^^ I know for sure you where saying someone or something sucks, now don´t take the easy way out and tell us who you think sucks around here. Eather we aren´t buying the games because they suck, or we suck for not buying these loads of great games, one or the other, give us some answers... do it ..... doooo it....comon do it.....do it

JK

I have: Metal Gear Ac!d, Tekken 5, Prince of Persia Revelations, Untold Legends(it was at 10$ so I bought it), GTA: Liberty City Stories, Splinter Cell Essencials, Samurai Warrios, State of War, Dragon Ball Shin Budokai, Metal gear: Portable Ops, MLB 2005(at 10$), TLOTR: Tactics, and yesterday I bought Jeanne D'Arc.

The PSP has great games, I think modded consoles are the main problem for the low software sales. I'm playing Metal Gear Ac!d, Metal Gear: Portable Ops, Jeanne D'Arc, and sometimes Tekken when I find a person to play. I will probably buy Monster HUnter Freedom 2 and Fina Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War.

These are my personal favorite games

Daxter
GTA: Vice city stories
starwars:battlefront2
dbz:shin budokai another road

Thats it... Oh yea and killzone.

Look at this Poll:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2825

Of the 26343 PSP owners aprox. 34% owns modded consoles, that's just an estimate but I think those numbers shows the reality. Now, if you look to past years you will see the PSP software numbers selling well(because it was more difficult to mod it, and people didn't know they can mod the PSP)

Most of PSP games are PS2 ports. I think that is reason low attach rate. I have 3 games (GTA:LCS, LocoRoco, Daxter) and next ones i am going to buy are God of War: Chains Of Oympus and FFVII:CC.

1/ Piracy is rampant - much more so than on the DS.

2/ Sony are promoting it for uses other than game playing. It makes a pretty good portable video player.

3/ Game development for the PSP is much harder than for the DS. The financials don't work out as well, it has a much lower install base, plenty of evidence to show that games don't sell well on it, and its most costly to develop for.

...
Add all those factors up, and you get a compelling picture of why there is no PSP software in the top 50 on a weekly basis.

well, I have am playing Jeanne d'arc and Brave Story at the moment.

But I do have a backlog to go through. I have around 14 games.

@shams: Piracy would be rampant... if there where lots great games to pirate. I know the PSP has some great games but unlike the DS the PSP offers no different experiance than a PS2. I´ve tried out lots of different PSP games, the only one I found had it´s own value was Loco Roco, all the others where just the same as on a home console but had worse controlls due to one analog stick missing. Thats why I only use it as a video player and to emulate my old SNES games. I love the thing a lot but will not buy games that are almost only ports. The DS games have a very own appeal and offer a genuine experiance. The PSP lacks this, which is one reason the hombrew comunity is so big.

People only complain about piracy when a system isn´t doing so well, the PS2 is the most pirated system ever... because it is so insanely popular. The DS is much easier to pirate than the PSP IMO but it´s sold to a large demographic while the PSP is more for tech fans and teens who all know more abnout this stuff. The 360 is easy to pirate as well, still the attach rates are better than the PS3s which can´t be pirated yet.

I like the PSP a lot because it fitts my needs, but for most people it´s just a portabel PS2 with less games. Sony might have thought this combined with the media capabilites would have been enough, what it was missing all along was new games that made people interested in it. When the average gamer sees the PSP game lineup he/she will thin: "Seen this done that." Had Sony invested in some new Ips and made the PSP experiance more genuine it would be selling much more sofware IMO.

My PSP is playing Dust Collector 2007! I'm too busy with my DS to bother taking it out of it's case. I think this comic sums up my thoughts nicely:

I played the demo of Jeanne D'Arc and I'm trying to debate if I am willing to sink 30-40 hours into that SRPG. It was fun.
