It’s official – Sony announced the next generation of its Play Station Portable, codenamed NGP.
Sony's NGP
The NGP will focus on several key concepts: Revolutionary User Interface, Social Connectivity, Location-Based Entertainment, Converging Real and Virtual Reality.
Specs: Quad-Core ARM Cortex A9 processor, 5″ multi-touch OLED display with 960 x 544 resolution, dual analog sticks, 3G, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, rear-mounted multi-touch touchpad, accelerometer/gyroscope/electronic compass, built-in stereo speakers, microphone, and both front and rear-facing cameras.
Games will reside on new Flash media.
It is unclear when the NGP will be launched, but it will occur this year. Likely Sony announced this early in the year to let would-be Nintendo 3DS purchasers that a new Sony handheld will be coming out later in the year. Nintendo’s new 3DS is scheduled for release in the U.S. in the March timeframe.
