Another publisher told MCV that they were waiting for a specific announcement from Sony regarding the future of the PSP platform before they announced their future plans. All of this is leading to speculation that Sony will make a big announcement at E3. A 'PSP 2³ has been rumored. It could be another SKU, like the PSPgo or DSi XL.

Although the technology is unsuitable for large screen devices (referring to TV's), it has been seen to work on a few mobile phones and could work well on the new Nintendo 3DS. [click to continue…]
