The PSP may finally be getting a good run of games with title like Beaterator, LittleBigPlanet and GTA Chinatown Wars but it wasn’t always the case. Now Sony’s bosses have revealed just why it’s handheld took so long to take off. Read on to find out why…

According to Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida say the Playstation 3 is to blame for the slow trickle of titles for the PSP.

They probably know DA has stopped creating cfw and know that nobody else can make a good cfw. Therefor they now see a good reason to support the psp. With the go being hack-proof for now, they think people will pay $40 for a digital title. Not me though. No way would I pay $40 for a psp game.

That there AREN'T many PSP games. <_<

I don't even know if I agree with them releasing more psp games. I do appreciate the fact that they do release them, but if I were sony I would have probably given up on this generation of psp already. Then again, that wouldn't sit too well with a lot of people; well whatever, if there's a game that tickles my fancy I'll get it.

What ever happen to Dark Alex anyway? Did he finally get caught?

And so it has, GT Mobile sucks (it's begging for a Career Mode!), Macross Frontier Ace & Utlimate are Japanese ONLY!

Other then the "Above" what could be of any possible interest to anyone?

That S0NY chap has it correct though, the "Problem" was solved by me ditching the Platform years ago. I only picked it up again for the waste that was GTM

don't forget the tons of psp games, where they released a ps2 version simultaneously or a little bit later. It's not that the ps2 has sold 140 million and is still set up in many houses...

i have a funny story.

my mother went into EB games to buy my brother a 360 for his birthday, anyway mum told the guy that "they already have a ps3, ps2, xbox, 2 psps, ds and a gba" and the guy in the store was apearantly like "and out of thoes the psp is definatly the best"

im not sure whether i should laugh at him or not.

I don't think is so...Now on psp there are great titles.

This games for November - December
Pro Evolution Soccer 2010
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
LittleBigPlanet
Tekken 6
Army of Two: The 40th Day
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Loco Roco:Midnight Carnival

New Years
Dante's Inferno
Metal Gear: Peace Walker
Parasite Eve: The third Birthday.

I think some other game lack appeal, like
ICO
Devil May Cry
Zone Of the Enders

This is a stupid comment from Sony..

Look at Nintendo for example in the same situation.

Wii is #1, and DS both still get "max support" from devs. Yes, alot is crap, but its still nice number of game titles each week for both consoles.

We dont have games for it but dont worry lets make another version even craper than the original and the PSP branch wont loose as much for the end of the year.

OMG were really giving our money to them?

in all fairness, the amount of games that we've all 'acquired' since launch will last us a lifetime anyway.
