Playstation delayed shelf and NGP; Sony goes to confession

Howard Stringer, Sony PD-G, confirmed that his company planned to release a tablet PlayStation. Built on Android, it should be to play what Xperia iPad is the iPhone. Another official also spoke of a possible launch delay for the PSP 2. According to Japanese newspaper Nikkei quoted by Bloomberg, Mr. Stringer has formalized a new project that is known by the codename of S1.

The tablet would be a model PlayStation 9.4 inches with a resolution of 1280 x 800 carrying a Tegra SoC 2, Honeycomb, two photo sensors (one front and one rear), USB and an infrared port. S1 could play PS One games and integrate services and Qriocity Sony Music. It would be sold at $ 600.

The tablet is supposed to leave at the end of summer 2011. Beyond that, the director also reveals that Sony has started making profits on sales of PS3 consoles in June 2010, meaning that production costs and materials that were eventually lower the selling price of the console. Sony has a busy schedule this year and ambitious goals.

He announced in January the release of NPM is the codename for the next PSP (see "PSP 2" NGP "announced"). In his interview with the Bloomberg magazine, another officer of Sony, Jack Tretton, said that instead of a global release in 2011, the Japanese earthquake could delay production of consoles.

Sony will launch its new model, so that a market and the world would see the NIM in 2012. One imagines that Japan will be favored, as usual, but nothing concrete has filtered.
