With the rumors of developers and publishers getting hands-on time with the rumored PSP2 continuing to surface, it might seem like the PSP’s days are numbered. In fact, given the comments made by Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida to GamesIndustry.biz in a recent interview, Sony may also be thinking about the future of the PSP as well.  When asked how he was currently looking at the PSP and whether they were winding it down to work on a future handheld Yoshida states “Yeah, there’s no denying that – it’s about six years since the launch of the PlayStation Portable. When we launched PSP it was the newest, biggest, brightest thing that we had – and after five or six years, and releasing many games, there’s no denying that people start to see that it’s getting a bit old.” He continues “In terms of looking at new technology, it’s always the case that as soon as we look at a new platform or new tech, our R&D teams start looking at what’s new in the general space. So yes, we have been looking at new technologies, and looking at the options that we have. It’s not the right time for me to say anything about it.” Sounds like concrete news of a PSP2 might not be too far off. |
