Sony have been keeping very tight-lipped when it comes to a possible successor to the PSP.  Presumably because they are only a couple of sales away from round PSP Go sales up to twenty.  That hasn’t stopped Shaun ‘there once was a man from’ Himmerick, a Mortal Kombat dev, from spilling his guts about it.

“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.  Always a big thing for us is the performance. We’re running at 60 fps, what can we do and do we have to build all the art assets over. We’re definitely looking at them. PSP2 looks like it’s a pretty powerful machine. We don’t have a 3DS system in house yet, but we’re looking to get one, and we’ll certainly look at what its power is.”

Exciting.   But will it have a second analogue stick?  Will it have glasses-less 3D?  Will it use physical media?  Most importantly, can I still flash it and run Manic Miner on it?  Stay tuned (to proper gaming news sites, we’re bored of this story already) for more answers in the near future.
