Reeves: Sony needs to release PSP2 soon |
Listed in: PSP Tags: David Reeves, nintendo 3ds, PSP2, Sony
Former Sony Europe boss, David Reeves, says that Sony needs to release the often-rumored PSP2 soon if they want to compete in the handheld market with Nintendo. Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, the current Capcom Europe COO states:
"It's an exciting time and you could possibly have two handhelds coming out within months or a year of each other. I'd like to the think it would be for the publishers and developers and consumers. Sony tried to make the transition with PSPgo, I think that changed some consumers' attitudes, but they need to come back with something on PSP pretty quickly to stay in the game because Nintendo are s*** hot at getting these things right. And they always get these things right."
A lot of us were expecting a PSP2 unveiling at this week's E3, but, unfortunately, it didn’t happen. What we got is a shinny new 3D enabled handheld from Nintendo, that created a lot of buzz in the industry and could potentially kick down the PSP even further down the drain.

HiCap BlurayUMD,
3mb Cam, Ditch the ProDuo crap for something better,
Bluetooth yes,
SimCard... sure.
Touch screen (for menu's) yes,
3D hopefully,
Accelerometer/Gyroscope optional.
If SONY doesn't pull their collective
heads out of their arses they will lose everything in the handheld market.
I have been mouning ever since the 1st Phat PSP needed dual nubs. SONY doesn't listen to their consumers and releases the PSP Go with no 2nd nub which is the 3 iteration of the PSP, thus if the next PSP doesn't have 2nd nubs I will never buy a SONY product ever again.
Hear that SONY?
Two analog sticks on the next PSP or you
will never regain handheld dominance in the market EVER!

A lot of us was expecting, "was" really?
Anyways I agree we need a PSP 2 or Sony lost, I'm already sold on the 3DS.

I'm not really liking Sony lately: they've been kind of money grubbing and indifferent to what their customers want, so screw them. It would take a LOT to get me to buy a psp2 at this point. I'm switching to Nintendo where they don't try to nickel and dime with you dlc that's already on the disc (they don't do that on nintendo, do they?), and they don't give mandatory firmware updates that disable features.

nintendo is notorious for gouging consumers. there really is no value when you compare them to their competitors; if you compare systems directly (specs, games, and quality) nintendo loses every time. but they can sell those things like apple can sell macs

Here's what the PSP2(I call it P2P) need:
1. 2 analogs
2. Size. Needs to actually be portable like the Go.
3. Cheap with high memory capasity
4. Needs something bigger than UMDs or at least not all digital.
5. A camera
6. Great digital contents
7. Maybe 3D
I doubt that price will be less than $200 with the said features. I could care less for the camera but people want something more than just a gaming tool.

only agree to 1
2 alright it would be nice, but the screen cant get smaller and the controls must be comfortable first
3 its a new console define cheap, they should drop MS PRO DUO FOR SD or something similar, but thats not going to happen, ideally it should be internal
4. no umd size is pretty decent
5. No gimmics please, go buy a ds
6 what !
7 doesnt need 3 would be nice (cant see it happening) but it needs a better screen high res and less ghosting

Touchscreen for menue purposes ONLY!
Accelerometers are gh3y! Iphone devs never make the controls perfect. Same will apply for psp.
Sim cards??? Go buy a cellphone, and stop being a tool.

I'd love dual analog, higher capacity UMD (BLUMD?) camera and 3D.

I just don't want them to stop making good PSP games like MGS:PW or GoW:GoS.
Sony must have a very good reason for not showing a PSP2 in the E3

nothing tops 'the new gameboy' ... I don't care how good it is.
but Sony needs to step it's game up (pun intended

Is this the same scee nitwit from last week that said the go wasn't a failure because they were just testing the waters?
Have fun taking that dudes word for anything. Might as well let him set up an oil rig in the park while your at it.

Sony's entire strategy for -years- has been to introduce new formats into a verity of industries in order to dominate the market. Blu-Ray, Betamax, Mini-Disk, MS-Pro Duo, UMD, and so on.
If a PSP2 does come along, I predict another shitty format, perhaps even worse than UMD.
Reply
High resolution screen at the same size as a normal PSP
2 nubs and L2 R2 buttons
Internal and external memory
Definitely higher UMD capacity
Definitely more power
Built in accelerometer and bluetooth
Cameras
No piracy!!
and last but not least if possible at all, built in hsdpa support.

also not every thing needs touch and an accelerometer it is just a gimmick that the game developers can substitute real game play for...
And sony does not need to fire another console out at us they need to support the ones they have... They need to spend some real time working on it not just slap what ever in and call it good.

Some "leaked" specs of the PSP2 appeared about a week ago, they mentioned the new disc would be called UMD MAX which supposedly can hold up to 3,6 gb... even portable games will be hard to pirate then XD

If they're gonna stick with cheapo spinning media that's proof that sony really doesn't give a shit about the customer right now.
The Go already hinted as much, a psp2 with umds will prove it.

It really does need to be released. Why oh why did Sony focus so much on 3D when the market for such a thing is so tiny (around 0.7% of PS3 owners have 3D capable TVs), yet didn't bother with the PSP?

No. Sarcasm. Serious gamers have DS's. Just like they have 360s AND PS3s. Hell, your 'Serious gamers' enjoy their Twilight Princess and Brawl. What sense does that make? It seems that in order to be a serious gamer nowadays you have to be a bitch to sony's habit of taking features away, and continuously bleed out of your vagina that shittier hardware always wins.
DS won, and will keep winning REGARDLESS.
360 has been winning, despite hardware issues. Microsoft just put salt in sony's wounds by releasing their new 360 at E3. My local Gamestop had them in THAT DAY
but seriously, how hard could it be to emulate PS2 games on a PS3? It's supposed to have one of the best processors in the world, but can't emulate 10 year old technology? I think they REMOVED that capability with newer systems to sell more PS2 systems.
Sony customers are seriously brainwashed.
ok. on topic. Sony is going to lose. They should go out of their way to allow some sort of homebrew. Apple's app store does it SOMEWHAT (although it's much easier to jailbreak) It opens doors for future devs, and could be considered a 'job application' for people who make good homebrew and submit it to sony. Sony needs to worry less about money and more about the customers themselves. If the pspGO ever gets CFW, sales are going to shoot through the roof, regardless.
I've had PSP's (3 in fact) and I've had DS's (5 total). The only reason I've had so many PSP's is because they fail. The only reason I've had so many DS systems, is because they've been stolen.

Oh by the way GLWT "good luck stopping piracy for every honest person who buys their games there are 3 pirates who dont give 2 shits" Where do live that has that kinda piracy? I have yet to meet some one else in my area who has even heard of Custom firmware for the psp. I just don't see the Rampant Piracy these companies talk about.
Reply
Where I live (Trinidad, West Indies), the prices for new PSP games are usually so high, that most people opt for CFW
A new PSP game here is more expensive than a new PS3 game in the States...

it'll be interesting to see what sony can come up with
Reply
The PSP2 will be the leader.
the only way they can f*ck it up is with th price...
Reply
Come on now... the DS is 1) a Nintendo and 2) handheld. You can't beat that. Nobody has since Nintendo invented the market. As ever they will be the leader and everyone else will battle for 2nd place.

PSP2 just needs 3 things:
1. Remain multi-region
2. Improve the spec
3. Add a second analogue stick/R2+L2
That should give us a portable PS2.5. Perfectly fine for a hangheld. Don't bother with any lame gimmicks, just give me a solid portable gaming platform with some quality titles playable on any region.
Any of those 3 things go missing, I'm out.

Bloody hell the PSP crowd are a funny bunch. The amount of tech I've heard of as being "gimmicky" that became standard is pretty brilliant. Widescreen, dedicated GPU, analogue sticks, rumble, online multiplayer, motion controls. Next up is 3D, and better still 3D without glasses.
I hope the PSP2 has a 3D display too. Really does need it. From what I saw of the 3DS was nothing short of amazing - the best thing for gaming in the last 5 years. It's so immersive and just plain useful and interesting! It will be great.

Ethier they wait a year or 2, or release one soon and continue on making PSP games and using up those remaining life-span time on the PSP.

1) a better browser!!!
2) anti-aliasing in games! (preferably 4x)
3) remote play feature for windows (jk. thanks pspdisp)
4) allow 3rd party stuff
5) power saver similar to Hold+
6) MUCH longer battery (gaming online for 5 hours on constant 333mhz)
7) an official youtube app!
9) camera (at least 3 megapixel with night-vision)
10) of course... 2 analog sticks.

1. Better Screen for outdoor play & Better Graphics
2. Better battery life
3. Some sort of screen cover (like a NDS/clamshell design)
4. Concentrate on bringing ALOT of games out preferably quality games instead of blaming piracy.. remember NDS has alot of piracy too
5. Accelometer & Gyro & touch screen (with Stylus option for RTS games)
6. Force Feedback (would be NICE)
7. 3d would be nice, but not necessary (if so, then allow an on/off option)

With a custom firmware to install, people would at least buy the console, now without it, I don't know, it's just frustrating to buy one, it's kinda killing their market. Of course, consumers who'd buy UMDs would still buy, but are there enough of them?

PSP slim didn't really have anything special except it weight less. PSP 3000 better screen? PSP go take out UMD and change memory stick to a more expensive one as if the pro due didn't cost enough.
PSP2 could make it or break it. This better wow everyone without making them pay more than what it will ever deserve.

About those piracy phoebics....just look how long it took us to get KHBBS to work and the rest of the 6.20 games. Their prices already went down by the time we were finally able to play them. Sure theres piracy on the NDS, but theres piracy everywhere so who gives a F$@%. Just deal with it because it will never end.
my current stand is that the only way $ony can come back (when i mean come back i mean get back into 2nd place as aperson2 said) is if they release a PSP with in between PS2 and PS3 graphics and finally release PS2 Downloadable games. the PS3 slim desperately needs that and that would make the PSP worth more. other than that....Nintendo all the way. Nintendo Dominated E3. I think it was mostly the 3DS tho
