Just to keep the excitement of PSP-4000 going, we have gathered a few more details of the next PSP iteration. Developer source of Eurogamer tells us that the screen is the same as 3000 except it slides. With the slider closed, it hides almost all the controls but Sony is exploring into making effective use of shoulder buttons. They are also working on controlling media content with the shoulder buttons itself.
In an interview with MTV Multiplayer, John Koller said that there would be resurgence in the PSP games by 2009/2010. Sony is reaching out to game developers to show them how they can benefit from the console with features like cross functionality and not porting games to PSP from other consoles. However, the time frame for the game resurrection looks very much aligned with the rumored launch of PSP-4000 that is also expected during that period.
