Why would they restrict themselves to the 3DS though? |
Oh, I'm not 100% sure they will, and I'd be more surprised if we never saw anything from them PSP2... but them pledging their biggest brands for 3DS before it even launches gives a pretty good indication. Last gen this sort of support was pledged to PSP initially (see Crisis Core, MGAC!D, etc), and while eventually Nomura and Kojima did a few DS titles, they were pretty low tier brands (Lunar Knights), original experiments (Stock Trader Shun) outsourced (Kingdom Hearts) or some combination of that (TWEWY). Next handheld gen, it looks like the shoe's on the other foot, and 3DS is getting the sorts of JP games one would naturally expect from a PlayStation platform upfront (Ridge Racer, Ace Combat, Musou, Metal Gear, PES, Tales, Kingdom Hearts, etc, etc)... that really can't be good for PSP2's prospects, for a competitor to get the sorts of games they're largely known for. It's a bit like 360 and PS3 this gen, Microsoft's inroads into Sony's usually dependable 3rd party catalogue definitely made a big dent in the HD battle.
