PSP 2: 6 things Sony needs to get right with the next PlayStation Portable


If Sony does make a PSP 2, these are the mistakes it needs to avoid

We’ve seen the Nintendo Switch and other portable handhelds opt for microSD cards or replaceable internal SSDs to add more room for games, so hopefully Sony will follow suit with an affordable solution that won’t hurt gamers’ wallets. A focus on beneficial technology like including an OLED screen, a variable refresh rate display, and Hall Effect analog sticks would go a lot further with gamers than some quirk that the vast majority of developers might never use. Sony should lean into the charm of its IPs instead, like offering the equivalent of PS5 themes that could customize the console’s interface or make the PSP 2 a media hub for movies and music as it did with the original PlayStation Portable.
