Crazy development on the PlayStation front: Is PSP 2 coming?

There is new news for the PSP, one of the best-selling and most beloved models of the Sony PlayStation brand: According to this, the Japanese tech giant has been working on the PSP 2 for quite a while and is said to be releasing it next year. Here are the details about the new generation handheld console…

PSP 2 is coming to rival PC handheld consoles

Sony made a wild entrance into the handheld console market with the PlayStation Portable (PSP), creating a huge sensation worldwide by surpassing 100 million unit sales. However, after the PlayStation Vita, which came out with a touch OLED screen and advanced hardware, flopped in sales, Sony became disheartened with the handheld console market. But it seems they will be making a comeback very soon.

Sources close to Sony say that the recently released PlayStation Portal was a ‘trial balloon’ for the PSP 2. The device received much more demand in the market than expected, and with sales exceeding expectations, it seems that work on the PSP 2 has accelerated on the Sony front.

Both the unexpected sales success of the PlayStation Portal and the sales figures achieved by competitors like Steam Deck on PC have made Sony refocus on handheld consoles. In the past year and a half, various devices such as Asus ROG Ally X, Steam Deck OLED, MSI Claw 8 AI+, Lenovo Legion Go, and Zotac Zone have seen success, but Sony also has the advantage of offering its exclusive games on a handheld console.

Reports suggest that Sony could release the PS5 Pro in September and update the PS5 and PS5 Slim consoles with newer and more powerful hardware before the PSP 2 arrives. If the information is correct, we might see the PSP 2 in November next year.
