Sony Says PSP2 Is Not Coming
We might have mentioned the other day how there’s a PSP4000 in the works and that games for the PSP2 are being developed. That wasn’t confirmed news but since people are talking it must mean something right?
It looks like Sony was very fast in denying the existence of any plans for the PSP2. John Koller, Sony’s Director of Hardware Marketing said that there are “no plans for a PSP2 are underway.” Are we to be happy with that answer? Should we pursue this PSP2 dream? Is Sony really not thinking about their PSP future? I find that to be highly unlikely…

PSP4000 in the Works for 2009?
Where’s the PSP heading to? Are we going to see the PSP-4000 arriving in 2009? What about the PSP2? David Reeves, president of SCEE will deny any of that but people are talking!
The PSP-4000 is rumored to be released in 2009. The same sources say that PSP2 games are currently being developed which means we should hear from them anytime soon. What do you think? Ready for the next PSP?

Sony: No PSP2 in the Making
The PSP hasn’t really been doing well for Sony, lacking big-selling games and complete disinterest of the consumer in UMDs has caused the platform a shameful defeat from the DS. Many had speculated that Sony had learnt from their mistakes and were working on a second-generation PSP, but that appears to be false, as SCEE president David Reeves has declared that “there are currently no plans for a PSP 2.”
“I go to Tokyo quite a lot and no one has referred to it–I think they have their hands full at the moment,” he told MCV. “We just launched the PSP-3000 so we are still focused on this generation of the platform.”
He agreed that software was the PSP’s main weakness, but that “PSP games will come – they just take a while longer.”
“That’s because developers, when it comes to placing their bets, have to choose PS3 and 360, then Wii, then DS, maybe even PS2 before PSP,” he explained.” It’s the same at our internal studios, where the focus has been on PS3. They’ve also focused a lot on PS2 as well because we have to get the SingStars out for that format.”
