It exists! :O

But it's for PSP. :(

Consoles > handhelds. Plus, I wanted a new Jak by Naughty Dog. :(

And Sony needs to stop with this ps2/psp crap. It hurts them far more than MS with the whole pc/360 thing, and MS has already stopped doing that with their first party stuff! Just in the thread on neogaf I see people going, "Yes, it's on ps2! I didn't want to have to buy a PSP for this!"

 

Saw your post on GA, completely agree with you.

 

But keep in mind they still want to push PS2, and some third parties (especially Japanese ones) have almost completely abandoned the console, so in a way, they are forced to port their PSP titles to PS2. Now, I disagree with that practice, but I think that's Sony reasoning. Bad idea IMO, they should just let PS2 die, there's not much they can do about its sales, but they can endanger future PSP sales with such practice.

 

Why abandon the PS2?  It still has a large install base and every single one sold is a profit. They shouldn't give up on the PS2 until they have software BC for PS3. 

PSP to PS2 software doesn't hurt the PSP's future.  Even if someone buys a PS2 instead of PSP Sony still makes money and the PSP has enough software now and in the future that can't be found on the PS2.  In addition to the fact that they will probably charge more for the PS2 version of the game making them even more money.
