Citing multiple sources, Kotaku is reporting today that the much anticipated PSP 2 handheld will reach consumers in the fall of next year.
The updated console will sport a touch panel on its back, along with dual analog sticks, the most-wanted PSP feature since its inception.
Sources describe the touch panel as "looking like a big mouse trackpad." It is still unclear how it will be used in-game, but developers are already in early stages of developing games that incorporate it.
Furthermore, the display will offer a higher resolution and sharper picture whilst being about 1-inch larger, as well.
Sony has called the screen "HD" during internal meetings although it is also unclear what is implied there.
The main issue, according to the site, is that system is overheating, thanks to the ramp up in power from past models.
Sony does not comment on speculation.
