Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment worldwide studios, has told Edge that Sony NGP and PSP will co-exist when the former launches later this year.
The exec said it wouldn't make business sense to kill off the original PSP because the company's currently "struggling to meet" consumer demand for the platform, which launched in late 2004.
Shuhei Yoshida chats with FINAL FANTASY XVI Producer Naoki Yoshida.
PlayStation boss Shuehei Yoshida wants the gaming industry to continue to chase its creative dreams.
Shu I agree but right now Sony themselves are working on more than 5 live service games
He’s been at PlayStation since the beginning, and seen the games industry transform beyond recognition. He talks unlikely successes, AI, and gaming’s future.
Obviously it wont...Just look at the ps2 is still going strong and im sure the same for will go for the psp after the psp2 comes out
@Blaze929 (BELOW)...Could u explain how is dead,last time i checked the psp is still selling millions yearly and bringing in profit.Have u seen the japan charts???? The psp is constantly part of the top 5 every week.
The PS2 still coexists with the PS3, but I'm not sure the PSP has the same staying power. I think Final Fantasy Type-0 will be one of the final pushes for the platform before the NGP takes the limelight. Then again, if the PSP price gets a dramatic price cut it could work. There are quite a lot of cheap titles available.
can't kill what's already dead......
Nope, I love my PSP and still continue buying games for it. Quite a lot coming out this year too.
Don't forget psn have a lot of things for psp
And many games will release on PSP
Final Fantasy Type-0 it enough reason (First Multi UMD game for worldwide)
