Sony’s John Koller has revealed in a recent interview with IGN that the currently Japan-only PSP Camera and GPS peripherals will be making their way stateside soon — possibly as soon as this year. Koller explains the reason behind why they held off is simply because there was not enough gaming content out there supporting the devices to actually justify a purchase.

But now, with titles like Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops supporting the GPS device, Koller says that they are in pretty good shape to launch both units and should be able to target a wider consumer base, rather than just the hardcore gamer.
