News today from a Spanish gaming site that the PSP’s ‘real’ successor, not the half arsed attemp at reviving their mobile gaming platform that is the PSP Go, is alive.

Eurogamer Spain claim to be in possession of the specifications of an all-new Playstation Portable. The article makes no claims as to it’s actual existence but refers to the harware being in the planning stages.

The article claims that the new PSP would be capable of outputting games on the same level as the original Xbox. Supposedly built around a newer version of Imagination Technology’s PowerVR SGX543MP, which in its improved state would be a quad core chip. Quite amazingly and somewhat unbelievable the article claims this thing would be able to run Open GL 2.0 and, somehow, DirectX 10. For those of you not up to scratch on your jargon, that’s impressive for a handheld.

To be perfectly honest, I can’t say I’m entirely convinced bythe claims the article makes. These really are some pretty impressive handheld gaming device specifications and if true could make mobile gaming something for the more dedicated gamer to enjoy. If this thing has a second analogue stick, and lets face it, if it hasn’t it will be rubbish, then count me interested. Proper mobile gaming would certainly interest me at this moment in time, out shopping… with my fiancée… in MeadowHELL.
