Sales of the Sony PSP portable gaming console are expected to slow to a trickle this holiday season, as gamers spend their money on new consoles like the Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3, and Xbox 360.

In addition, reports have leaked that reveal Sony’s plan to release a PSP 2 in Q2 of 2007. The next PSP will be more like a second generation PSP, ala the iPod, and not a new system entirely. Still, expect to see many gamers wait a few months so they’ll be able to buy the best portable gaming system, with the newest feature.

The Sony PSP is without a doubt the greatest handheld video game system ever made. Not only is it powerful from a computer graphics processing perspective, but it also has a huge screen and some great games.

Perhaps my favorite feature of the PSP is one that Sony never intended for us to have. With the right tools (and I’m talking mostly about software tools, so put your wrench down) the PSP is very “hackable”. You can put an emulator on it and play games from old systems like Super Nintendo or Atari.

For some strange reason, video game companies hate it when a bunch of young punks makes their old video games popular again. The corporations that run these companies are guided by lawyers who tell them it’s better to sue than to let the kids have their fun and build free brand recognition.

Come to this blog for any news relating to the Sony PSP, whether or not Sony approves or not. I am not an employee of Sony or any other video game company, and until I am I will be here to tell you about the latest games and the latest hacks that will allow you to do things like run Linux (that’s a type of operating system, for those not in the know) or use your PSP as a navigational tool. Who knows, with the computing power of this handheld device, the possibilities are endless.
