Citing a well-placed source, VG247 is reporting that the PSP-4000 is indeed in development, echoing previous comments made by Eurogamer late last year.

This time, said sources offered a bit more in the way of details on the supposed fourth PSP hardware revision, revealing that it will be completely revamped aesthetically. One of the changes is a front-sliding screen. Inside, though, it’ll still be based on the same tech – meaning this is not PSP2.

An announcement regarding the PSP-4000 is expected to be made in the coming months, during either GDC or E3. The photo above is only an artistic representation of what the new PSP might look like, not the real thing, obviously.
