This is sad, but true. If Final Fantasy or any other REALLY popular game was released earlier the PSP might've had a chance. Too bad.

It's all about the games. As long as developers are too afraid to make compelling original IP's on the PSP it will remain under-utilized.
I'm not saying it's dead, largely because at this point if the devs started kicking out good games it'd be back quicker than you think.
I will though say the PSP is in a coma....and until it shows it's not braindead we're soon to pull the cord.

» I agree sort of
I dont know if its failed or failing that cant be said for sure yet. But i do agree that homebrew would probably not of been as big if it was for more top notch titles. Though, that cant be something to be sure of either. I just hope that when sony does prepare for "the final countdown" they release the official SDK and come out with a firmware that allows for freely upgrading downgrading and homebrew.

Sony has all its "attention on PS3" not on the PSP so the PSP sucks right now but will get better.
Yet Nintendo has all its attention on the Wii and DS games rock right now and will only get better.
PSP is losing steam right now and it will take a pretty good jolt to revive itself.

» Gamesradar should GTFO teh internets
if u check gamesradar, they are known for posting fraudulent claims that gets deleted after they were embarassingly proven wrong. no need to worry what they think. the company that they quoted only made 1 psp game. Try asking Rockstar Games and see if they think the psp is a failure. LOL!

Because we still have homebrew.
As far a Sony is concerned, it has.

What the ***** was shown for DS that was even remotely interesting? Pheonix Wright? LOL, yeah right. The fact is that PSP gets more and more good games then DS, even if DS is selling more then it. Podcast phails.

I don't think that the PSP failing. The PSP still has the popular franchises like GTA, MGS, FFVII, Socom, and others still coming out. If the devs are thinking that the PSP has failed, maybe they should start tying to make new original IP's that can get people to start playing the PSP. The DS had all thier attention last year up untill Spring of this year, but since Summer I haven't been playing my DS. The PSP will get their attention this holiday season when all thoes popular franchises come out.

Yes, it's true that there are some good games still on the horizon for the PSP. But, you can't really consider a GTA or a SOCOM game exactly "original". Just like the article said, it's the few games like these that already hold a loyal audience that have been successful on the PSP. Other than the typical EA Sports and GTA installments, I've found very little to get excited about in the PSP's future. And I must admit that, without homebrew, my PSP would see a LOT less usage. I don't see the PSP outright "dieing" anytime soon, but I wouldn't be surprised if development for PSP is scaled back (and since it's not that great to begin with, that could be a problem!) as focus is shifted to the next gen consoles.

» U fail Developers
OH god, the only way a psp could ever fail is the developers. They make *****ty games and never really add more times to making it and fixing glitches. Why dont you guys fix some glitches from Prince of Persia, or Glitches from Syphon Filter Dark Mirror. I could see those black hole glitches.
Even if there is homebrews on the PSP, look at the PS2. It have homebrews and its lasting. Its the games that the developers make that make a console good.
Well copy games, you see alot of PSP copy games being traded, Look at the HD loader, People could rip ps2 game on the Hard drive and play them and return them from blockbuster or what not. So it not really a console/handheld, thats the problem, its the *****ty developers.

We still have quite a few game on the horizon. Call of Duty 3, Medal of Honor (see you there), gta vice city, ftb2, MGS, and Final Fantasy. I see a beginning, not an end.

You brought up another great point. I'm not sure how many games I've bought for the PSP that have had glitches, but...... wait, ALL of them do! This has been a huge problem since day one, and hasn't been fixed after this long.
For example, even the EA Sports games released for the PSP are riddled with glitches. If anyone's ever played EITHER of the Madden releases, you know that you can find a significant glitch within 5 minutes of playing a game. And that goes for about every other game that's come out for the PSP. I understand that bugs are all something we have to deal with when it comes to video games, but for some reason, the PSP tends to be especially bad with games that feature obvious and catastrophic bugs.
I'm not sure if it has to do with the way the PSP is developed, or if it's just the pure laziness of the developers themselves, but something needs to be done to catch such buggy games before release. And if this means that Sony scupulously test each game through and through weeks before release, so be it. It may very well save their little handheld system, and at this point, that's much more important than rushing a game to release.

All my psp is used for is emulation... thats it - most of the games are uninteresting as the devs decide to make cheaply made crap. (I'll point at EA for a global player in for that). There are some good games, (lumines, OR2006, etc), but once youve got them 5 games thats it.

» well,
yeah, the PSP certainly has been screwed upthe poop-shoot. with all the downgraders, and not to mention DevHook, piracy on the PSP is higher than ever now.
there will continue to be less and less games for the PSP because of that. eventually, it will probably turn into just a hobbiest thing. only people making homebrew for it will be interested.
sorry for bad spelling
