I'm really not too sure. On the one hand, I can't believe a game producer would divulge such secret, important information so stupidly and bluntly, and on the other, I can't say I don't believe his story. Maybe it's all just a joke, or maybe it really is a stupid game producer who probably lost his job. :P

no

i think sony is done with handhelds just like sega and others who failed to take nintendos market

they will turn their focus on to the phone market with psp brand name

appearently thats their plans

and even if psp 2 does get announced

it may cost 300-600

look at psp

250 , first ever 250 handheld
and how much further graphically can it go before pulling a ps3

-you know the scoop 600 same battery life due to graphics

etc

i think sony would not do good in my personal opinion i think psp is what shot sony from the thrown

not ps3

dispite selling 50 mill ,

sony spends more time with it then it did with ps3 in 2006-2007

, that cost them

yeah it was $250 when launched but it came with a case, memory stick, earphones, demos and a movie. It was well priced for at that time. And now they haven't failed to compete with Nintendo, take a look at how popular the PSP is in japan and it have great games and less shovelware.

I wouldn't buy it immediately. I'd wait for the library to build. It took me 5 years to finally get a PSP even though I wanted one for all of those 5 years. Takes time.

Can anyone even prove the existence of a PSP 2? Thought not. It's all just rumours and speculation. And if it doesn't come with a UMD drive I won't be buying it.

My friend i don't want to be rude but you're plain wrong. Sony doesn't let developers bombard their system with shovelware. You don't see this on a sony console:

All these are examples of umpcoming garbage listed on Gamestop for the DS and these kind of garbage have been available since the early life of the DS.

What about the Petz series, Beowulf, the Golden Compass, Hannah Montana, etc. I think Sony has the right to refuse publishing, but I don't think they've ever used that, if so, rarely. They want to have more kids games on the system, but most developers develop for the easiest and best-selling system, so we are ending up with more quality than quantity.

It's not always the case of best-selling system. Take a look at the PS2 the best-selling console last gen and ever and it didn't had a mountain of shovelware.

Its also because the ds has a younger audience which will buy shovelware whereas most psp owners would not, speaking in general of course.

heck YES!!! i'm SUPER excited for a PSP2! get the graphics a bit better since they already are on-par with PS2, make it a PS2.5 perhaps, give it a second analog stick/nub and um... i guess good games? i can't really thinkg of anything else to add. i personally like the digital-only way the PDPgo went, i just think SONY could have handled things much better i.e trade-in for existing customer's games and less expensive digital games than their physical counterparts. seriously though, what else could it have possibly done? the PSP2 just needs to get a stronger console and refine what SONY has already done well with it. if it's good, the sales will come.

Are you guys seriously thinking millions of people will spend more than $200 dollars for just more graphics abilities and a second analog stick?

Ok one Hanna Montana, One or two Petz is not the same as 30 Petz, 30 imagines and so on. As for Beowulf and the Golden Compass although they are games that sucks they are MOVIE BASED GAMES that are available for all console including Wii, DS, PSP, PS2, PS3, PC.

Very interesting post. You didnt have to OWN! him like that with your post, but your post was quite informative. Not many stupid cuddly games on the Almighty PSP. As for the PSP 4000, Coolyfett says there is no need to rush it. The current PSP has plenty of life. These thread is going the SW direction and guilty parties will be reported.

I saw worse games than those on the ps2

10 shovelware on a console vs 200 or more is not the same. The current DS have like 50 imagines, 50 petz and so on. While they launch a Hanna Montana game on PSP the DS have a bag full of them. IF YOU WANT I CAN FIND A BUNCH OF EXAMPLES.

"Enter the Dragonfly" was not a great game. It was a disgrace to the series and to gaming in general. Scoring a 2.8 on GameSpot.

As far as I know the first two were not based on any movies. Though cheap movie tie-ins games can certainly qualify as shovelware IMO.

ok look, I've got to set you straight. First off, the games you listed were all on DIFFERENT Sony systems, all the games the other guy listed were on the DS ONLY. Then you add in the fact that Spyro was not shuvelware but a bad title, and you have a terrible comeback post. There were many shuvelware titles released on all consoles, but when you compare these the ps2 vs the wii, guess who has more shuvelware the Wii. the psp vs the DS, DS is the King of Portable Shuvelware. It doesn't mean the PSP doesn't have it, it shows that it doesn't sell well on the PSP because the audience actually understands what they're buying.

"All on DIFFERENT Sony systems"? That's a bit of an exaggeration, since all but the last one was a PS2 title. I added that one only because it shows Sony openly supporting this kind of software.

Shovelware seems to generally be defined as something that is rushed to the market, with little regard for appearance and usability. As buggy as Enter The Dragonfly is, I'd argue that it qualifies.

There's shovelware on any system, there's just some that have it more than others. The PSP has plenty of it, you just have to dig further for it. It's simply that the PSP's userbase is largely comprised of teenagers and adults (because of media and network capabilities), while the Nintendo systems' games tend to be more accessible to younger generations. It has nothing to do with Nintendo or Sony, both companies will rarely ban games unless the material is pornographic or likewise. It has only to do with which system developers choose to develop for, and in the case of shovelware, Sony is getting less of it.
