"Outside of Sony's own admirable efforts to keep things going, PSP development has dropped off sharply, due no doubt to the fact that piracy on the system runs absolutely rampant. We can understand some developers being leery of shipping a big blockbuster game when it'll just end up zipping through the Interweb Tubes in a matter of hours post-release, but this cautious? Clearly something needs to be done, and we'd hoped that it would come in the form of a new PSP. Alas, we'll just have to make due with Sony's first-party efforts. Like that Resistance game, what was it called again?"
Are they just stupid? The lack of PSP games has nothing to do with piracy, they mentioned nothing of these kind in any other of the presentations and DS piracy is easier and more rampant than PSP piracy yet it has a lot of games, in the PC side, all you need is to download the game (no extra cost) and you get the game yet TONS of game were showed and announced for PC.
I'm just really surprised these editors don't have the intelligence necessary to comprehend the PSP's lack of games has absolutely nothing to do with piracy, for that matter, neither does the PC "apparent" lack of sales and rampant piracy but one step at a time. It's not like the 360 doesn't have piracy (for people with the right chipset, even zero cost piracy), the only platform safe from piracy is the PS3 yet you don't see sales being considerable higher for the PS3 (it's not even on top) or tons of games announced on the PS3 and not on other consoles.
Heck, 90% of posters in GBATemp could work as editors on IGN, this is ridiculous.
