Sony officially confirms that the PSP Go has been discontinued as efforts are shifted to ongoing NGP development.

A new report from Flurry Analytics finds that iOS and Android devices now account for a third of the portable gaming market.

Sony drops the price on its PSP handheld gaming devices from $169.99 to $129.99, most likely in the hopes of clearing out stock before the NGP launches later this year.

Sony has unveiled its new handheld and its not called PSP2. The Sony NGP, Next Generation Portable, will have a 5-inch OLED screen, capacitive multitouch, a rear multitouch surface, motion control, 3G, 2 full control sticks, PlayStation Suite support, a quad-core CPU, a quad-core GPU, and be capable of playing full PS3 games. A complete report of the unveiling is below.

The video game industry’s slump shows no signs of abating, but there is a silver lining for both Sony and Microsoft.
