Porting games to PSP doesn't pay the bills. PSP games don't sell out side of Japan and only few franchises sell on PSP in Japan. How doesn't porting a title to a portable console, with a smaller userbase, and horrid software sales outside of Japan good business?

Initially, third parties thought the PSP would be really successful, taking the handheld crown away from Nintendo; once the DS got it's bearings and PSP game sales faltered, third parties started to drift away from it, focusing more on consoles.

There seemed to be a spike in PSP titles in late 2009, coinciding with the PSP Go.  If that had been successful, it would've meant a much better environment for game developers as being download only meant they wouldn't have production costs, retail mark-up or used game sales to deal with.  That didn't happen.

Now, support for the PSP has largely dried up.

I thought PSP support fell because of piracy. The only devs trying to support it are Square Enix but their only PSP games are spinoffs, of console games. Capcom seems to support it as well, but only with Monster Hunter
