"Word is that the next DS wil be using an Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, which gives it about twice the power of the currently available system."

Actually, it will have twice the power of the Zune HD, which has Tegra 1, not twice the power of the DS.

Don't quote me on this, but I think PowerVRs have been around for a long time, so a fair few devs know their way around them.

Hell the Dreamcast used it in some shape or form.

I don't see an issue with the PSP chip shipping in 2011. With the Go recently released, Sony should be able to wait that long, anyway.

Heres the article that everyone keeps via'ing.

@worldagainstjose
using unscientific guessification by looking at my ds then my psp I'd say no more than as powerfull

I read the article on eurogamer that goes back about five sources, and it said that the DS chipset would make it twice as powerful as the zune HD but it would remove the HD coding. As for the psp2 it would use something between the power of xbox 1 and 360 power with a smaller chip and less power consumption. And if it's a more powerful version of the iphone's chipset it should be a dream to program for because so many companies already do it. The only problem is the software that IMD uses for dev kits aren't the best. And that it has 4 cores. Using the snippet that engadget made for a source is kinda lazy. If you look at the real sources for all of this you'll see that you got this kinda wrong. The only place it said the psp2 would be difficult to develop for is the engadget article which is a fourth level source.

eurogamer - kotaku - slashgear - engadget - destructoid.

Trying to keep you honest.

Well, the psp2 better have a lot better graphics. It should be way cheaper than the pspgo, and must have dual analog sticks.

if the next PSP 2 is capable of playing PS2 game, or at least can handle PS2 like graphics..im SOLD!!!

kinda like the way PSP has better and is capable of playing PS1 games..

imagine that, its like PS2.5 in handheld form..hell yeah

That fan concept art is fugly, and painful to have in ones pocket. Also, no dual sticks.

What I'm interested in is whether or not the ds2 will have two screens still or if they will put to analog sticks on the psp2. I hope they keep the clam shell design for the ds2, because if it's a portable system, durability should remain a large factor.
