Sony NGP (PSP2): Changing Portable Gaming Forever

The Sony PSP2 , as most gamers would call it will bring a whole new era for portable gaming. It will incorporate Wi-Fi or 3G, making the Internet much more  accessible. There will be a more PS3 type of Playstation network available. The PSP2 will include a touch-screen and touch pad on the back of the system. 

This device will have a Wi-Fi version and a 3G version, helping with the price possibly significantly. The PSP2 will have very realistic and rich graphics and has some great licenses for physics softwares. It will have GPS abilities and an accelerometer/gyroscope motion sensor system. The PSP2 will have cartridge based games instead of UMDs, making the games much more durable. It will include digital cameras on the front and back, probably challenging Nintendo with the DSi. It will have OLED (organic light emitting display) making it easier to see in the sun. Lastly, it will have dual analog sticks, more like the Sony console systems. 

Sony's approach to console-like portable gameplay should be very interesting. Those of you who like more of a portable, low-res game system, this is not the system for you. I will really be anticipating this until the holidays to get this system. I think it will be a great system overall with just one problem I noticed, that being that it uses cartridges insted of UMDs, so you can't play the original PSP games.
