Non ci sono infatti dubbi ormai che Sony abbia in progetto un nuovo modello di PSP, coglie così l'occasione per liberarsi da quel "succhia batterie" (definito letteralmente così da Sony) magari rilanciando un nuovo formato.

VG247 has learned that PSP-4000 does have a sliding front-screen, with a highly-trusted source confirming fresh details on the unannounced machine this morning.
PSP-4000 is not PSP2, but rather a “complete aesthetic overhaul” based on existing PSP tech.
Much is now known by some parties of the console, which will be announced at either GDC or E3 this year, but cards are currently being clutched very tightly to chests.
The revamp does have a sliding front-screen, and we’re assured the design being currently touted isn’t a million miles away from this now-infamous image.
Eurogamer rumoured PSP-4000 for a 2009 release in December last year, and our source confirmed this to be the case today.
Sony has constantly denied PSP2 is in the works: now you know why.
Rumour? This is not a test, Ringo. Comprendez vous?
Tokyo, February 13, 2009 - Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that the cumulative worldwide sell-in units of PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) handheld entertainment system (PSP-1000, 2000 and 3000 series) reached a total of 50 million units(*1) as of January 2009.
As the first handheld platform from the PlayStation® family, PSP made its debut in December 2004 in Japan, March 2005 in North America, May 2005 in Asian countries and regions, and September 2005 in Europe/PAL territories. Bringing the innovative entertainment world of PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 on the go, PSP introduced the latest advancement in technology for building handheld devices, including a 4.3 inch wide high resolution LCD screen, the largest of its kind for a portable device. PSP opened up an entirely new gaming market by offering the fun of playing full-scale 3D-CG games as well as viewing high resolution video images anytime, anywhere, and also by offering users new ways of enjoying digital entertainment, including playing games on-line with family and friends via a wireless LAN feature.
PSP keeps evolving as an innovative handheld entertainment system, offering a wide array of exciting software titles and introducing fun peripherals as well as upgrading features through regular system software updates. Inheriting the basic functions and the design philosophy of PSP-1000, slim and light PSP (PSP-2000) was launched in September 2007, introducing new features such as "Skype" and expanding the joy of PSP from the entertainment arena into the area of communication. In October 2008, SCE introduced PSP-3000 to the world, featuring an advanced high contrast LCD and a built-in microphone, while maintaining the form factors of PSP-2000. Gaining even greater support from a wide range of users worldwide, the world of PSP continues to grow.
On the games front, more than 2,000 titles on UMD are available worldwide, with cumulative software sell-in units reaching 200 million to date (*2). In addition to packaged games, taking advantage of PSP's network capability, many network games have become available for download initially via PLAYSTATION®3 or PC. More and more games are being made available for download since it was made possible in fall 2008 for PSP users to access PlayStation®Store directly via wireless Internet. Currently, a total of over 500 titles from PlayStation®Network exclusive games, "Game Archive" titles featuring the original PlayStation games, and downloadable version of UMD titles are available for download(*3). Many more exciting new software titles in a variety of genres are planned continually for release from third party developers and publishers as well as from SCE Worldwide Studios. Also with a steady increase in the number of registered PlayStation Network accounts, SCE will continue to further enhance network services for both game and non-game entertainment content.
SCE will vigorously promote the expansion of the PSP platform and offer a variety of interactive digital entertainment.

"La concorrenza è tale che i publisher possono scegliere tra quattro console oltre che al PC, per pubblicare un titolo. Essi non hanno pertanto incentrato il loro sviluppo su PSP, soprattutto per quanto riguarda l'Europa e gli Stati Uniti d'America." "In Giappone molti publisher hanno deciso di rilasciare dei titolo per PSP. Così titoli come Monster Hunter, Fantasy Star Portable e Dissidia hanno portato un enorme segno positivo di vendita. Ma non vi è stato nulla di simile in Europa così da aumentare le vendite in tale modo." "Oggi però posso dirvi di persona che la line-up di PSP per il 2009 sarà da due a tre volte superiore a quella dello scorso anno."
