It appears the internet has broken ranks today on the PSP2, so here’s something the current batch of rumours haven’t picked up yet: we’ve heard from a trusted source that the portable console, due out late this year / early next, will feature a motion sensor set-up similar to that in the iPhone, which will support gestures too.

Alongside the dual cameras (which we can confirm as being in there, as far as we know) the motion sensor will allow the PSP2 to run ‘augmented reality’ software far beyond what we’ve seen with the current PSP. Expect smart use of the cameras and motion sensors from first party studios, with hopefully Layar-style functionality.

Naturally, none of all this can be categorically confirmed, so treat it as a rumour, but if we were you we’d keep at least one eye on E3 next month…
