以下為Eurogamer網絡最新的新一代PSP(PSPGo, 編號PSP-N1001)的流傳資訊

Eurogamer.es is reporting that PowerVR technology from Imagination Technologies will form the basis of the still-in-development PSP2. The site claims to have insider sources that reckon that a quad core iteration of the low-power SGX543MP chip, codenamed “Hydra”, will be present in the next generation handheld, not to be confused with the forthcoming PSPgo.

The chip itself appears to be very close indeed to the enhanced GPU experts say resides within the iPhone 3GS, providing a generational leap in performance over older PowerVR MBX processors found in the previous models. The same technology is also found in select netbooks such as the Dell Mini 12, as part of the new low power Poulsbo chipset. The single core version of the chip has been demonstrated at CES running Quake 3 Arena at 30FPS.

…

So just how plausible is the original Spanish Eurogamer report? Having shared with us some of the more “off the record” information about the source of the info, it’s a likely proposition, not least because Sony is hotly rumoured to have been the mystery “major international consumer electronics company” mentioned in this press release issued back in November last year.

重點翻譯:
- 文中提到新一代PSP將採用PowerVR technology技術建立, 利用高效能而低耗電量的SGX543MP晶片(名為“Hydra”).
- 此新研發的晶片將可與iPhone 3GS的GPU比美.
- 此研發技術更已出現在部份小型筆記本(netbook)中, 如Dell Mini 12, 就是採用了高效能低耗電量為基礎設計的.

這些消息都尚未由Sony官方證實, 還是有待時間來驗證吧. 有興趣查看來源網頁.

游戲網站pocketgamer發佈了一段PSP-4000/PSP2的流傳, 留言者Chris James提到了以下的訊息:

…Unsurprisingly the console manufacturer has been comparatively mute in both cases, denying the existence of a PSP sequel and any threat from Apple. However, having spoken to an insider source – who’s not Dave Perry, but is a developer working on the new hardware – we can reveal that the new handheld will arrive before Christmas and will be far more similar to the iPhone than the current device.

Like Apple’s newcomer, the PSP 2 will be a compact device with a large touchscreen. However, where Sony’s machine has the edge is when the touchscreen is slid open as it reveals familiar buttons, D-pads and – praise the Lord of Handhelds – dual analogue controls.

This new format should allow for both existing hardcore console titles as well as simpler touchscreen games along the lines of those currently available in the App Store. And like the App Store, (and in the absence of UMD), the games will all be available for digital download via the PlayStation Store.

Although this hasn’t been confirmed, our speculation is that Sony’s initial plans for a small upgrade to a PSP 4000 model have since been accelerated by the success of the iPhone and arrival of Nintendo DSi…

昨日才介紹了VG247網站他們的“可靠”消息, 今天又有網友發佈流傳資訊. 這次流傳的是真正重新設計的 PSP2, 並非叫PSP-4000. 但無論是PSP2還是PSP-4000, 這些消息都尚未由Sony官方證實, 還是有待時間來驗證吧..

根據VG247網站他們的“可靠”消息指出, Sony計劃再次推出新一代改良的PSP. 名為PSP-4000, 並不是PSP2. 之前我們PSP-Hacks亦提到PSP-4000推出的流傳. 但這次VG247的消息真的可靠嗎? 有待時間來驗證吧 (但相信新一代的PSP會與圖中的有明顯不同). 詳細內容可參看來源頁.

著名游戲網站Eurogamer中有人流傳Sony正計劃推出PSP-4000/PSP2機種. 此訊息還沒有被Sony官方確定, 但以下是部份內容, 想參看全文請按下面的來源連結.

Sony plans to refresh the PlayStation Portable product line with a PSP-4000 model in late 2009 and launch a true successor – a PSP2, if you like – later.

Publishing sources, speaking to Eurogamer, were unable to provide any further detail on next year’s update, which will presumably follow this year’s PSP-3000 in taking an iterative approach. The PSP-3000 launched this October and followed a 2000-series model, the first Slim & Lite, in September 2007.

Even fewer details were available on the PSP successor, but we’re told that developers are already working on games.

Sony has not ruled out either scenario, despite SCEE president David Reeves’ assertion in MCV last week that “there are currently no plans for a PSP2″. “I go to Tokyo quite a lot and no one has referred to it – I think they have their hands full at the moment,” he said, non-committally.

Sony UK told Eurogamer today that it would not comment on rumour and speculation.

PSP-Hacks繁體中文重點翻譯:
- 有消息指Sony將會在2009年下半年季度推出PSP-4000/PSP2機種.
- 暫時還沒有具體的更新資訊, 但指出現已開始計劃制作游戲的過程.
- SCEE總裁David Reeves上星期在MCV中表示”there are currently no plans for a PSP2″ 現時並沒有建立PSP2的計劃.
