Gran Turismo 4 to be Ported to PSP

As documented by many sources "Gran Turismo" creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, recently revealed on Sony Japan's website that "GT4" for the PS2 will be ported to the PSP. Yamauchi notes a similarity in horsepower between the aging console and its sleek handheld cousin and suggests that instead of developing a game from the ground up for the PSP, why not simply port one that is already done. Yamauchi believes that it can almost be a straight port without losing much of the functionality of the console version. Very cool. The PSP is due out next year. "GT4" for the PS2 is scheduled for a Nov. 04 release.
