Psp - 3000

The rumor that Sony licensed a processor for the PSP's successor got a lot of people buzzing.

The rumor mill has chucked out another one on the PSP 2, despite claims from SCEE boss David Reeves that "no, there are currently no plans for a PSP 2."

The rumor now goes that Sony will be introducing the PSP-4000, the successor of the PSP Brite, in late 2009. Its release will be followed with the the next-generation PSP 2 "later."

I admit, this is rather thin, even for a rumor, but it does show how mighty persistent talks of the PSP 2 is. Persistent rumors have a tendency to have a grain of truth. I won't say I believe it yet though.

Oh, and you probably already guessed, but Sony was already reached for comment today, but they gave their usual talk to the hand, "no comment on rumor and speculation" routine.

Sony's tight-lipped as ever, and predictably refuses to comment on "rumour and speculation."

Probably too busy on making that new PSP?

In case you missed the news, the rumor slipped out of the mill 26Nov, when word got out that the Imagination Technologies Group has signed a license agreement with a new partner. Sources said the new partner was Sony, who licensed a new processor for the PSP 2, the successor of the current gen.

Probably part of why the rumor got so popular is because the iPhone also runs on Imagination's tech. The iPhone's been making waves in the gaming industry lately, trying to get a piece of the gaming pie. Naturally people would perk up their ears if Sony's trying to get a piece of the Apple pie. (You've just been PUNd.)
