If you believe a Google translation of a rumor on a foreign language web site, the next PSP may utilize four cores which would give it more processing and graphics power than the original Xbox console.

Last weekend I became another statistic of the ever-growing epidemic that has been plaguing Xbox 360 owners for some time: My Xbox 360 finally red ringed.
