Sony, despite their protestations to the contrary, can’t be happy about the direction the Grand Theft Auto series has been going. The enormous popularity of the Xbox 360 exclusive The Lost and the Damned and the upcoming Chinatown Wars – which is awesome – has left PlayStation owners bereft and jealous. According to MTV Multiplayer Blog, to get some new GTA stuff for the PlayStation Portable.
“No one should sleep on that franchise,” John Koller, Sony’s head of PSP hardware marketing in North America, told me in a phone interview yesterday. “That’s a tremendous franchise for PlayStation in general. We’ve had two that are the top two sellers on PSP right now. So, there’s definitely continued conversations with ['GTA' development studio] Rockstar on all their brands. That’s nothing that’s left the PlayStation family… To be honest, Rockstar has to manage their business as they see fit. We’re very good partners with them. They just launched ‘The Lost and the Damned‘ for 360, so, they need to make their own business decisions. But we certainly have a tremendous relationship with them and always have.”
Koller did not, however, reveal any new GTA for the PSP, but at least Sony is still hungry for new Rockstar PSP content.

I have an idea for a new game. Maybe, since all 3D gta’s have a male character to play as, it could be a female(suggesting Denise Robinson from San Andreas). Or it can take place in Ireland or Florida.
