Apparently you're nothing in this business if you don't have an anonymous, highly-placed source close to Sony. IGN's source says that the company is gearing up to unveil the successor to PSP. MCV's source says, approximately, that IGN's source is a stupidhead. Watch the fireworks:
"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," wrote an IGN reporter on Monday.
In response, UK website MCV quoted its own source, who said: "Clearly, being a quiet time of year, many, what we thought to be credible websites, are making up stories about PSP2, and how it allows you to teleport across the globe, travel through time, and will be powered by the horns of baby rhinoceroses."
(But will it fly and make you breakfast?)
MCV's source goes on: "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."
My official stated pulled-from-thin-air position is still that Sony will talk about PSP 2 in 2009.
