Rumor: PSP 2 Coming Soon
Sources suggest that the PSP 2 is real, touch screen-enabled, and coming soon.

January 26, 2009 - The evolution of the PSP has been one of small incremental updates rather than drastic aesthetic and hardware reconfigurations. Since its debut in 2005 the PSP has undergone two mild hardware adjustments with the PSP-2000 and the PSP-3000. While the 2000 series altered the handheld in terms of form -- slimming down the hardware by 33% in weight, and 19% in thickness -- the 3000 series made some notable functional improvements, such as a built-in microphone. The 2000 and 3000 series ensured the continued success of the PSP brand across North America and Europe, many gamers have been clamoring for a full-fledged PSP 2 for months.

Although Sony has consistently denied that any such product is in development, rumors and predictions have been circling for over a year about a forthcoming PSP 2. Last week we posted our predictions for the seemingly inevitable sequel to the popular handheld, citing hardware improvements like dual thumbsticks and a touch screen interface, but now we've learned that our hopes and dreams for the system may be, in part, dead on the money.


IGN has learned from several credible sources that the PSP 2 is indeed on the horizon, and will be packing multi-touch technology. According to our sources, the PSP 2 will feature a widescreen multi-touch interface comparable to that of the iPhone for both in-game control and menu navigation. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure any additional details on the alleged new system, but this latest batch of rumors seems to fall in line with other recent claims orbiting the vast recesses of the internet.

This latest batch of rumors comes on the heels of an allegedly official Sony survey leaked by enthusiast blog, PSPFanboy.com, which asked consumers what features would compel them the most to buy a new PSP. Among the choices offered by the survey were a touch screen interface, Bluetooth support, an integrated hard drive, GPS, and nationwide wireless networking. If true, the survey seems to further suggest that Sony is in the process of drastically revising the PSP's core hardware.


We contacted Sony representatives for further comment on the matter, but their response was unsurprisingly straight out of the rumor-response playbook, "We can't comment on rumors or speculation."

Não encontrei nada sobre o assunto aqui no fórum, se já existir peço desculpa, movam se faz favor :)
 
Eventualmente uma PSP 2 irá sair. De todos esses extras mencionados o multi-touch e disco rígido incorporado são dos mais interessantes.
 
Essa "pseudo-noticia" nunca devia de ter existido, quanto mais este tópico.
Isso é o trabalho de alguém que não tinha mais nada para fazer e decidiu criar um artigo, tipo noticia, a dizer o que queria que a PSP2 tivesse.
O triste é que não é inedito... já existem outros tópicos aqui sobre isso de outros sites que fizeram o mesmo... vale qualquer coisa para ganhar uns clicks extra no site deles :|

Sim tens razão, no entanto eu coloquei o tópico aqui porque o ign é um site muito respeitado e que tem acesso a muita informação. Não tou a dizer que acredito em tudo o que diz a noticia mas penso que a psp2 já está a ser desenvolvida apesar de a sony dizer que poderá não estar.
 
Sony blasts touchscreen PSP 2 rumors: nothing but poppycock
Rumors of a touchscreen-capable PSP 2 have been running rampant for the past few days. There was that survey from Sony asking about new PSP features just a few days ago, and then, the rumor column of UK OPM also listed that games are already being developed for the next-gen handheld.

Are they all true? More like poppycock, says Sony.

Representatives of Sony are on crunchtime trying to squash all the speculation. One of the more recent reports of the PSP 2 rumor comes from none other than IGN UK. In their report from a few days ago:

IGN has learned from several credible sources that the PSP 2 is indeed on the horizon, and will be packing multi-touch technology. According to our sources, the PSP 2 will feature a widescreen multi-touch interface comparable to that of the iPhone for both in-game control and menu navigation.

This seems to have triggered some stinging remarks from Sony, even calling out IGN as a non-reliable news source. For one, a Sony rep has contacted TechRadar and flat-out denied IGN's report as purely unfounded and that there are no current plans for a PSP 2.

Meanwhile, though not an official representative, another source close to Sony has contacted MCV UK, giving us a more colorful reply to IGN's rumor:

Clearly, being a quiet time of year, many, what we thought to be credible websites, are making up stories about PSP 2, and how it allows you to teleport across the globe, travel through time, and will be powered by the horns of baby rhinoceroses.


Hopefully, you can sense a mild tone of sarcasm, which should hopefully indicate how ‘on the money’ IGN are. Needless to say, we don't comment on rumour or speculation, but this is nonsense.

Oooh. Baby rhinos? Enter PETA!

Well whatever the case, it's not the first time Sony's tried to squash rumors, only to confirm a few months later that what's being speculated about is indeed real. Everyone remember what happened when pictures of a PSP-3000 surfaced from China? Oh yeah, we definitely knew what happened after that, don't we?

"No comment." "There are no plans for [insert rumor here]." Famous last words, right?

Boas

Desculpem lá, mas a IGN não brinca em serviço, nem precisa de clicks extras, eles para escreverem esta noticia, é porque alguem com credibilidade os informou.

Cumprimentos
 
"Are they all true? More like poppycock, says Sony." - Pois também não acho que a sony confirmasse uma noticia destas lol. A noticia deve ter a sua parte da verdade.

Mitch: Ya xD ou então o GT portable vai ser titulo de lançamento da PSP2 xD (ou então nao) lol.
 
The Outsider disse:
A existir a PSP2, deveriam trocar de imediato o suporte físico de jogos. UMDs não! Apostar mais numa store para compra de jogos!
