Sony said it will rival PS3 graphics!

Sony formally revealed the heavily-rumored PSP2 in Japan today. The device has been codenamed NGP for "next generation portable." It is set for release by the end of 2011. Pricing information was not provided.

NGP will use a new game medium, a small flash memory based card, dedicated for NGP software titles. The cards will store full game titles and add-on game content or save data. Sony notes that they'll be able to provide higher capacity cards in the future to allow developers to store more game data. The device also supports PlayStation Network Trophies.

The NGP contains a touch screen on top and a touch pad on the bottom. This will allow players to interact with games through "touch, grab, trace, push and pull" moves of the fingers.

im calling BS on the rivaling ps3 graphics....the original psp was supposed to be on the same level as the ps2 in terms of graphics, but it turned out to look just a little better than what the ps1 looked like graphically..if the games are digital download only, im not buying it

That looks pretty much the same as the PS3 version. And PSP games only looked like PS1 games when the PSP first came out. Now there are games like Metal Gear Solid and Kingdom Hearts that look better than their PS2 counterparts.

And the games aren't going to be digital download only. They're going to come on small memory sticks.

Wow that looks pretty good I might get it, even though I haven't played any of my games in a year.
