In fun rumor gargle, EuroGamer Spain believes to have stumbled on some rather staggering PSP2 specifications. Claiming that the PSP2 is still in the works, it will use a quad-core PowerVR SGX543MP chip from Imagine Technologies. That chip is supposedly similar to the one in the new iPhone 3gs, but with a couple extra cores thrown in for good measure. As rumors are merely speculation at any given time, this information (if you can call it that), can morph into something entirely different without notice. With that said, take this nugget of discharge lightly as a true PSP2 is still ways away.

The Sony PSP-4000 is reportedly coming in late 2009. The current update, the PSP-3000, has an improved LCD screen, built-in microphone and a PS button so I’d expect only an incremental update on the 4000. Perhaps a slightly larger screen, reduced form factor, and improved battery life? We’ll see.
But this is where it gets interesting: what happens after the PSP-4000. It’s rumored that developers are already coding for the next-gen “PSP2″. One can only guess as to the specs but here’s hoping that Sony, if they have any iota of sense, will completely nuke the UMD drive in favor of flash or solid state memory. Not only will this improve battery life but it’ll pave the way for digital content distribution.
Sony, if you’re listening, ramp up the built in memory, reduce the footprint, spruce it up with a nice touchscreen, and above all KISS (Keep It Simple Sony).
