Hold the onions
LG has already made a couple of phones with the rotating screen feature.

I don't think it's going to make a big difference how you view the game with one hand or with both hands on the phone. It's just another way to flip the damn screen around. Why don't they just add a phone icon and a texting icon on the current PSP options and that'll be that. While they're at it, just make the view switch from landscape mode to normal mode depending on how you hold the phone/game console. I like SE phones but the PSP interface would be sick on a SE branded phone

new PSP being announced January 27 2011
I tried to find a previous thread but was unsuccessful.
Let's hope Sony doesn't screw this up! But, I have a feeling it will be pretty sweet!!

I am. I used to have one and loved it to death, I loved Lumines on it. I have it on PS3 too but its just not the same. Sadly my PSP was stolen and it has left a void in my heart. A void which longs to be filled. LOL

In all seriousness, does Sony sell very many PSP's anymore?
I know when they first came out they sold, but in the last couple of years?
DS pretty much dominates the market...no?

Sony figures show PSP sales falling - but more sold than you may expect
Handheld console is still a gaming force after five years – and PS3 sales are up too

<figure><figcaption>The latest version of the PSP - but the download only Go has failed to make an impact
With all the gossip about PSP2 and the ever increasing growth in app/mobile/download gaming it's easy to forget about the original PSP. Although Sony's once magical device - honestly, who wasn't impressed by that screen in 2005? - has lost some lustre the handheld console is still a gaming force. The likes of Monster Hunter and Phantasy Star Portable 2 are proof that for hardcore gamers at least it still remains a viable option. As you would expect though sales have suffered recently.
Sony's latest financials show that global unit sales have fallen by 50% to 1.5 million in the second financial quarter this year. Given the relative lack of new PSP software releases and the age of the console this is not a major surprise and actually 1.5 million sales is probably a little higher than you may have expected. Or is that just me?
Unsurprisingly the PS3 has done better with 5.9 million consoles and 60.1 million units of software sold from April to September. In the same period in 2009 sales were 4.3m and 38.7m respectively.
Anyway, what do you think? Still use your PSP? Or has it been passed over in place of your DS, phone or tablet?</figcaption></figure>

I won't lie...I'll probably buy the next gen PSP.
But, I won't be lining up.

I now understand who the PSP is for......it's for the 40% of Japanese males who sit down to pee......they gotta do something while they pee-pee.
