"At Destination Playstation we announced about half of the line up for the PSP this year, some fairly major, triple-A titles are coming for the back half of the year that are going to be announced in the coming months and at E3."
"LittleBigPlanet is going to be one of the top three but a number of others that are coming are just as big."

UK's well-renowned MCV got some more info and confirmation:
SCEA’s director of hardware marketing John Koller said earlier that: “At Destination Playstation we announced about half of the line up for the PSP this year, some fairly major, triple-A titles are coming for the back half of the year that are going to be announced in the coming months and at E3.”
And an SCEE spokesperson has added to MCV that “we'll be outlining the release of additional, new and existing IPs for the platform in the coming months”.
Some are already calling this July’s event as the PSP E3, and it’s certainly an exciting time for Sony’s battling machine.

SP head of marketing John Koller told MTV Multiplayer in an interview that “Assassin’s Creed” PSP won’t be a port of “Assassin’s Creed 2.” And he gave a little more insight into other newly announced PSP games.

Several major PSP hits-in-the-making were announced earlier this week, but Sony’s head of PSP marketing in North America, John Koller, told me that we don’t even know the half of it.
The announcements we made are half the story,” Koller told me in an phone interview on Thursday. “There’s another half still to be announced in the next couple of months-slash E3. A lot of first and third-party titles that are coming in the back half of the year want to hold their announcement until E3 timeframe. There’s a few pretty ‘majors’ coming still in that franchise line, but we wanted to whet people’s appetite.”

Rumor: Ready at Dawn developing new PSP God of War
by Randy Nelson { Feb 27th 2009 at 5:50PM } 
The informant tells us Ready at Dawn did, in fact, ship all of its PSP development kits back to Sony last summer, but received new kits in late 2008 after Sony ordered up the sequel. It's possible that, given its current state of development, the game might appear in some form at June's E3 Expo, our source reports. The title seems an unlikely candidate for release this year, but could be timed to coincide with God of War III's launch, which may occur in early 2010.
When contacted for comment, Ready at Dawn president and co-founder, Didier Malenfant, responded: "You know that even if we were [making the game], I couldn't answer your question." We see a "know" in there, but not a "no."
Sony’s not taking the “Grand Theft Auto” series’ move from PSP to DS as a permanent shift, the company’s head of PSP marketing in America told me in an interview.

After two successful “Grand Theft Auto” games on the PSP, the world’s most notorious gaming franchise is making its next portable outing — “Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars” — on Nintendo’s DS.
But Sony isn’t ready to let portable “GTA” out of its grasp.
“No one should sleep on that franchise,” John Koller, Sony’s head of PSP hardware marketing in North America, told me in a phone interview yesterday. “That’s a tremendous franchise for PlayStation in general. We’ve had two that are the top two sellers on PSP right now. So, there’s definitely continued conversations with ['GTA' development studio] Rockstar on all their brands. That’s nothing that’s left the PlayStation family.”
Regarding “Chinatown Wars,” Koller doesn’t see it squarely matching with the DS fanbase, which the classifies as predominantly under 12 years of age. “It’s an interesting launch on DS,” Koller said. It raises some eyebrows in a lot of areas. It’ll be interesting to see how that sells.”
“Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars” ships on March 17. No new PSP “GTA” s are announced.
Rockstar Games declined to comment for this story.
