yes this is being a killjoy but has anybody else thought that with Sony's step forward in the gaming industry with the Playstation Move that maybe they aren't actually thinking about a PSP2 yet?

Yes it has been long anticipated but would that stop Sony?..they have made losses in recent yeras and adding a whole new handheld console may just bump up their overall costs and it may even make a loss against the 3DS..

I guess that maybe it is just me thinking this...

" guess that maybe it is just me thinking this..." No you are not there are enough PSP2 threads here. All it is over here is speculation about the PSP2, comparing the 3000 VS a different model over and over again, and tech help threads.

I'm not really interested in a PSP 2. I just want a PSP Go that lets me do something with my UMD's and an improved PSN Store.

I haven't seen what you are talking about but I'm sure I can say it was a fake and/or one of those fan created concepts.

The PSP is powerful enough to produce deep and fun games. The problem it have is called PIRACY. Almost everyone you see where i life that owns a PSP use it to play games downloaded illegally. The worst part if they see someone playing legal copies they ask them if they want to mod it and do the same. If Sony could battle the piracy problem and launch more games like Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walkers the PSP could easily stay for a long time. Oh and they should make more firmware updates to keep thinks fresh. That's what they need to do in my personal opinion.

Its widely expected the PSP 2 will be revealed at TGS (especially since the show will be on soon before the 3DS launch).

Though as usual, we probably get a leak of it before then.

If they are going to launch a PSP2 then why they are going to launch a Kingdom Hearths bundle on September and a new God of War bundle on December?

From what ive read they have moved it back from TGS to CES 2011 because of the Tegra 2 chip that is having trouble. Just google "psp2 tegra" and youll get what insiders believe will happen.

It makes sense when you think about it though. There WILL BE a psp2, sony has put to much money to make it a one generation brand, we are looking at least at 2 if not 3 generations of the psp before sony calls it quits.

Of course we WILL get one, I'm just worried that we're going to get this long anticipated wait for a crappy result..:|

The current PSP is a great system but the truth is that more parents get the rival system for kids.

yeap in alot of parents eyes they see "Nintendo..hmmm..this should shut ol Jimmy up for a few hours while i get stuff done around the house..or when I'm doing work at home he should be occupied" and unfortunately they don't realize that even tho everything*system + games* is cheaper..so is the quality.

IMO from the start PSP was flawed in ways that Sony doesn't typically do. Dual analog was on the first PS, so why wasn't it on the PSP? PS2 was played on DVD and made the system have a larger appeal to most people as a DVD player and same with Blue Ray and PS3. The latest systems are done in a forward thinking format, but the UMD has failed. Now what really is the proper format for a new hand held? IDK but I think something similar to a memory stick(kinda like a ds game) would probably be the best idea, it also makes it far more portable. I think that decision wasn't a reality with the PSP because memory sticks were far more expensive when the PSP was released than they are today. I think now that many technologies are far more stream lined if they simply go with the flow they could make something really worth while. I'm mostly thinking of something like the GO(in terms of size, clam shell is best for portable hand helds though), something with an HDD but also has a compact format to have physical media. Another thing I think that has hurt it is the price, when it first came out I would have bought it but the price was just too high. There were many promises made for PSP at launch and many of the titles simply didn't happen(Mega Man Legends & Resident Evil), they also gave us things like a MGS card game, who would rather have acid than portable ops? In short it had a bad launch, over priced, not so portable games, not many games and a single analog stick really is a recipe for a flop. I still am happy with it but it is a noticeably flawed machine.

Well let's see what the 3DS can do. There are a lot more casual gamers then hardcore gamers. that's why the ds sold so much. I don't like nintendo but it is true... Wel to compete with the 3DS they need a psp2. They can fit 2 GB on the cardriges of the 3DS. That explains everything..

That's another problem. Sony needs to can the umd, it would free space for more important things. Besides cartridges offer bigger capacity, load's faster and it would extend the battery life.
