In tonight's blogger meeting, I had a chance to talk to Sony president Phil Harrison about his keynote and the suspicious absence of the PSP device: "We didn't talk about the PSP because [the keynote] was 45 minutes," he tried to explain.

John Koeller, the man responsible for the marketing of the PSP, then joined in: "We're absolutely not overlooking the PSP." He hinted that the future of the PSP looks very similar to what has been planned for the PS3. "We could start talking about PSP in the same manner as Phil."

Sony recognizes the potential of the system, and promises that in May, they will be revealing some more exciting news. "The promise is there ... [yet] we're well aware of the market realities." What specifically the PSP will be evolving into is still unclear, but it appears as though downloadable media and PS3-style Network features are in the works. From the smiles on their faces, it's clear that some truly exciting things will be happening to the PSP this year.

This is such a great machine with lots of potential. I sure hope they develop it to it's fullest!

I'm excited about this, the PSP is becoming like a swiss army knife, like 101 uses for it wonder what is being developed now...

soon this is what the psp would look like

it is a swiss army knife

lol that would be awesome, 101 uses for it, damn that'll be cool

psp what will they think of next

yea i wonder....supposidly they are gonna make a new one that has some nvidia graphics or somethin in it

Even more good reasons to buy bigger memory sticks

I'm a bit annoyed that they didn't really announce or show anything meaningful off for the psp at GDC...

Although in the PS3 Home FAQ it says that they might be extending home to the psp. I would LOVE that. Just make a psp version of little big planet as well and I'll have no reason to want a PS3.

damn i need a bigger memory card but i love the psp.. everybody is like why do u have one of those.. and i am like.. this thing has a lot of potential

I hope so. Sony needs to get its act together

Finally. I ahve been waiting for this ever since I got my PSP.

I hope they add a Home-esque feature into it.

It doesn't really have to be nearly as fantastic as the PS3 counterpart...but it would still be nice.

Hopefully this will boost PSP sales
