PSP2? So Soon?

According to Eurogamer Spain, who claims to have gotten a hold of some classified information, Sony's planned successor to the PSP packs quite a punch in the pixels.  It's reported to be built around a quad-core the POWERVR SGX543MP graphics chip, allowing it match the capabilities of the original Xbox and, apparently, even run DX10.  If true, this would certainly suggest that the new device will be in possession of a high-resolution screen, perhaps even 1280x720.

However, with the PSP Go just around the corner, it seems somewhat unlikely that Sony would be planning the PSP2 with such current tech, rather than a chip in development.  There does, of course, remain the possibility that they plan to keep both the PSP and PSP2 on the market simultaneously, as they have done with their home console line.  And there are always the persistent rumors that a PSP phone is coming, so who knows if this could be their planned iPhone-killer?  It's doubtful we'll get anything out of Sony at this stage, though.
