Rumours of a PSP 4000 have begun to surface, if the “highly-trusted source” one site is quoting is to be believed, according Tech site Electricpig.com.The Sony PSP 4000 will launch in late 2009 and is not a new PSP2 hardware platform that was originally thought, but instead is a redesign of the existing PSP.
The new portable console is believed to have a sliding front-screen, with the buttons concealed while in storage or watching movies. Two other tech sites, VG347 and Eurogamer, believe Sony will roll out the unit later this year.
However, some pundits believe that the Sony PSP hardware is looking old and lacks any exciting new games so they think it more likely that Sony will opt to bring forward the launch of a new PSP 4000, rather than trying to revive the current PSP.
