After the PS2 failed to live up to its stated 395 billion polygons per second capability, Sony have issued an official statement to ease the worries about the same being true of the PSP.
A spokeperson said, “It is true that the PS2 did not quite match the specs we believed it could do. However, we do strongly believe that the PSP is fully capable of everything we have said. Including several newly announced features.”
These included:
- -725 million billion trillion polygons per second
- -Real-time bread toasting
- -200 mile wi-fi range
- -Full solar power running capability
- -Smoke Detector Alarm
- -Built in anti-tank missile guidance system
