Analyst: PSP Hardware "Refresh" In '07

BACK THAT PSP UPLazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian is the latest videogame industry voice to hint at an upcoming redesign for Sony's PlayStation Portable, writing in his note to investors that a hardware "refresh" was en route. Next-Gen then followed up with Sebastian who had more to say about a new version of the PSP coming in before the end of the year.

Sebastian told Next-Gen that, from what he's heard, Sony "definitely has something in the works" but that whatever that something is, it "may or may not mean a change in form factor." From what we've heard, a form factor change is possible, but not set in stone, with Sony focusing on an improved feature set.

As I mentioned before, given that Sony just dropped the price of the current hardware and has recently kicked off a new marketing campaign, I don't expect to see an official announcement until after summer. Maybe at E3.
