The PSP2 to be as poweful as the PS3

^Those figures include the x2.5 complexity.

powerVR press release said:
At 200MHz core frequency an SGX543MP4 (four cores) will deliver 133 million polygons per second and fill rates in excess of 4Gpixels/sec**

** All fill rate figures stated assuming a scene depth complexity of x2.5

Edit:
They could be using the 28/32nm process (Ready for November?) in which case all cores can run at ~400Mhz, doubling performance.

Expected Price?

If they can charge mid £200's for the PSP Go when that was launched then I dread to think what this will cost.

A lot of people seem to think they'll take a big loss in order to steal potential 3DS customers, if they put it out at £250-350 I think that would make it sell like hot cakes.

We'll hopefully find out in 4-5 hours.

Ignoring their claims of 'as powerful as a ps3' those specs are damn impressive for a handheld.

I see people still took "as powerfull as" to mean tech specs. This was never said to the the case.

If it comes in at £350 then personally I doubt it will sell like hot cakes in the UK.

People got all hyped up about the PSP hardware when it first came out. Look how well that system did.

I'm interested though, I mean this is a likely platform for new Persona games.

The system actually sold fairly well.

The games, however, didn't.

Such is the downfall of CFW

Is there any word on battery life?

There's no way it has more battery life than the current PSP.

You might be surprised, things have moved on since the PSP came out.

The OLED screen is supposed to be low powered, as are the CPU and GPU
