On a related note, PSP software is in dire need of a gimmick.

I think that's an exaggeration, the PSP is doing fine, actually it's the most successful rival handheld gaming system ever since Nintendo started dominating this market segment with the original Gameboy.

But speaking as a consumer, the planned feature of being able to stream TV (and media) from the PS3 to the PSP over the internet and program my PS3 wirelessly to record TV programs as a DVR using the PSP may well be a feature to win me over. (Three games I would be interested in buying, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Daxter and R&C: Size Matters)

The system is fine, I'm referring to the attach rate of the software, which does and is leading the system down the road to being considered a multimedia device, and not a handheld gaming console.

That thread claims attach rate number of about 1 game per 3 consoles sold this week in europe. Future development of games on the PSP isn't a profitable investment for software companies, and the library is suffering from lack of support of gaming by PSP's owners, imo.

IMO software sales are overall doing just fine as well, having just checked worldwide holiday software sales, software overall is considerably outselling hardware sales. Maybe for that week in question there were no interesting new game releases or the data is simply incomplete.
