"You can wait for it and you can have it in good quality, you know you can get the stuff from Bittorrent if you want to and download PSP games, it's up to you."

Ugh. Come on, the PSP is dying because of piracy. Software sales have been on life support. :(

That was a very innapropiate comment... All my friends play downloaded isos on their PsPs im the only one who still has a little of respect for Sony... and I only have 3 Psp games thus far MGS po, Crisis Core and Prince of persia two thrones all other games I've played were borrowed from others ;D... The Psp has an incredibly low attache ratio and Horrible piracy issues how could a sony executive say such a thing?

Edited to add a picture...? One could presume that you believe in the popular forum myth that goes "nobody will read the first post on your thread unless you put a picture".

I replied to your thread before it has that picture of a Psp n_n

I've had a psp for a month and I already have more games than you. I have Patapon, Daxter, Burnout Legends, and Disgaea. I still have yet to get Crisis Core and MGS: PO. Weird. :P

Pirates were never a customer to begin with. He's just basically saying "whatever, we don't care" to pirates, as it should be, and instead focus resources on making the system more worthwhile for those of us that keep things legit to get our moneys worth.

There's a ton, but I'm surely not listing 'em all. It's definitely kept my JRPG gaming side alive this gen.

Just more proof that PSP is dead. Sony are trying to sell off the remaining hardware.

God of War: Chains of Olympus and FF: Crisis Core are about the only good games out right now.

Daxter, final fantasy tactics, echochrome, patapon, crush, metal gear games, some awesome RPGs and so on.

So you see there are more then 2.

While that was a incredibly stupid comment to make he actually doesn't say to go and do it. He just says that it's out there on bitTorrent and possible.

Yea i kinda reported this in last week.

Anyways, i would assume he was being sarcastic?

I still think he should have said that you could always IMPORT a game instead of going to bittorrent.

It's kind of sad how bad the PSP is doing in software sales. It's not just because of pirates either, as IGN reminded us with their PSP game of the month...

You can say that about the PS3, but with the PSP, you're dead wrong, I don't get it, people in System Wars claim to be "hardcore gamers" but they can't see that the PSP has really good games. Chains of Olympus, Crisis Core, Vice City Stories, Papaton, and MGS: PO just to name a few.

I don't think you can say that about any system.

Indeed a whole freaking month and not a single release. Usually it should get those crappy movie tie-ins.

First of all, hes probably getting fired and I think he was TRYING to say "You can get the game in good quality and wait for it to come out, or you can get a crappy bittorrent version. Its your choice." Though he failed at saying that way(or just misquoted) in any case is ass is in trouble

"You can wait for it and you can have it in good quality, you know you can get the stuff from Bittorrent if you want to and download PSP games, it's up to you."

BioShockOwnz

What a favor he did for software developers of the PSP. Imagine investing thousands and thousands of dollars on a PSP game only to have this twit tell everyone it's ok to steal it. They should sue.
