EA president hints that PSP2 performance is as strong as portable version PS3

The network (compiled/applies) EA Chief executive John Riccitiello has hinted in an interview recently that Sony's new generation of handheld PSP2 is extremely powerful and is a portable version of PS3. "My favorite scenario is that the big hardware vendors are in a melee and we're selling bullets," said John Riccitiello, who runs the strategy of taking on a handheld platform with business opportunities, from DS, PSP to iphone, ipad and Android.　　Their next target is Nintendo's 3DS and Sony's PSP2. Although Apple's iPhone4 was previously "the father of the FPS" Carmack praised its performance has surpassed the Wii, but John Riccitiello believes that in terms of function still can not pose a threat to PSP2. "Having a mobile entertainment device with strong performance, such as PS3, can put you in your pocket is a very appealing topic," he suggests. He continued to hint that the new handheld would even use Blu-ray discs as their storage medium. "I don't think Blu-ray discs have been fully popularized yet, but Blu-ray discs can provide large storage space for high-capacity games, so there is a competitive advantage," he said. "According to previous reports, Patrick Soderlund, vice president of EA Europe, confirmed that they had obtained the Sony-supplied PSP2 development prototype. (Edit/Ming)
