Sources have spoken to Eurogamer regarding the path Sony is planning to take with the next version of the PSP – it’s going to be roughly the same size as the PSP-3000 and have touch controls on the reverse of the unit.
The development sources – who have seen and used the new PSP – state that although the screen is rich and detailed, the best feature is the touch sensitive area behind the screen. The device is also rumoured to favour flash storage akin to the PSPgo rather than a disc-based solution.
Although this PSP hasn’t been shown to the public at Gamescom this week, it is being shown to publishers.
Intriguing!

I’m not sure if I’d be that interested, I can’t imagine playing the kind of games I enjoy on the PSP with a touch screen, Chains of Olympus or Resistance: Retribution for example would be crap. I tried playing the iPhone version of COD:Zombies & found it really annoying.
Tbh, I personally find the iPhone/iPod Touch horrible as a gaming device.

There will more than likely be an option to use the normal controls instead of the touchscreen. (I hope!)

maybe it will have two touch sensitive analog sticks and we will be able to move and look around at the same time… the biggest downside to the PSP! =/
