Sony dismisses IGN's PSP2 rumors, disses IGN

Wow, not only did Sony take the time to deny an IGN rumor about the PSP2, but the company took the opportunity to flat out insult the site. IGN recently cited "several credible sources" in a report on Sony's next handheld, allegedly featuring a touch screen, Bluetooth support, hard drive and GPS. MCV then spoke to Sony about the rumor -- that's when the sparks flew.

"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," Sony explained. "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."

We don't know who to feel embarrassed for right now, but it's certainly going to be awkward if IGN is right.

oh come on i'm sure IGN has it's sources to believe PSP2 is at least being developed. It doesn't mean it's coming soon.

Note that in the quoted passage at least, Sony doesn't deny a PSP2. They seem to be calling bullshit on IGN's sources/specifics, however.

Kinda funny.

Well lets see this realistically

SONY admitting PSP 2 is coming will basically not be good for them as they loose a potential "bombshell anouncement" + PSP sales go down the drain (as if they weren't bad enough in NA/EU)

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
