Further speculation has surfaced regarding a full successor to the PSP2.

Rumours of a PSP successor‭ ‬began in December,‭ ‬with numerous news outlets reporting that developers are already working on software for the unnamed and unannounced device.‭

Just days later,‭ ‬Sony would back away from its no-comment stance and claim outright that‭ ‬“no plans for a PSP2‭ ‬are underway‭”‬,‭ ‬and that such speculation came from a‭ ‬ misinterpretation of‭ ‬Sony’s newly-announced policy of focusing developers away from Universal Media Discs and towards digital distribution.‭

Quoting several credible and anonymous sources,‭ ‬games site IGN‭ ‬claims to have learned‭ ‬that the PSP‭ ‬2‭ ‬“is indeed on the horizon.‭”‬ The news site adds that‭ “‬the PSP‭ ‬2‭ ‬will feature a widescreen multi-touch interface comparable to that of the iPhone for both in-game control and menu navigation.‭”

great. I'm in the market for a PSP. Lost interest in my DS after upgrading to iPhone 3G. I'm reluctant to get a current PSP as I'd rather wait to see if a new PSP is on the way. I definitely buy one if they do release a touch screen version. Lets hope the rumors are true
