There was a small flurry of excitement when Sony Computer Europe's UK Managing Director, Ray Maguire, confirmed that the PSP handheld gaming console would receive a redesign.
However, no revamp is actually in the works. Sony America's senior director of communications Dave Karraker said that Maguire's comments were merely forward-looking statements and shouldn't be taken as confirmation of an imminent redesign. Does that sound like an outranking to you?
Both the Playstation and PS2 have received design upgrades during their active lifetimes, accompanied by price cuts.
So, the rumours were partly true, but really should be based on past Sony behaviour.
