    YouTube - PSP2 Revealed named NGP Sony Meeting 2011
    Mobile gaming junkies got a bombshell on Thursday, for Sony revealed their PSP2 at an event in Tokoyo. Officially however, the new device is going by “Next Generation Portable” or NGP for short. (We like the former better.) Ushering in the next generation of mobile gaming will be an ARM Cortex A9 processor + SGX543MP4+ GPU, 5″ OLED touchscreen display with 4x the resolution of the current PSP, dual micro-joysticks, touchpads and cameras on both front and rear, and various wireless technologies including WiFi/3G/Bluetooth.But the biggest news concerning the NGP are the reported “PS3 quality graphics”. That is certainly a high bar to raise for such a small device, a mere tablet even.

    Outside of hardware, Sony unveiled a new “Playstation Suite” that will eventually allow Sony games to play on Android as well as the porting of PS3 games to the NGP device. In short: there is plenty of potential for the NGP platform.

    As if we didn't understand the implication the first time, Sony paraded Hideo Kojima out on stage -- this better be a Zone of the Enders game! -- to demonstrate ... right, of course: Metal Gear Solid 4 on the NGP. "There's no announcement of a new title today," Kojima confessed, "but I'd like to talk about the future perspective."

    We get it -- PS3 games can be exported to NGP -- and Kojima is envisioning a future in which games will be seamlessly transferred back-and-forth between the home console and portable unit. "This dream is going to come true in the near future," he pledged, "and right now I'm working on this project."

    PS3 Ports. Trophies. I'm sold.

    Haven't been this excited about a handheld console since the Atari Lynx
