The PSP may finally be getting a good run of games with title like Beaterator, LittleBigPlanet and GTA Chinatown Wars but it wasn’t always the case. Now Sony’s bosses have revealed just why it’s handheld took so long to take off. Read on to find out why…

According to Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida say the Playstation 3 is to blame for the slow trickle of titles for the PSP.

“A couple of years ago we clearly put too much focus on PS3 titles,” says Yoshida. “It caused a lack of support for the PSP last year. We need to be focused and gear a lot of our resources back to the PSP. We have many titles this year.”

With the PSP Go now offering over 16,000 downloadable extras and more games on the way, it seems clear that Sony has changed its focus.

Yoshida also explained that although Sony didn’t announce new titles at the Tokyo Game Show, it is preparing to announce new titles. We’ll keep our eyes peeled and get you all the details.

Sony could make a thousand new games but doesn't change the fact they just not good at working with other developers to keep them making games, that's where Microsoft and Nintendo have the edge over them.
