Forums - Sony - Sony: Big E3 for the PSP, 50-60% of lineup for the year not yet announced

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6207289.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1

 

GS: So is the PSP's increasing market share one of the reasons behind last month's flurry of PSP software announcements?

JK: Well, it's certainly related to this announcement. Corporately from a financial standpoint, the PSP has been a high-growth, high-margin product for us. It has, as I mentioned, allowed the PS2 price to drop, and we've had some flexibility.

The many announcements we made on the software side for PSP were inclusive of that tremendous sales growth that we've seen on PSP. But they were also representative of the fact that we went out and talked to publishers about what sells best on PSP and how to craft their business model accordingly. Many of them had taken a bit of a scattershot approach and done a lot of ports and titles that just weren't going to sell very well on PSP. And we had looked at the success we've been having on first-party and said, "Let's make sure we share a little bit here." That's where the publishers were able to launch what you've seen so far, although there's a lot more to come on PSP.

 

GS: Oh, yeah? Can we expect some major announcements on that relatively soon?

JK: There's a lot of announcements coming up to E3 and particularly at E3. [Emphasis added.] There's probably 50-60 percent of the lineup for the year that has not been announced and there's some big titles coming. So there's a lot of excitement on PSP.



Around the Network

Hasn't there already been like 10 or so new PSP games announced for this year? So if only 50% have been announced then doesn't that mean that there will be like 20 new games coming out for the PSP this year. Looks like I will have to bust out my PSP and open my wallet even further this year.

So the likes of Motorstorm, Rock Band, Jak and Daxter, Persona Remake, Army of Two, Dissidia, Tales of Versus, Silent Hill, Ghostbusters, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Little Big Planet, Assasin's Creed...are just the beginning?

 

I can't wait to see what's in that 50-60% of unannouced PSP 2009 games.

 

And nice to see Sony will make this 'BIG E3 FOR PSP.'

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

hopefully its not shovelware



Please God don't make this an exaggeration. I love my PSP!
