The New PSP. Codename NGP Announced.

We've had rumors, we've had leaks, we've had buzz. Now though we officially have an announcement. The successor to the PSP has now been announced in the form of the codenamed NGP (Next Generation Portable). The new handheld was announced literally minutes ago at a Sony press conference in Japan.

This device has been designed on five core tenets: Revolutionary User Interface, Social Connectivity, Location-based Entertainment, Converging Real and Virtual, and Playstation Suite Compatibility.

What does that mean? Well let's start with the most obvious improvement. Dual analog sticks for one, which has been a long time coming, 5-inch OLED display (960x544 resolution -- 4x the PSP's); 3G, WiFi and GPS; front and rear touchpads; and a 3-axis motion sensor for good measure, as well as front and rear facing camera's. And who could overlook the games, which will no longer be UMD based, but will instead be flash-memory cards.

As of the time of this writing no price point has been announced, but there is still press conference left. The NGP is slated for a holiday 2011 release date.
