Karl Jeffery, the CEO of Climax (developer of ATV Offroad Fury), has made known his worries surrounding the current performance of the PSP. He is worried that the Nintendo DS is trouncing the PSP and that Sony is doing very little to rectify this situation. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Jeffery said,
“To be honest and frank about it we worry about the future of the PSP,”
He believes that Sony has two main ways of fixing this situation, either designing a more ergonomic version with improved battery life, similar to the Nintendo DS lite, or going further into downloadable content.
Whatever Sony decides to do in the future is uncertain, at the moment Jeffery does not feel that they are doing enough. When asked whether he thought publishers would start to abandon the format, he said “yes, It’s probably the platform we’re most worried about”.

1PSP has no games and is being abandoned by Sony for PS3. DS kills PSP in terms of games and price. All Sony has to do is lower the price, add more colors, and focus in the games and not the downloadable, multi-media functions becuase UMDs have fallen and anyone who was interested in the multi-media functions of the PSP has already bought it. I only look forward to Crises Core on the PSP and I have a feeling that it will eventually get ported to the PS2.
