Sony has revealed the first details on a long-rumored successor to their struggling PlayStation Portable platform.
The next generation portable, code-named NGP, is scheduled to hit stores later this year.
Revealed during an event in Japan early Thursday, the NGP will feature a 5-inch OLED touchscreen, front- and rear-facing cameras, gyroscope and accelerometer, Wi-Fi and 3G support, and built-in GPS.
The device includes two thumbsticks, addressing a big complaint against the PlayStation Portable.
NGP will also introduce a new software format for games. Each title will be released on a small card using flash memory, and allow users to store downloadable content and their game saves on the card.
According to the official PlayStation blog, Killzone, Uncharted and Call of Duty are among the franchises expected to appear on NGP.
