Before we go all nuts about this recent development, I am still pretty skeptical on the truth behind this post on the reason that there are still no pics on the unit. However, this doesn’t mean im not FRIGGIN EXCITED on the news that there’s already a real PSP2 out right now (on the chance that it is true that is).
Sony has been a pretty tight-lipped about the whole thing– and I must say if this is true then man they pulled a fast one on a lot of us regardless of the rumors that have been circling about the unit.
According to Joystiq, Netherrealm Studios executive producer Shaun Himmerick that they already have the PSP2 in their hands.
He announced that they have the unit when he was asked if there’s a possibility of a Mortal Kombat reboot heading to the PSP or 3DS:
“We’re not launching day one on all consoles like that. We are looking at them; we have a PSP2 in the house and we’re looking at the engine, like what can it support.”
He then added that the PSP2 looks like it’s a “pretty powerful machine”. When they asked sony about confirmation on the said report they kept mum about it (as usual).
So yeah that’s the latest scoop as of the moment about the unit… So don’t ask us if it has a dual analog nub or does it have touch screen, bluetooth or whatever. We don’t know too and like you guys we’re aching to get any news regarding the unit seeing that most of us here have our own PSPs and would like to see it with our own eyes.
