Default PSP2 has PS3 quality graphics

PSP2 has PS3 quality graphics - report
Wednesday 8-Dec-2010 9:40 AM "As far as graphics are concerned, the
PSP2 is a beast"

27 CommentsThe PSP2 has a graphical output comparable to early PS3
titles, reports are suggesting.

According to an IGN "source" who's had "direct hands-on experience
with the forthcoming handheld", the PSP2 runs with just over half the
PS3's processing power, but a smaller display means that graphical
quality could match the beefy console.

"As far as graphics are concerned, the PSP2 is a beast, packing enough
processing hardware to produce graphics comparable to early
PlayStation 3 titles," says IGN.



"The processor, we're told, is just over half as powerful as the PS3,
though the specific framework of the cores and the clock speed was not
revealed.

"While the device isn't as powerful as the PlayStation 3, its
components should allow it to sufficiently play games of comparable
graphical quality due to the fact that it is rendering to a smaller,
lower-resolution display than a full 1080p HDTV."

The IGN report also supports previous rumours about some of the
device's features. It's said to be bigger than the PSPGo, and to run
downloadable or expandable memory-based games like its predecessor.

It has front and rear facing cameras and two analogue sticks like the
original PSP but they have a concave indent, which should stop your
thumbs slipping off them.

Industry analyst Michael Pachter thinks the PSP2 will be dead on
arrival, but if it packs such a visual punch, would you be tempted?

I going to have to buy one just to prove Patcher wrong.
Sounds like it going to have a worse battery life than the first PSP.

For once I agree with Pachter (call security we lost one) , anyway
he's right with the 3DS coming out the PSP2 has little chance of
catching any sales.

I haven't played handhelds since those little football games in the
70's -80's, (with little dots and blips as players) but the 3DS has
enticed me to get a handheld.

Does it really matter anymore? This place gets more spam than actual
content. By next summer nobody will be posting here anymore. Any games
related post is welcome.

Anyway the PSP2 - here are my thoughts -- the biggest factor to its
success is not going to its graphics ability but the screen quality --
it really needs a screen the same quality as the iPhone 4 otherwise
I'm inclined to agree with Pachter. Sony needed multiple attempts to
get the screen right on the PSP1 -- this makes me very apprehensive
whether they could pull off the PSP2

I wonder if it's such a good idea to compare the PSP2 to the PS3 so much...

Does this mean the PSP2 is going to cost $300-400 at launch?

Yes because obviously the handheld market is made up no one but kids and
overgrown Pokemon fans who want to see Pikachu in 3d...

Sony's only barrier to success is Sony itself. IF the PSP2 can do
everything Sony says it can AND for a reasonable price (under $300) then
they'll do fine. I just seriously hope they don't only shovel existing
PS2 and PS3 titles onto it.

I haven't played handhelds since those little football games in the

Such a rumor would almost certainly be false of course...

There's also the question of to what extent, having obsessed over the
graphics, Sony will manage to screw up the controls / ergonomics /
form-factor / pricing.

They don't have a good track record...
