Naming issues – PSP-2000
Um, what? They’re calling the new slimmer, lighter PSP, the PSP-2000, at least in Japan and the UK. Why? I don’t know if they want it to sound all second-generation like the stereotypical sci-fi robots. They surely can’t be naming it after the millennium, which was 7 years ago, and after which the original PSP launched anyways. Weird. It reminds me of HAL.
UPDATE: Joystiq got the skinny:
“Yes, PSP-2000 is the model number (as PSP-1000 was the original). However, it is being referred to by Reeves (check the link above) and in widely reported articles as the PSP-2000 like that’s the name. It will still be officially known as the PSP, as Sony is not rebranding the unit to differentiate it in consumer’s minds. So the choice of Sony executives, instead of giving it a sexy name, is referring to it as the PSP 2000.”
