Could this be the end of PSP?

The poblem is that the PSP is losing western support. It's basically dropped off the map outside of a few multiplatform releases. Those are primarily sports games too. Japanese support I would say is a bit sickly in direct comparison to the DS, but not dead in the least, considering they have the backing of Konami, Capcom, Square Enix, Atlus and Level-5 still. Part of the problem is that the PS2's support is drying up and that was always a main cause for healthy levels of PSP support, PS2 ports.

So the real question is, why has westen support dried up completely? None of the future big releases on PSP come from westen developers outside of a built for the PSP version of Midnight Club LA Remix, which happens to be multiplatform.

You forgot Resistance Retribution.  To be fair Western support for handhelds are never that great and most of the time it is garbage...

Hmm and I can't really name that much new western DS games  except for Bioware's sonic RPG.

 

I was under the impression we were talking about third party support, not first party. Resistance Retribution is a first party game.

Also there are plenty of big western games on the DS. One of the biggest just came out this Summer...Guitar Hero: On Tour.

 

Insomniac is not first party though.

And I talked about games that have to release, Guitar Hero is already released for more than a month now?
