Acclaim Games Exec Swears PSP2 Coming
Reports of a Sony (SNE) "PSP2" circulate the Internet like a modern-day Loch Ness monster. We hear there's one coming, then there's not. Then a fresh report, and a fresh denial.
Now another PSP2 sighting, with one key difference -- someone is willing to stake their name and reputation by going on record swearing to the PSP2's existence.
That someone is David Perry, chief creative officer at Acclaim, who told Kotaku:
"I spoke to a developer who is working on it [a PSP2] right now," he said. "I know this developer is already working on it, so that means they have a prototype. That would sound like a fall release to me."
Perry said he is excited about the news.
"I've been pounding on Sony for a long time to make the Playstation Portable relevant and not to let Apple stroll away with the portable game market," he said. "Look at what Apple is doing now. Why are so many investors investing in Apple game development? Trying to pitch a PSP game to investors right now is brutal."
