RUMOR: PSP2 specs leaked

On par with iphone? i r disapoint, was expecting a bit better. did people honestly believe it would be as powerful as PS3? heck even half as powerful?

A quad-core cpu and 1gb of ram in a handheld:shock:. I think they are trying too hard to make it like a home console.

[QUOTE="rolo107"]This is too good to be true. It has everything you could possibly want in a modern portable. If this thing is priced reasonably, $300, which would be possible, then this thing could be incredible for me. laus_basic

Only way for this to be priced at $300 is if Sony's willing to lose quite a bit of money per system and I don't see that happening. $350 minimum.

lol.......HOW??

no way in hell is 4 cores a standard in a freakin handheld

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]I'm going to say these are strictly debug specs if true. Quad core for a handheld is moronic.musicalmac

[QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="SoraX64"]Most PC games don't even utilize 4 cores, putting a quad core in a handheld is more than overkill. SoraX64

I think Sony will charge $250 for the device to at least be competitive with the 3DS pricing. But I would pay $300 for it, those specks look real to me. A lot of the tech there is coming to smart phones this year, so they aretotally possible.

Hm... if true, even I would have a hard time seeing this come in under $299. I just hope Sony doesn't push any farther than that or it'll be DOA.

So this is DD only? What's the game medium? With specs like that I expect it's game to be priced even higher than 3DS games ($40)

wait....is this DD only?

if so then that's total fail and turns me off completely

I dont think its a quadcore.... dualcores is all I can find when you google search the CPU.

yea i haven't heard any rumors at all on the games, backwards compatibility or anything like that

hmmmm....interesting

i really hope this isn't another PSP go

This^ A dual core A9 uses 40% less power to perform the same tasks of a single core A9.

Well technologically speaking it's just fine, but how much is it going to cost vs. a dual core? Is the performance increase really worth jacking up the production costs for, when competitive pricing is THE most important factor here?Cherokee_Jack

god...this REALLY sounds like last gens PSP vs. DS

but i really hope the PSP2 actually has ALOT of good games this time around and not just a mere handful

yes! this is more like it, as soon as people get over the gimmicky 3ds this will definately rule the market :D

3DS more powerful am confirmed. well someone had to do a silly :P. seriously though thats quite pokey. they havent given a speed for the CPUs though but knowing sony they will probably be on the faster side of things (wikipedia mentions 2GHz as their max speed). if true it also shows a clear shift in focus away from nintendo as a competitor in the handheld market as i speculated....sony are clearly going after apple. now if they sell it at cost (im assuming itll cost 350-400 per unit to make at launch) and advertise it well they could pull the rug from under apple as far as apple making inroads into gaming goes. they will also need to work on the interface...XMB simply wont cut it. as for the battery....there using an OLED screen which is very smart. there far more power efficent than normal LCDs and the screen is always one of the big drains in portable devices. i reckon ninty will take a similar route for the 3DSLite but thats for another thread. there is still going to be quite a bit of juice sucking though so a big battery will be a must. if they can get it to 6 hours of gaming then job done. but yeah interesting indeed.osan0

yea i hope you're right

IMO the 3DS doesn't need dual because the touch screen is great for aiming in FPS's.....metroid prime hunters had amazing FPS controls IMO...game sucked though :P

"How's the battery power?

The system will take about 3 1/2 hours to charge and then last about three to five hours on a full charge. That's with the 3D effects activated. The company guesses that people who keep the 3D turned off could get as many as eight hours. Turning off the system's wireless via a switch, lowering its brightness settings or even running it in a dimmer power-save mode will all help the machine last longer. The system charges off of a power cord or while sitting in a plugged-in "cradle."

really it just depends if the analogs have improved at all

having two is great...but i also want the quality of the analogs to improve as well

the nubs just really cramped my thumps way too fast....i think 3ds inward design looks more comfortable than the PSP's nubs

If it is DD only then I guess PSP owners with a pile of games on UMD better get ready to buy them again... :(misiufraggle

or just not get rid of their PSP's?

Take your DS in your hands right now. Put your thumb where the 3DS stick is and put the other on the right part of the touch screen (like with RE: Revelations). Is it really uncomfortable to you, I mean really.

and how is it a waste of space, touch screen is there for menus and additional controls (like a 2nd analog) and also for Backward compatibility.

Original Link Updated!

-Features External 'Pocket Processing Unit' , resembles a 'heavily stylized grenade'

-Games streamed from PPU to screen 'via Wifi', extremely fast with new image compression technology

-Battery life Up to 8 hours

-PPU takes 3.5 hours to charge, Core Unit 2-2.5 hours

Wow, looks like it's going down the OnLive route, should be interesting for those who game naked though..

We'll see on Thursday. Personally I don't think having the shiniest graphics will allow them to charge whatever they want.

Some games. Just like some games were better suited for PSP because it had an analog input. But the DS had no problem producing great games that didn't require precise camera control, and I doubt the 3DS will either. Cherokee_Jack

Just as long as the price is not five-hundred-and-ninety-nine-US-Dollars. I'm happy.

I saw you before in another thread and didn't comment but, 3 hours on the lowest settings with 3D on (that some games may use) isn't something to promote. Even with the 3D being toggled on and off (adding a a few more mins), it is nothing. The PSP at max settings got at least 4.5 hours (check wikipeda).

I posted in another thread that the Pica GPU also hasn't been as well tested as something like the PowerVR and considering the bulk of extreme multimedia processgoes through the gpu, I wouldn't be surprised if the PSP2 does better than the 3DS.

I also said it would be best to see the official specs of both consoles, gage personal usage and make a fair assumption. This was just a quick jive. I didn't expect other to be involved and take it seriously but, it's on theinternet.

Smile, your on candid camera! :P lol
