Forums - Sony - To my fellow PSP Fans!!!!!

Yea, the PSP is entering a big drought, but you've been acting like there has been one for months and months, when it was just your taste in games and not liking sequels.

Patapon was released this year - Highly reviewed, argruably the best game on the PSP and it was a brand new IP.

And I not talking about hardware, I'm talking about software...........
WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE SUBJECT?? I've actually always thought the psp has done quite well actually in hardware. I'm concerned with software.. no not sales, but the games themselves.

 

Are you talking to me? ....because if you are.../shakes fist

Your joking right . Except 4 weeks or so every week the PSP had sold more in the US than in the previous years . Also just look at last weeks chart and you will see the PSP above PS2/PS3/360 in the US , and this is happening afther the major GTA4 and MGS4 releases . And taking in consideration that the PSP has nothing ... well youl do the math ;)

I did a quick check, never noticed a difference of more than 5k in hardware, and software was virtually the same (despite a years worth more of PSP's sold). PSP is selling more than those right now, but PS3 can easily pass that number, and 360 is in a big slump but will bounce back with a price cut.

ANYWAY, my point: PSP recieved a lot of 3rd party support in the beginning because it was thought to be the next big thing. It has been fairly succesful, but the progress in the past 18 months or so will not have been enough to encourage more 3rd parties to make games on PSP, outside of Japan of course.

 

But thats the thing . Most every change that happens in Japan will end in the US/EU . And tbh even tough we are still not seeing it the fact that Ubi actually promissed 12 games ( signs of 3rd party studios support ) and many companies like Planet Moon had shown interest in the resurection of the PSP ,  and with the support of the Japanese industry we could see the PSP comming back this year in Japan . Remember back at the beginning of 07 most of the games that where released where in production in 06 maybe even 05 .

 

Also the fact that PSP software sales where almost the same in 07 and 06 even with the hardware bump , and the PSP can maintaine an even a bit higher level now with arguably no killer game on the horizon is pretty impressive IMO , and yes that shows that the PSP is actually seeing an overall boost . A big one ? No . But IMO it will be enough for most developers to at least go for another round ... ( Similr to the end of the life period of the GC ) .

Hi all. Zenfoldor here. I just would like to make a request. I request that this topic stay free from any comparisons, sales or library wise between the PSP and the DS.

The DS, in fact, should no longer be mentioned in this topic, unless absolutely necessary.

I know it is inevitable that some Nintendo or DS fanboy would pop into this topic with a cheapshot at the PSP, or vice-versa and it would start a flame war that neither side can win due to opinion being involved. This topic is completely fine being just a discussion about the PSP, and there is no need to rekindle the flames of hate just because the PSP has a topic about it with a negative connotation asserted in the OP.

To make an on topic post myself:

The PSP seems like a great system with more than just games going for it. The MP3 player ability is also nice, so looking at it as just a gaming system is a bit one dimensional. As portable entertainment it is excellent. Also, it sells very well in Japan. I wish developers had a better future lineup for all systems, not just the PSP.

Zenfoldor out.

Why would I mention it . It would make the PSP look worse :P

 



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

lol, I wasn't implying anything bad. Don't give up your guns. The PSP is a good system with nice functionality, don't give up the good fight.

I just didn't want this topic to turn into another Nintendo verses Sony passive-agressive flame war, like they always do.

Here's the thing: it's the only original IP I see for the psp this year... Patapon just seems like it was developed for a japanese audience in mind.... Would it be too hard for sony to release a western aimed game?.. and didn't pursuit force get ported by now? I coulda swore I saw something about that. (they may have cancelled the port though, IDK.)

Alright - well said, I'll accept that.
