Rumor: PSP2 delayed due to hardware issues, now CES-bound

It looks like Sony's next-generation handheld game system has hit a snag again as reports are now circulating that the often rumored PSP successor will be delayed even further due to some processor issues. According to Charlie Demerjian over at Semi Accurate, the PSP2 will be powered by Nvidia's Tegra 2 chipset, but due to its power consumption issues, the Japanese video game company is now holding back the development of the device until Nvidia fixes its stuff:

"It is now set for a CES showing, but it will almost assuredly be released at a later date. This isn't due to the number of engineers mauled by moles yesterday, but because the Tegra 2 is massively over it's promised power budget. In a segment that finds 5% overages unacceptable, Tegra 2 is 20%+ over power budget. That explains why Nvidia PR suddenly changed the focus of the PSP2 screed to avoid the word 'phone', but, luckily for Sony, the PSP2 does not have phone capabilities."

"The power 'whoopsie' means delays and possibly spec downgrades for the PSP2, but we will have to see where it ends up. Between that overage and several showstopper bugs, Sony is said to be very miffed at Nvidia right now. Even the moles could sense that before they pounced on engineer after engineer. The scene in the streets is almost as bad as the scenes in the Nvidia meeting rooms when the Sony people come around."

So there you have it guys, if these rumors are true, I guess we're not going to see the PSP successor anytime soon.

 

Big thanks to HWL for the tip!

Well, hopefully they do a good job on the psp2. Keep umd or a dual layer version or whatever and include bc. Maybe that's asking for a lot in a handheld, though: won't the chip architecture be completely different? That would mean either a second processor/gpu (which there may or may not be room for) or software emulation (which can be a bit spotty on how well various games work).

I've really enjoyed my psp, but I won't be buying a psp2 right away (if at all). Sony has changed and I'm not super confident in them like I used to be. Again, I hope the psp2 is good, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm all over the 3ds, though.

top one is the best concept iv seen. bottom one needs to fix analog plaement. the sliding mechanism (for the bottom one) would be interesting to engineer a 'solid' feel..

I love the screen on the first one, but the controls would feel cramped. The bottom one looks great, but I'd prefer for the analogs to be under the other controls like in a dual shock. Either way, I would hope for a bigger screen (half inch or so) than the current psp: better resolution is nice, but it only helps so much in such a small area.

It will still need a physical disk of some sort. BC could mean better framerates.

# RE RE RE RE RE RE CELL0MN1DYN4M1X 2010-07-17 09:53
It will most likely have a dual-layer UMD, at 4gb. It shall be called "UMD2".

+1 # Yeaaperson2 2010-07-17 13:08
I'd put money on that ;).

At my studio our PSN downloads are much lower than our UMD sales per title. The Go was such a giant flop. People don't want DD only systems and UMD can be upgraded to use multiple layers. For power consumption reasons I highly doubt we'd see bluray lenses on a PSP. But physical storage is a definite.

Reply
 

 
# I agreeUltimaXX 2010-07-18 08:40
About the need for physical storage, anyway. But I think that it's much more likely to be a flash cartridge based format this time around; the only reason Sony opted to use optical media with the original UMD was because, back in the day, a 1GB Memory Stick Duo would cost you about £100.

Given we can get 4GB cards for less than a tenner now, Sony has no reason to carry on using the same old discs.

Reply
 

 
# -aperson2 2010-07-18 14:12
I absolutely do not share your opinion there. UMD prices, per 1000 units is very low. Sony cover that though but you are able to see the prices yourselves. Solid state memory prices are very far behind.

No doubt that once solid state media is cheaper they will use that but for now optical is the cheapest. They're still quite pricey is all.

What I personally hope for is a dual layer optical format and for them to make use of the patented (but never used) sliding disc cover like a Minidisc. Either by adding a secondary layer or by using smaller tracks the next PSP's discs will definitely be more delicate.

# RE: RE RE RE RE RE RE CELLDude27 2010-07-18 11:49
Uhm you know the psp allready used dual layer UMD's right? Single layer UMD is 900 mb and dual layer was 1,8 gig. So they should make more layers or other discs.

# RE: RE: RE: RE: CellPulseONE 2010-07-18 11:56
Installing a game to flash memory won't affect framerates, it'll affect load times.
It could POTENTIALLY affect framerate, but mainly in open world games, or games that would otherwise load during gameplay

Reply
 

 
# RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Cellaperson2 2010-07-18 20:55
It would improve both. Since heavy caching of data from an optical media slows down a games performance. Minutely though.

# RE: RE: CellTanner 2010-07-17 07:17
More than likely it'll have support. They're already aware of how "well" the PSP Go is doing due to taking it completely away. Besides, if the PSP is getting the same treatment the regular PlayStation series has gotten from PSone to PS2, majority PSP games should run on PSP2. If this was the PSP3, however, that'd be a different story.

Please stick with the Tegra 2, and also try bumping up the WiFi to the 802.11 /n/ standard.

HDR in handheld games?

I don't think you understand much about eye detail and so forth. Needless to say the PSP2 will be capable of desktop-quality post processing effects but shrunk down to a tiny screen... it's the "tiny screen" but that renders HDR moot.

"True gamers" also made me laugh. I like how people impose their own beliefs to class people, rather like how religion does with competing branches.
"True gamers" as it were, would have both the 3DS and PSP2 and find entertainment in both.

Can't afford both? You are aware that a DS and PSP would be £250 now. The same price as a PS3. £250 is also nothing; a fully working mid-level PC is £500, a good TV is £1000.

£250 for 6 years worth of entertainment is a good price. I was a starving student working towards my Masters degree and I could afford both. Try saving money. It's a wonderful experience.

I tried saying that a few weeks ago, but nobody wanted to understand. I traded my psp off months ago for a DSi.
The only reason I did that is I have a laptop now, and I didn't play psp games anyway. Now that I have the DSi, I have a camera (as shit as it may be) and I'm making money from RNG abuse on Diamond (Email me if you want a shiny that could be hatched)

Raw power's good and all but people talking about it just needing a better Cpu/Gpu are being seriously short-sighted. Apart from piracy the reason it isn't doing well outside Japan is the Psp is just too basic, all it has is a screen and controls like old consoles, but the average gamer now wants multiple ways to interface with a console so it needs touchscreen, motion controls, camera and whatever crap they can throw at it.

MS are just being sensible by not releasing a handheld. Because any non Japanese made console will completely die on it's arse in Japan, and Nintendo is virtually untouchable in the west with the Psp seriously struggling, so really right now there is no real market for a MS handheld, but i reckon they might try to creep into the market by building Zune into a gaming device possibly with Psp type minis that also work on 360.

"...I guess we're not going to see the PSP successor anytime soon."

Good.

Theres nothing wrong with the PSP as it is right now.

They could keep the current hardware competitive and even cutting edge with significant OS
upgrades (additional functions, better on screen keyboard, etc), and good "graphic strong" games that cant be replicated on the nintendo's dinky little eyeliner box.

As far as the allegedly 3d nintentoy?
A handheld ps3 wouldn't stop weeaboo's from buying a million goofy little makeup kits to see mario in a pseudo barely noticeable depth perception trick.

Nobodies gonna beat nintendo at their own game with their own established cult. Sony (or anybody) is gonna have to offer an alternative product.

Large, mature and good looking games seems like an attractive alternative to me.

I really don't understand these people saying "oh put a higher resolution screen" :P what would you need it for if your screen is only about 4 inches in size? extra resolutions on small screens will have no effect, just like 1080p on a 13 inch monitor, it will have no effect, screen resolution should match screen size. It will only start to look ugly if the resolution is lower for the screen size.

have you ever tried playing a 1080p video on a 13 inch monitor? it has no difference compared to a video on the same resolution on the monitor. why? because you are seeing the same amount of pixels on screen,

the reason why some phones did look better with higher resolution was because the previous resolution of phones was smaller for the screen size, in short it was upscaled to fit the screen size.

as for the games smooth graphics it relies entirely on the amount of polygons the gpu can put onscreen, the more polygons you can put, the smoother the graphics will be.

@Emir you must be the one who does not know much about rez :P

Blu-Ray UMD perhaps? It's possible.

stop posting that shitty psp2 concept, it looks stupid, why the f@#$% are the analogs on top of the damn buttons anyway? the first pic that sage3K posted is the best by far, then if you fixed the analogs on the second one it would be up there, ive seen many many concepts.

i am much more concerned about the pricing. sony isnt the kind of company that sells things cheap until YEARS later. remember PS3? 599 US $. i hope they will allow PS2 games to be played on it ( L2 and R2 better be there lol). i RLY want to play MGS 3 and Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 on a handheld thats even STRONGER than PS2. sony u rock compared to nintendo in hardware!......cant wait till its hacked lmao

When I see terms like "spec downgrades" and "no phone capabilities" I wonder if Sony is just shoveling crap into a bucket so they can sell it...
If they release ANOTHER flawed portable system, they may as well hand their money right over to Nintendo.

(to the post below this)
first off: my analog stick still works

(now back to the post im replying to)
why would you really want a phone capability? psp 2000, 3000, and go had skype and skype was nice i liked it alot used it all the time but why the hell make it a phone? phones have to be small and portable as possible ergonomics dont matter as much to a phone so if they made it with phone you wold either get the iphone ish at&t raping you with the price requirement or you would get a small uncomfortable gaming rig with phone possibilities because nobodys gonna replace there small handy go anywhere phone with a large bulky psp 2k sized console so that would make adding phone lose them lots of money they already have the sony ericson phone line (not the best phone from what ive seen but still) they dont NEED a phone in the psp they should keep skype though but the phone point is dumb and a hardware downgrade would suck but they still have to compete with the 3ds and they know it granted psp go was utter shit and as far as i know thats what made the whole motion of "sony no longer cares about the consumer" thing start (please prove me wrong cuz i do wish that its more than that)if sony learned from the go that that design in general is shit they will go with what the gamer wants my perfect psp in my opinion would be

-dual analog

-better quality analogs (i will grant you that they dont have the best psp analogs)

-at LEAST make the processor at standard run speed as fast as psp at full overclock

-open development (cuz if they dont people are probably just gonna hack it again)

-keep removable battery

-keep physical gaming media (you can keep the dlc though)


now onto minor perfections

faster internet

able to be modified using pre made hardware and maybe be able to change your casing without voiding warranty

replaceable parts that get worn (like buttons and analog nubs)(yes this is simmilar to what i already said)

able to customize axb ALOT more without having to use cxmb (maybe customize the equalizer and stuff aswell)


(i also might have forgotten alot of things but you get the idea)

you can count on the factory analog stick to go rogue after the first 6 months.

i have 2 1001s and a 2001. i have yet to replace the joys in any of them aside from just replacing the nub itself with a more comfortable nub. so i disagree with "in the first 6 months.." although from what ive noticed when a joystick dies, IT DIES ALL AT ONCE. but at least theyre easily replaceable.

# seriously?Sw3RvE 2010-07-20 18:26
why would you put the analog sticks at the top? thats completely opposite of every other sony console.

making a Blu ray UMD allow it to have a higher capacity game so the quality can be better than the original PSP game.

# what about sdhc or sdxcvinny puleo 2010-09-27 22:45
what about making 2 sdhc or sdxc drives for the psp 2 so that can be easier to compress data on a handheld game.
