It is always good to see a system getting support.

The question though is will people buy them?

With so many games out at once, it means they all to compete for the same customers.

Similarly, the PSP has a reputation for people "acquiring" software, which also makes selling games, even good ones, more difficult.

DAX says that given the amount of updates downloaded from the site that somewhere between 5-8% of PSP users total have the ability to pirate software.  Even if we say an even 10% or 20%(which seems a little high to me) you still get 41.85 or 37.2 million potential customers who would still purchase interesting  software. 

Interesting software that is available for purchase from the machine itself as a new way of reaching customers.

People bought 46.51 million PSP's with  "no good games".  I fail to see how it having undeniably massive amounts of AAA software wouldn't help propel it's hardware sales to greater heights as it's been doing fine without them.

I wouln't be surprised to see a small price drop this year to see the PSP really go casual.  How long has it been since the last?  I bet even down to $149 and $179  would do wonders for moving hardware and selling more software.
