Sony kicked the conference off by announcing a new service called PlayStation Suite, which will supposedly allow Sony to deliver PlayStation content to mobile phones which run on Android OS.<\/p>\n
Sony Computer Entertainment president, Kaz Hirai, mentioned that Sony wants to bring “legendary PlayStation content” to PlayStation suite, a process which will be made possible thanks to a “hardware-neutral game framework” which allows “PlayStation-quality” content to be ported across to various kinds of mobile hardware.<\/p>\n
“We envision PS Suite as an initiative that is essential to the world of portable entertainment,” said Kaz Hirai.<\/p>\n

The device will promise a “revolutionary control system, location based entertainment, social connection, augmented reality features,” and of course” PS Suite compatibility.<\/p>\n Sony’s NGP features arear touchpad, 3G as well as WiFi for internet connectivity, Sixaxis motion control, and threeaxis compass. A 5-inch multi-touch OLED display was also confirmed, which is significantly larger than the PSP’s 3.5-inch screen. The new display will boast a resolution four times greater than the PSP’s. Front and rear cameras were also announced – these will supposedly ‘augment your gaming experience with reality.’<\/p>\n Dual analogue controllers were also confirmed, which will supposedly work in conjunction with the touch and motion controls.<\/p>\n The claim that the PSP2 will be as powerful as the PS3 was not confirmed, however, Hirai did mention that the device will deliver PS3-quality graphics.<\/p>\n The PSP2 will be released in the holiday season 2011, just in time for Christmas.
