Sony mocks IGN's PSP2 rumors

Earlier today, we reported on IGN's rumor that Sony certainly has the next PlayStation Portable handheld device in the works. In response, Sony has humorously commented on IGN's rumors in an email exchange with MCV. It goes without saying that large corporations, such as Sony, usually stick to the "no comment" stance with any and all rumors and speculation. This time, however, they're taking their gloves off a tad.
"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," MCV's source 'close to 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."
Only one side of this story can be right. While it would be fantastic to get our hands on a time-traveling PSP2 powered by rhinoceroses horns, we might not see that until PSP3. Let's see how things play out.

Sony has to save their rears for the hundreds of thousands of PSP's on the shelves. It would be a mess if Sony announced a new PSP that is scheduled for possibly the end of this year, or 2010. Sony can't fool anyone, surely they're working on something. The PSP needs help!

I thought the original PSP was already powered by the horns of baby rhinoceroses? The time-travelling feature for PSP is being finely tuned at the moment. But the teleporting across the globe feature was ditched in favour of a trophy system for the PSP instead. :)

Rumor has it that Microsoft is coming out with a new handheld to compete with the PSP and DS. However, instead of having a rechargeable battery and a start switch, it will be gas powered and will have a pull start (spark plug and gas cap are sold seperately). *yank * *yank* *yank* *yank* *yank* *yank* *yank* rangyangyangyangyangpoppoppop *BACKFIRE* *engine dies* *puffs out a red smoke ring*

The PSP2 needs to launch this year, so Sony can stop re-hashing the same old piece of hardware trying to prevent homebrew. Hombrew is the only thing the PSP has going for it.
