I'm sure it will happen though. I think everyone could agree the psp has definitely been a nice success for Sony's first handheld.

I can only see them releasing an "upgraded" version. Like maybe another analog stick. Because honestly, how are you going to improve the graphics drastically enough to make a whole new model?

No technology isn't stopping. The graphics will be even better for the next gen of handhelds, and even if they weren't that's not solely what pushes the release of new handhelds. DS looks barebly better than the SP to me.

Depends on the games though...certain games do appear to be visually on par with an SP, while other, such as Metroid Prime Hunters and Super Mario 64 DS, are no-where near possible on an SP.

*Sigh* I'm sick of hearing this...There is definately going to be a PSP2 sometime in the future. As of now, no one knows an exact date, but I myself, along with many other people, believe it will come out within a few years. And i'm sure if Sony was making a second PSP they would advertise it untill you saw the commercials in your dreams, that's just how Sony is. But when they do make the second PSP I think it will be awesome. :D

They'll never release a version with a second analog, because then everyone with the old PSP won't be able to play the new games designed with dual analog in mind. Console manufacturers never change the core design once they've released the system. If a PSP version 2 comes out it will simply be slimmer, possibly have built in nand flash storage and maybe a camera. But as far as the graphics core and control scheme they will never change. Gauranteed.

I think it's what you think a 2nd Gen. means?  If you mean some new hardware, then yea, the 2nd. Gen is here, because some of the new PSP's have new model LCD's, better square button hitting and stuff.  If by 2nd Gen by a PSP2, that's completely in rumor.  I may even doubt they will, seeing as the PSP is losing it...no offense....

Huh what are u talking about that makes no sense. The DS now is nothing like the original game boy. PS1 didn't have any analogs yet they added two while the system was still being sold. I don't think it's that hard to get used to a second joystick. Two joysticks have been around for a while now.

The psp shall have a sequel, and it shall be good. However, they will wont to avoid repetitiveniss... Instead of PSP2 it shall have an original name... PSP Colour! (soon to be followed by the advance, the slightly improved advance, and than a "innovative" upgrade)

You forgot before the color they have to make a smaller version called the psp pocket, then with the "innovative" upgrade they have to make a better version some months later.

I'm not talking about a PSP 2, I'm talking about a 2nd geneation PSP like the Playstation Slim. You know like DS Lite. I think Sony will release a (2ND GENERATION PSP not to be confused with PSP 2) They will make a new model PSP with a slimmer build and more battery effecient and possibly more storage and definetly a new motherboard thats downgrade proof. But as far as a PSP 2 is concerned this generation of mobile gaming is still in its infancy we will not see a PSP 2 for another 4-5 years.
