The Playstation NGP (PSP2) Has ARRIVED!

So at 1 AM Eastern Time this morning Sony unveiled it's latest entry into the portable gaming world. The Playstation NGP a heavy hoursepowered monster of a machine ready to crash right down into the hand held genre.

TADA!

Look familiar? Design change wasn't really all that drastic from the current PSP. Add in another analog stick, give the bad boy a touch screen, beef up the graphics and you have yourself a roided up successor. To be honest it does look impressive and is packing a lot of impressive specs. Of which I will list for you right now!

• GPU: SGX543MP4+
• External Dimensions: Approx. 182.0 x 18.6 x 83.5mm (width x height x depth) (tentative, excludes largest projection)

Everything that has been reported on the net for months (spec wise at least) has been right, even the touch pad on the back! Sony wants to have the most powerful system on the market and it looks like they have done it. It also will have a social aspect similar to the 3DS where it can detect others with NGPs around you and show what they are playing, chat with them, etc.. Back that with hand held versions of Uncharted, Call of Duty, and Killzone and it's gonna have the gaming community watering at the mouth. There's just one thing though... Sony didn't really announce a god damn thing!

Sure they showed you pretty pictures, they even showed off Uncharted running on the system which you can see below.

That's not the point though! there is no announced date, price, battery life, NOTHING! I've seen a lot of comments from people saying "Nintendo just got left in the dust" and how they need to "step their game up". Really? I don't agree in the slightest, look having a portable PS3 is great but that system debuted at $600! or did everyone else forget that part? Will this debut at that price? ABSOLUTELY NOT! but you have to take a step back and thing this sucker will not be cheap and if it takes off it officially says "we will buy anything no matter the price as long as it's pretty". As far as today goes enjoy the coverage! Marvel at the graphics and capabilities and just have a nerdgasm. Tomorrow though, take the time to realize how hard this thing will hit you in the wallet.
