Rumor: PSP 2 features rear touch-sensitive controls

[IGNITIONDREAM]

The next generation of PSPs will include touch-sensitive controls on the reverse of the unit, that is, according to development sources that spoke with Eurogamer. The PSP 2 will be roughly the same size as the current PSP-3000 version, and the screen will be quite detailed.

According to Eurogamer?s sources, many developers have already used the new PSP, which utilizes touch-sensitive controls on the rear of the device. These new, unfinished handheld systems are being shown to publishers, and Sony apparently already has a business model in place for the PSP 2.

Sources also believe the system could be out as early as the end of 2011, but it could be several years before it is released. This information, of course, is strictly rumors until Sony make some form of announcement. An announcement of this magnitude could come at TGS, but we?ll have to wait and see.

looks sexy enough.

the psp go was a failure to me because of the lack of the dual analog nubs.

Hopefully this PSP 2 will be legit, and completely re-vamped. Better graphics, high res screen..

although this current design doesn't look too pocket friendly..

^^ i strongly agree...also, i've been a nintendo customer on hand-held consoles, from the original Gameboy to the latest DSi-XL, looking forward to the new 3DS, but keeping my eyes open for the next PlayStation Portable "2" might end-up doing the switch ( like i did on home consoles :-)
