A new year will always bring a fresh start for a lot of us. And even though the PSP has been out since March 2005 (December 2004 in Japan), there's still some new stuff to look forward to this year. We've seen a couple of thrills and spills throughout 2006, so what's there left for the handheld this 2007?

Pocket Gamer flushed out a list of 10 things which people could expect from their trusty handheld this year. Of course, before anything else, we have to say that this is just a forecast based on previous events and are listed upon the Pocket Gamer's opinions and analysis. It's their own take on how events would unfold for the PSP.

One of the interesting things they pointed out is the possibility of the "new PSP." Sony's prospect of releasing a PSP 2 has already been rumored about for some considerable time now including recent whispers about a redesigned PSP to be revealed this year.

Sprawling as these rumors are, they just are rumors (and have even been heavily debunked by some). But whether these new babies would decide to show themselves or not, people can still hope for a successor to the handheld. It could be the fabled PSP 2, or maybe something else entirely.
