The lack of software leads me to believe that this may be the last Holiday season for the PSP. Is piracy entirely to blame for the system's demise or was it just marketed wrong?

The problem is it's very easy to hack, and steal all the games. Who wants to develop for a system like that?

It's a drought I say! it's the worst year for PSP since launch I say!

Part of the problem is piracy, the other part might be because the DS versions cost less, very often.

So how do you solve the piracy problem?

Very true, I'm guessing that is also the reason for the not so stellar sales PSP games get?

I guess EA still makes games, but they would make games calculators if they had a way to put them on there. j/k

pirac really hurts the psp

I thought the slim models were supposed to fix the piracy problem. I haven't heard anything about those systems being hackable, or at least not as easily as the original models. Plus after watching Sony's E3 I think even they have lost faith in it, most of the stuff they showed off were known titles. Plus a lack of a price drop also shows me that maybe they are just milking it out until they can get a succesor ready.

I don't know if you can "solve" the piracy problem, but maybe some unique hardware inside that makes it difficult for even an above average thief to steal a game would help immensely. Of course there will be assholes that decide to put a video up on youtube on how to do it, but at least the thieves would have to work to steal the games.

edit: and announcing a price drop at E3 isn't something that any of the 3 companies is likely to do.  And we were promised 12 new games at Leipzig, so expect some of them to be on the psp.

they should have made it so PSP games could be pirated so easily. I have a PSP and all the games I have, I only have 4(well, technically 5 or 6) games but they are all legitament copies and not pirated

Problem solver? PSP DRM!!!  and the circle continues, lol.
