGP is what Sony is calling "Location-Based Entertainment," which tracks where you are in the world and can, among other things, show you which games are most popular in your area, the exact number of users playing which games near you, and the ability to instantly purchase a game you see being played.


Sony's Next Generation Portable will be released by the end of 2011.
