A port is a port. How are ports doing on the PS3 ?

Tales of Vesperia did really well and I think that was the most recent port.

they released it on a umd. It was hacked. no one bought it anymore. Seriously, check torrent sites. Gran Turismo PSP has been downloaded close to 2million times already.

what are they going to do next? Move to DS, xbox or Wii, as they are the anti-piracy paradise?

I feel sad to know how people can whine about not selling enough "PORTS". we aren't talking about remake or even spin-off.. this is direct PORTS we are talking about

I don't think he's saying the PSP is the only console or handheld that has piracy, it's just the PSP has A LOT of piracy, moreso than any of the others except PC.

At this very moment, right now, on one torrent site, ONE. I counted 3300~ish active downloads of gran turismo psp.

Thats about 120,000 USD revenue being downloaded RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE. for ONE game.

God of war Chains of Olympus was downloaded over 2.2million times from that one site.

That doesn't tell us how many of those people would actually buy the game if they were unable to download it.

If something's free, everyone will jump on it.
