Looks like we might just be getting dual analog sticks after all, folks:


IGN has learned from several credible sources that the PSP 2 is indeed on the horizon, and will be packing multi-touch technology. According to our sources, the PSP 2 will feature a widescreen multi-touch interface comparable to that of the iPhone for both in-game control and menu navigation. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure any additional details on the alleged new system, but this latest batch of rumors seems to fall in line with other recent claims orbiting the vast recesses of the internet.

2 nubs? Touch Screen, yet still has a full control scheme that can work well without the Touch Screen? (Hopefully) better graphics?

Do want.

Now we just need Microsoft to jump onto the Portables bandwagon.

You guys do know that the picture probably isn't the real design, right? It is just a rumor after all.

If it isn't the real design I will kill a kitten.

That thing looks fucking bad-ass. That better be the real design.

If it is, that would be win, and the fact that SONY is declining to comment just makes us hope more. :D

Will this be a new "console" or an upgraded version of the other one?

E: nvm :O

That picture popped up A LONG time ago on Engadget, they confirmed that it was phony by talking to Sony.

Oh nice one guys. Make the buttons slide BEHIND the screen. One thing nintendo did very right with the DS is positioning the screen to be protected while the system is closed. I'd sacrifice compactness for that any day.

The article is about the rumor. The rumor is highly credible. The pic is unrelated to the rumor: it's an old fan-job. Thread should not be locked.

Ah, ok.

I'll allow it.

But since the first one came out I was like wtf about not having dual joysticks.

It was very possible :/

This is old, it's nice, but I doubt it'll look like that in the end. One thing it could use is ergonomic curvy grips at the side like on the current PSP.

2 analog sticks is a must-have though, the only reason I didn't buy the PSP was the lack of a second stick (at the very least they could've put it on the right instead >.>). However I have played with my friends' PSPs at school and the games are fun, just that shooters and platformers have obvious issues.
