The problem is UMD, the format is not good for portable, i mean, i was annoyed by the noise, the loading times but mostly, by THE BATTERY LIFE, so i installed a homebrew only to dump my UMDs in the Memory Stick, since then i play nicely on my PSP...
Now, i use homebrew only to smooth portable play, but what about the people that are annoyed by the UMDs and don't want to use homebrew? they'll pass... And what about the people that get the homebrew, and discover that with that the PSP is really easy to pirate? they count for hardware sales, but not for software sales...
So my point is this: UMD makes a lot of people to either not get a PSP or use it to pirate, and both are bad for software sales...
If they can distribute the games in both UMD and online until the PSP2 comes (i hope the PSP2 will get rid of the UMD once and for all), i think that can help to distribute more software without piracy...
