NGP Revealed as the Successor to the PSP

Sony finally unveiled the successor to the PSP in Tokyo at the PlayStation event. Working name "NGP", the Next Generation Portable features the latest cutting edge technology to create the most powerful handheld device ever made by a wide margin. Featuring a 5" OLED screen, dual analog sticks, a quad-core ARM Cortex processor and Power VR graphics processing unit, the NGP is according to Epic Games, four times more powerful than anything else on the market and boasts PS3 quality graphics.

The NGP also boasts front and rear cameras and touch pads, as well as 3G connectivity, three motion sensors, gyroscope, accelerometer and electronic compass and a microphone. UMD has dissapeared in favor of flash memory cards with even higher capacities and faster loading times than the 1.8GB UMD format. All this comes with a question of how much and battery life? So far all we know is that it won't cost $599. A few games were shown, graphics impressing all. Check out the conference below:
