Sony Re-designing The PSP
He also revealed that the new version will be “slimmer and lighter” than
the current model. However, there was very little detail of what’s going to be
available under the hood although everyone is interested to see if the company
will opt for a 60GB hard disk drive from the likes of Samsung or opt for newer
8GB Flash memory drives. There’s also no news on what will become of the
unpopular UMD movie disc format.
Sony really has to do something about its 
PSP which is suffering against
Nintendo DS – especially in Japan. According to the latest figures from
Bloomberg, the PSP has just passed the 5 million mark in Japan but it’s being
outsold three-to-one by the DS.
In other, unconfirmed reports, large retailers have allegedly told Sony
that they need to drop the price of the PSP to boost sales or they will be
forced to drop the product.
