Could it be? :devil:

Sounds like it, Although unless it's a potential handheld title I can't see it being a next gen game as the main console's sequels won't be out for years yet.

Xbox 360 and PS3 are still widely refered to as next gen :p (and it makes a lot of sense to put next-gen in the advert seeing as SHSM was on PS2, PSP and Wii :p)
