It's Official. Sony has announced the successor to the PSP. The PSP2 or NGP as it is currently being called is the next handheld from Sony. The new device sports dual analog sticks, a 5" OLED touchsceen
with 940x544 resolution along with front and rear facing cameras and a touchpad on the back of the device as well as a gyroscope, accelerometer and compass for motion controls In addition the device will support 3G data and has a built in GPS. No official release date has been stated but it looks to launch some time this holiday season. With all these fancy features it sounds like the NGP will come with a hefty price tag but with the Nintendo 3DS launching in just a couple of months on March 27th Sony can't really afford to charge an arm and leg for their shiny new toy. The 3DS will be launching at $250 so Sony needs to keep their price close to have a real fighting chance against Nintendo. I say a $300 tag at launch would be very reasonable being only $50 more than the 3DS but with many more features to offer. What do you think the NGP should be priced at launch? And are you excited for the NGP at all?
