EA Tells Sony to Pick it up on PSP! |
Listed in: Interviews, News Tags: EA, GPS, interviews, Sony

It's no surprise to many PSP owners that EA has told Sony to
pick up the performance and delivery of the Playstation Portable. The handheld
was seen as success early on, but after the Nintendo has stolen the thunder
from Sony with the NDSL, they are in their worst position yet. The PSP doesn't
even know what it is from the recent announcements of a camera attachment, GPS
capability and even more non-gaming features. The PSP is not just a gaming
system anymore and as a result - lost some of it's gaming power as a system.
EA's executive VP and COO of worldwide studios, David Gardner, has stated that
Sony needs to address some issues with the PSP immediately if they wish for
EA's support. After seeing the success of the NDS over the PSP, David Gardner
said that "EA is putting more effort behind DS games – and creative
ones that really take advantage of the hardware.” So, with their focus on
the NDS now, will the PSP dig deeper into its grave? That is something that
only Sony can decide as they have been told to address their issues.

Who cares if DS sales 10 million more! Heh even 20 million more. PSP is a huge success. Get over it EA. Maybe by the time you remake madden 2056 you will see this.

And about EA concentrating more on the NDSL, i'd really like to see what games they pull out for it. Imagine what some of the games would look like...i'm not trying to diss the DS, but its not exactly the most graphically advanced handheld system - atleast when compared to the psp.

PSP doesn't really have any gimmicks that actually help it coming into today. All they have is what was mention, sloppy firmware upgrades, and updates persisting to other things than games.

The main thing hurting the PSP is its own lack of innovation. The touch screen on the DS doesn't seem like much, and isn't much of an innovation (PDAs have had them for years) but they managed to make devs think of new ways to play games, and even a few games that are completely new and rely on the touchscreen. I think that's great. PSP's greatest innovation? It plays movies on discs that you can't copy or create, and only those movies. -yawn-

Madden 06 had to be totally replaced with a new disk, NCAA 07 has a running glitch that requires patching, and the load of times games such as Tiger Woods are atrocious.
Sony is delivering in my opinion with some top notch games and a heck of a nice system. EA need to get off their arses and make games that aren't filled with bugs. I love both the PSP and the DS and am having great amounts of fun on my PSP without EA's games.

Also they should focus on making original games on both handheld systems. Also I don't understand how they can say they are putting "more effort behind DS games" if I don't know any decent EA games on the DS. If you compare Need for Speed Most Wanted on the DS and PSP, it sure didn't look like EA was putting "more effort" into the DS version.
I think EA needs to get their act together and focus on their problems.

I don't understand how because the DSL does so well in Japan it is believed that they are killing the PSP. DS had like 5 million unit before the PSP was even released in the US. To be honest the PSP is kicking the DS's ass in the west.
When it comes to software though, unfortunately, too many people pirate games and that's one of the biggest reasons why PSP games fail to continually make it to the top ten of software sales.
Also please note that the site is taking EA's words a bit out of context and stretching the comments made just a tad. For example EA in not way shape or form believe the PSP is a failure.

the same company that Microsoft jumped thrpugh hurdles to get back on Xbox and use xbox live...
same company Sega never got for the dreamcast.
the same companies who yearly Madden game sells insanely well...i mean a PPV special? ESPN is now a part of it...
DS has better online support,i blame Sony and the game publishers,GTA should have been made with online play...
Thq is 3rd and they dropped one of thier best selling games from the ps3 lineup...
anyways to the guy with the "greatest games list" take out all the ports of ps2,snes and other games and see what's left...
and Madden plays great on the DS,Madden 06 was slightly better on the psp,but the touch screen was a pure blessing when it came to picking plays.
you can't blame piracy either,GBA has been emulated on the PC as soon as it was released,the DS is coming along and you can pick up rom carts/ds carts for around the same price as memory sticks to play most of the same emulators and ripped games...

I loved the madden disk problem. I sold my "bad" disk when my new on arrived.
Add to the fact that EA is dropping online support for a lot of it's "old", ie 06 games soon, they need to step it up with online support for those who do buy their remakes.
EA reminds me of hollywood, remaking classics shows into movies. No substance!

Wanna see the PSP go though the roof? Release an SDK to allow homebrew people to make WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WANT for the PSP.
Once they let go of this antiquated concept of copy protection, maybe we can go forward.

The PSP is a portal Play Station with multimedia functions a Playstation has had before, except with the usage of the memory stick..
The DS is one of the revolutionary gaming styles with dual screens, with a touch bad.
That leads to more interactivity with the games, and a lot more fun.
Yeah the PSP has good graphics, but graphics alone doesn't make a game good.
I thought that Sony should've sticked with the PS2.
I liked the PS2 and the games that came out for it.
But the PSP is just a little knock-off on the hand-held section of Nintendo.
EA is decent anyways.
Sure their support may suck sometimes, but their games are great.
You people who are biased against MS and Nintendo just because you're a PS fan are ignorant.

people who say nintendo sucks just cause they r a PSP fan r gay
i have a DS and a PSP
DS has good gameplay becuase of the stylus and the touch p;ad and the mircophone and PSP has amazing grahics becuase they use UMDs instead of carts which dont have as good graphics
