Portable Software to Soar?

Posted Mar 21, 2006 at 7:21AM EST by QJ Staff

Video Game Journal's clairvoyant analysts Jason Fraft and Chris Kwak have pulled out their runes, tea leaves, and crystal balls and made some predictions as to what some game publishers can expect to rake in over the next 4 years. According to the future-telling skills of Fraft and Kwak, "portable software revenue could grow over 140%".
Some of this is thanks to the prominence of the PSP and DS on the market, and the fact that these games (especially on the PSP side) are so darned expensive. All is not peachy for the PSP though, "PSP sales could take a hit when PS3 and Nintendo Revolution launch. Sony will need to make PSP an extension of the PS2/PS3; otherwise, the PSP will be another console-like device and Sony risks cannibalizing PSP with the PS3."

The PS3 might want to have some Tums on hand for that meal...

Sony needs to allow a developers sdk if they want to see that happen. If the system doesn't have anything worthy of using then no one is going to want it. Thankfully we have people researching the psp and developing our own sdk to accomplish what sony could do.

Nds is selling twice as much every where in the world and is much more apealing to gamerz the psp. stop making it sound like its all psp because i wouldent evevn be suprised if psp falls out and gos out of buisness because of low sell befor revoultion and playstation 3 is even released.

It's sold more than the X360 so far (but that's M$ fault). And in the USA, PSP has sold more than DS. But in Japan, DS reigns.

DigitalFx, Sony does have sdk's that they sell tod evelopers Im not shure what you mean. Are you trying to say sony needs to give it to the homebrew community cause that would be suacide, and the psp isnt an official open source console like the gpx, if hom,ebrew had the same acces to its technology than developers who get paid to make games than they would have no reason to make games for it anymore as people would just make their own free versions and the psp would cease to be developed for and become anothe ggpx strictly homebrew.

nintendo ds is the fastest selling console of all time, it also beats the xbox360 and will probably beat the revolution and ps3 as well. Just because the psp isnt selling that much doesnt make it any less of an accomplishment esp sicne they are the new kids on the block. the opsp is the fastest selling sony console of all time selling mroe than the ps1/2 in 14 months.

Could you please stop arguing over which handheld is better! I have got both, and like them very much. And if anyone on here has got a DS and PSP you will understand that both have there unique qualities.
