This very slim PSP concept was created by Nick Kim and you have to know that the console uses a sliding mechanism that hides its hot display beneath parts that incorporate the gaming buttons. When closed, the device looks like an old school controller, but when the PlayStation Portable is open it looks as if the older version was cut in half and made more elegant, although it looks a bit fragile that way.

We’ve been handling lots of concept phones lately, but very few portable console designs. Thus, we’re glad to stumble upon Justin Porcano’s creation, the GON console pictured below. This PSP rival uses an innovative way to protect the screen, by covering it with two sliding sections that include the gaming controls.
This reminds me of an Xbox controller, combined with a smaller and modified PlayStation Portable. The handheld gaming system uses a platform that once again resembles the PSP and I have to say that we really like those analog sticks incorporated into the device.
Keep in mind that this is a mere concept console and not a real product, so don’t bother asking for its price.Would you like this to become a real product?

We’ve just heard another rumour regarding the fact that Sony is preparing a PSP Phone and to go with it, we’ve got the following PSP concept, created by Won Chan Lee. The PSP Bugatti Veyron Edition was an assignment from a product design course in Seoul National University of Technology, with the result being the great idea created by this designer.
The students involved in this initiative had to create a special edition of the PSP, using Photoshop and Illustrator to make a 2D render that showcases the identity of Bugatti Veyron. This device is supposed to use a SDHC memory card, Bluetooth for multiplayer games (4 people max) and it also incorporates a 16:9 aspect ratio screen.
Won Chan Lee also mentions a new version of Gran Turismo bundled with the limited edition PSP. What do you say? Is it viable?

How about taking fun on the road? Designer Antoine Brieux created a concept gaming device that’s able to integrate a smartphone and provide some extra functionality for productivity freaks. The device is known as the WOOGA and it gets pictured in the following images.
The portable console WOOGA includes a special space that hosts your phone thanks to a bunch of keeping parts. The handset will communicate wit h this device, perhaps via Bluetooth, but what we know for sure is that this console wannabe can be used in a game configuration, as seen in the images below.
There’s also a more smartphone-like configuration, that makes the device look more like a netbook than a console. WOOGA incorporates stereo speakers, an automatic lock system, a large keyboard and a Li-Ion battery on the netbook side. On the exterior gaming side, you’ll find configurable game buttons, a directional pad, a rubber handgrip and a 3.5mm audio jack.

You have seen this concept before, here, but we’re just come across some new color versions of the portable Xbox 720 design and better angles of the device. Created by Tai Chiem, the console features an unique look and it’s shaped like an UFO.
You’ve got to love those curved bars and the liquid (really?) segment at the top. This gaming device seems to be a blend between metal and glass, with a design that will certainly appeal to youngsters and gamers, so it would better have some top notch features to match its looks.

Tai Chiem is a name you’ll remember, since this Australian designer created a superb flexible OLED PSP 2 concept and now he’s back for some Xbox action. You can see the Xbox 720 portable console below, a brilliant device that looks more like Stargate stuff than your PSP replacement.
We have no info on this strange gaming device, but we suppose it has the full package: motion sensing, touchscreen, ability to morph into some other gadget, tons of internal memory, WiFi, an accelerometer, a web browser and media playing capabilities. Would you buy such a crazy device?

This has all the chances to be a mere concept, but unbelievably enough it seems like a real device. ODROID is an Android OS-based gaming device, a portable console made by the folks of Hardkernel.
We’re not dealing with a phone, but rather with a portable gadget with a very poor design, although it manages to pack quite a bunch of decent specs, under the hood. There’s an ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz processor among the features (Samsung S5PC100 CPU), very much like the one used on the iPhone 3GS and a 3.5 inch capacitive touchscreen on board, once again a resemblance with Apple’s phone.
Wi-Fi, microSD/SD storage, composite TV out and an audio jack round up the specs list. If it weren’t for the bad design, we’d dig this device and maybe call it a PSP killer…

Designers must have been so disappointed with Sony’s PSP Go!, that they decided not to create any more PSP Phone or PSP 2 concepts… Esato board user pavlov’s dog breaks the ice and shows us a very neat concept, a PSP Phone, judging by the presence of the Sony Ericsson branding.
Without the side controls (d pad, analog and action buttons) this concept looks just like the PSP Go!, but the additions are welcome, specially if we consider the mess Sony made with their new console. Am I the only one who doesn’t like the PSP Go!?

This is as close to a portable Xbox as it gets and even the green color of the Animate portable device concept reminds us of Microsoft’s console, although it’s a different shade of green. Created by Hugo Kretz and Marc Haldemann, this concept aims to make sedentary children start exercising.
The device comes with a camera, an MP3 player, a wrist watch band, videogames and perhaps even a GPS. There’s even a neat hide & seek-like game to play, as you can see in the video below, after the break.
Animate is a very cool gadget, that I’d love to own if it were real. Nothing would stop Nintendo from dominating the market if they’d manufacture it and I guess they’ll throw in a touchscreen or two, for the DS fanatics. Great job, guys!

Ever since portable consoles were invented, they kept on shrinking and packing more features and innovative technologies like touchscreens, WiFi and more storage space. Now, it’s time for the console and watches to unite, thanks to Wilson Song’s concept: Samsung WM.
The device comes with earbuds and a pen that clips into the back panel of the console/watch. There’s also a giant display on board and a control system based on motion capture technology, plus a camera at the back, that checks out your thumbs and feet.
We also find out that the device can roll around the wrist, since it uses a flexible screen and we’re fascinated by the fact that you can control games on a watch by using your feet and hands. If this becomes real and we get to play GTA V on such a console, Sony and Nintendo are going to be history.
