According to the omnipresent ANONYMOUS SOURCE, Sony is set to officially unveil the PlayStation Portable successor console on January 27. The long-rumored, practically-confirmed, might-as-well-not-be-kept secret PSP2 has been a long time coming, and it would seem we're finally getting to see it soon.
According to various sources, a press event in Tokyo will see the PSP2. The timing seems to deliberately coincide with a Nintendo press event on January 19, which indicates Sony is planning to take the wind out of the 3DS' sails.
So, I guess we'll have to check back later this month to see just how true it all is.

As I said in it, about time. Better have a decent launch lineup.
But PSP2 announcement would be nice, just to be done with it.
The PSP2 however, OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. So excite. Cannot wait.
I still play my PSP loads, well i did until i got Game Dev Story on my phone....

TOLDJA SO!
Doubtful. There's already been more than 100 games announced for the 3DS.
Your birthday is January 19? I have two IRL friends with birthdays on that day as well. CREEPY.
Yes? Buy. No? No.
Never seen an Asian before, have ya?
Not this time Sony. The 3DS is some good shit, and I won't get fooled again.
They pretty much had to do this, whether it's ready or not. They want people to stop and consider before automatically buying a 3DS. I know I'm going to be open-minded about it, and at least compare the two side by side. Of course, I never buy a gaming system at launch, anyway, so I would have done that regardless.
While you guys bitch and whine about how much you dislike Sony, I'll be planning to buy a 3DS and a PSP2, it sure is nice to have money for both.
With all the 3DS news we've been getting, they better show something mind-blowing. Great hardware with some nice launch titles, or else they have a really big chance of failing really hard.
Show the thing already!
PSP: I have a family to feed.
hopefully the lineup will be just as good as the 3DS.
Okay, all joking aside, hopefully this will have two joysticks. That is all I ask. I think Sony learned their lesson with the PSP Go (Long live UMDs), and uber HD graphics? They'd be nice, but they don't make the system nor the game. Reasonable price? I have no doubt it'll start off outrageous but lower down. Battery life? Yes, please make it at least 6 hours. The fact that the 3DS has how much? 3 hours? 4 hours (maybe?) of battery life made me very skeptical of the system as a whole. And one last thing. Sony, please just.... I don't know. Don't screw it up. I love my PSP, but there are serious faults. Fix them with the PSP2. That is all.
