This is a HOAX. The only source cited is a spoof article in SarcasticGamer.com (dated 6 Jun 2008, so it's hardly hot news). The comments below the article include:

• "I love it! It had me going for a second… until I started to read it. Then I started laughing. Very nice!"
• "Wow, until about a paragraph after the jump I thought it was real, but FUNNY especially the analog sticks part"
• "you really had me fooled, cool post"

...etc. etc. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 22:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep — Not a hoax. A couple of sources [1], [2], and [3] establish verifiability. However, I would not oppose a merge into PlayStation Portable until more information comes up. MuZemike 17:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - none of these can be considered a reliable source; none can even name a source for its rumor. The first "...has learned from a reliable source" but it's dated April 2006 - even less hot news than the source for the article! The second is headed "Rumor", and quotes "publishing sources", and a denial from Sony. The third is headlined "Sony PSP2 rumors debunked, probably not for the last time."

• Delete -- Wait until Sony makes an official announcement about their next handheld. Versus22 _talk 17:58, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
