PSP2…Exists?!

Shaun Himmerick (Executive Producer of the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot) may have slipped out some information upon the existence of a PSP2 in an interview at PAX 2010. During the interview, IndustryGamers asked about the possibility of a potential Mortal Kombat game on the PSP or the upcoming 3DS. In response, Himmerick said the following:

“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.”

So what does this new PSP2 look like? What are the games that might be released on it? Is this Sony’s way of responding to Nintendo’s 3DS? No one truly knows since even to this day, Sony has not yet made any official announcements that they are working on a new PSP console. What are you hiding Sony?
