Sony's New Development Strategy For the PSP

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday July 14, 2009 @03:42AM from the progress-is-progress dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Sony is finally responding to the threat posed by the iPhone, and has started aggressively courting developers around the world to work on digitally distributed games for PSP in a bid to grow the amount of software offered on its handheld. And, Develop has revealed, the firm is planning to introduce a streamlined content pipeline for the platform — which includes abolishing concept approval — plus cheaper devkits, shorter quality assurance processes, and very low price points for new games. It hasn't totally abolished the barriers around the platform for homebrew and indie devs, but it's a start."

Oh noes!!!
Some random idiot on Slashdot isn't going to buy a PSP!!! With over 50 million PSPs sold Sony was doing so well, but they didn't convince some fucking fanboy named itchyeyes on Slashdot!!!
No wonder the comments counts on Slashdot stories keeps getting lower and lower and lower.
