    Sony had their conference launch conference for their upcoming handheld that will battle Nintendo’s 3DS in the dead of the North American night last night, so here are the details on both the PSP2 (now officially known under its working name “Next Generation Portable”/NGP) and a new service called “Playstation Suite”:

    • Playstation Suite allows devs to port PS1 games to Android-based smartphones

    The NGP:

    • Will be able to play downloadable PSP games from the current generation
    • Has built-in wireless N, 3G, and GPS network capabilities

    • Will be out this Christmas season in Japan (and possibly worldwide).

    Find out all about the NGP’s specs, features, and announced games after the jump…
