Speculation of the Sony PSP 2 Announcement At E3

As the big tradeshows come around the corner, there are key elements we look for. Speculation of some of the largest products on the market are some of those things. For Sony, the PSP handheld is still one of the most popular handheld gaming units in the market, so there’s no surprise that with E3 coming up, the rumors of a new PSP are going to pick.

According to UK publication MCV, there has been a major increase in spending for marketing at two key publishes, all of which are aiming for a fourth quarter, 2010 launch of whatever it is they are marketing. Of course, no one can confirm anything at this point. Another publisher is waiting for a specific announcement from the platform holder, before the can move forward with their own announcements and marketing campaign. Though, they did dance around the talk of ongoing development for titles behind closed curtains.

As of right now, the PSP has seen a few revisions along with the introduction of the PSPGo and it’s currently in its sixth year of the market. Many believe that now would be an excellent time to release a new handheld, and not just another variation of the one before it. Then again, many people have said a new PSP should have been out three years ago. With Nintendo announcing their new 3D capable DS model, it seems now would not only be the perfect time for Sony to announce a new PSP, but also a time where they have to announce it.
