"From a PSP situation we have a wider split of third-party versus first-party than our competitors do, who are very much first-party developers. We've been putting quite a lot of energy behind PS3, now we'll be able to split some of those resources and go back to the PSP to make sure we've got some compelling games coming. As a criticism, yes, perhaps part of that is true. But we have a solution in place."
Obviously, God of War is part of that so-called solution. The localization of Jeanne d'Arc is another good step. However, Sony must do more to satiate our appetite for original games. When will we see some of these new "compelling games" that Maguire speaks of?

How about Final Fantasy VII? That's gonna be a smash-hit when it lands, most likely regardless of reviews.

Well, FFVII isn't made by Sony. This is talking about their increased first-party efforts.

And this time has been put into the psp2. Good luck Sony, they're doing what Microsoft did, with releasing the next gen console early. . .except for Sony it'll be the next gen hand held console.

Well its time allready , I dont have plans for any new consoles ( MAYbe a PS3 or Wii in the future ) , the PSP is my # 1 console at this moment and I want to trash money for it as much as I can , but still I need more titles for this to happen .

Crappin' typo, and early post.
No, it's absurd to say that it's already time. Perhaps some of you are lactating over the idea of a PSP2, this friggin' early into the game, which is disturbing, but okay. However, to say that it is time, is really a friggin' joke. Xbox actually had a decent life-span?! It was fully exploited?!
PSP's maximum potential has yet to face proper commercial exposure, so I'd hardly say that it's time. You can't replace the first-gen unit without even giving it at least a year of titles that highlight its maximum potential and go beyond said potential. The apex of the PSP's library--something that pushes hardware limits--has yet to come.

this would be a great time to start thinking not just of new games, but other ways to take advantage of the PSP's full potential. until they do that why even bother to bring out a PSP2? i'm with kade on this one
