E3 was the big coming-out party for PlayStation Portable -- the time where they displayed the hardware in its near-final shape, where they blared out all of its heavy-unit system features and showcased its potential titles that could be made with such technology. Next month's TGS is its next landmark event, where the first slew of full-production games is shown in action and all of the little details of its launch and price are announced. However, there is one fairly small step that must be made somewhere along the lines of any major hardware unveiling.
You've got to show it running all on its own so that people know it wasn't all a dream... On the online news service for the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri, a news piece on Sony Computer Entertainment and its upcoming PSP system completes the picture. Of course, the system was shown in all its glory at E3 back in May, but there's still a big step between showing a system that's part of a big kiosk with a game running on the screen with active buttons, and actually showing a system being held in somebody's hands and running on its own power off of its own chipset.
