New PSP in the works says Lazard Capital analyst

  

Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian claims that Sony is indeed working on a revamped PSP as the company implied during Sony’s Gamers Day, or so Sebastian claims. This could mean any upgrade or additional features could be in the works. But as he puts it, a “hardware refresh… may or may not mean a change in form”.

Since the PlayStation got PSOne, and PlayStation 2 got its PS2 Slim version, it’s not very surprising that Sony would dish out something like that for the PSP too. Sebastian couldn’t cite any specific sources, but he said “I can tell you from industry people I’ve talked to that [Sony] definitely has something in the works.”

Will they turn the PSP into a mobile phone ala N-gage (well, we hope not…)? Or do something about its battery life? Make the controls more intuitive? It’s pretty difficult to imagine that they’d reduce its size, but given Sony’s history with the consoles, it’s feasible. Any educational guesses?
