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?

 

Insomniac isn't making Resistance Retribution. Some studio called Sony Bend is making it. They're the same guys that do the Syphon Filter series on PSP. They ARE first party.

Relevant upcoming western third party DS releases are Sonic Chronicles, Spectrobes 2, Mushroom Men, My Sims Kingdom, Ninjatown, Touchmaster 2, Quantum of Solace, Tom Clancy's Endwar, Monster Lab, Ultimate Band, Call of Duty: World At War, Star Wars: The Clone Wars-Jedi Alliance, Shaun White Snowboarding, Guitar Hero: On Tour-Decades, Need of Speed Undercover, Moon, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, Age of Empires Mythologies, Tony Hawk's Motion featuring Hue Pixel Painter, The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, Prince of Persia: The Fallen King, Gauntlet, Peggle, de Blob, Dragon's Lair, Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, Secret Files: Tunguska, Skate It, and Warlords DS.

That's just what's on board for 2008. Here's what's in store(so far) for 2009.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Ghostbusters, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Fusion, Roogoo, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, Duke Nukem Trilogy, Overlord: Minions, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction.

 

They aren't? Damned that sux.

And exactcly how many of those Western Titles are going to end up being great?  Less than 5? Compared to the titles coming from Japanese devs?
