Why dont they convert PSP game to the PS2

The PS2 has better hardware than the PSP, so I dont know why the developers dont make a PS2 version of the PSP game to make more profit like they do with the PS3 and the XBOX360.If so we gamers will have more game for the PS2.Only few games have been converted(Ratchet Clank...) , I wonders if they will convert the GOW:Chain of Olympus or FF7:Crisis core to the PS2 ?????

They did with the GTA: Stories games. I think Sony won't do it because they're trying to get people to buy the PSP.

I agree with LoserMike...The GTA games were an exception only due to excessive demand, and the fact that the PS2 was, for the most part, still the most popular console. Now, I think Sony would rather take a hit in game sales if it means 100,000 people will buy a PSP to play a PSP exclusive game. I bought one myself for FFVII:CC...although funny thing is, I bought a pre-owned one, and the retailer evidently had tested it with FFVII:CC in it...and kindly left it there for me! Free Crisis Core!

I understand you, but what about the other developers(Square Enix,Capcom...) they dont need to care about Sony could sell more PSP or not, and they they could make more profit,especially PS2 is the most popular console

^^Do you have a PSP? I don't think Sony would port alot pf PSP games due to the fact they want the PSP to sell.

Becuase that would make sense

Some of the games that have been ported from the psp to the ps2 look terrible (consider screen size) and controls can be funky since based on psp controls. Probably takes effort to make a good port,

people need to stop being so cheap. If you want a game on a specific system you buy that specific system, end of story.

It's not worth Sony's money to pump more ideas into a failing project like the PSP.gamesock

in all honesty, it would probably be better for Sony to have PS2 games ported to the PSP.

reason is that it would increase the sales of the PSP (can you imagine FF10 or GTA San Andreas on the PSP :D ).

even if it meant PS2 sales would go down, the PS2 is likely to be discontinued in 1-2 years, but Sony seems to want to keep the PSP for a while.

I don't know. But it's like asking Nintendo to port Gameboy games to their N64 or the DS titles to the Wii.

[QUOTE="sofaking_bob"] umm... i believe that it is quite debatable that your statement about wii-controller functionality with GameCube ports is really a good comparison for psp to ps2 ports as a psp is essentially a ps2 controller with a screen in the middle and sans the r2 and l2 buttons and made more portable. with that, the only functionality that you gain is that you can play it at home on your tv, which you can already do if you have an hdtv and a 2000 model psp and the appropriate wire, whereas the wii-controller functionality gives you not only the option to play the same way you played a game on the GameCube, but also gives you the option to use new technology to get a different experience from the same game.Irick_cb

I guess they could port over some of the better PSP games GTA liberty city stories, Twisted metal head on, and Syphon filter dark mirror has been reverse ported from PSP to PS2. If you have the PSP 2000 or PSP 3000 they have the hook up cables to play PSP games on the Television.

sometimes you feel like a nut? sometimes you don't? i think i might have multiple personalities.sofaking_bob

Yeah i've been there.... Several times.... BTW, don't insult Hideo's studios' textureing and we'll be alright :)
