I'm having trouble understanding what you wrote, but I think I get the gist of it.

How does the new, official firmware offer "new quality"? I can only assume you mean higher framerates for those who don't use hacked firmware/loaders, in which case this is true. However, this is something homebrew has already offered for years, so I fail to see what the big hubbub is about.

khem... my English is damn far from perfectness...

It's not only about higher framerate. I don't know why it's so difficult to understand for you. More powerful system offers more to devs. Take a look on FF:CC or GoW these games look amazing and probably it's a result of new approach to the system. You can offer more because system can handle it. No magic here.

 Now I see what you're getting at.

I really have no clue how the differing clock speeds of the PSP is handled by dev. I was under the impression that the first few games were targeted for 333mhz, but things were changed at the last second - as for how this inpacted the games, I have no clue. There are a couple games that up the clock to 266mhz, but this was something sony allowed for a few choice developers. 

Now this full clock should be available for every developer and every new game. However, I really don't think this changes anything outside of having better looking games. I can't see the sales impact of this being anything significant.
