Does this mean that the PSP will be withdrawn from sale? Definitely not. It is confirmed that the latest version of Sony handheld remain on the market? Or not. Some good PR work. But behind the scenes through the lens of information, it seems that Sony actually ends rather quietly glorious chapter in the development of its mobile platform and the PSP will be soon a thing of the past.

Apparently the Sony will announce PSP 2 in end of January. On 27 January, the Group holds a “Business Overview and Strategy Meeting” in Tokyo, where they wanted to announce the PSP 2.

Officially there is no information what about is in the meeting and to the event are invited only “selected” representatives of the press. But Sony declined to comment on these rumors.

Another source claims, however, to have received the same information from commercial sources. Apparently we can expect even with a release later this year.

Netherrealm Studios and EA have in fact already declared openly that they work with the PSP2. One PSP 2 comes, we can therefore assume as fixed. Whether the date is true, we will probably not know later than January 27.

Asus has probably seen some of the Kinect Hack videos and want something from the Microsoft success. At CES, therefore the company com with Wavi Xtion product, which should enable gesture control for the PCs. The signal must be transmitted over a UWB connection to up to eight foot range. The package will appear in the second quarter of 2011 with a still unknown price.

In the picture no camera is visible, but the precise use and software solution from Asus, we will probably learn more soon. If Microsoft really brings soon out to the Kinect camera for regular computer with no hack to need, Asus has to offer their product with a good price to get it off the shelves.

If the games do not support gesture control on the PC I do not think it could be hardly a success.
