Are People Getting Sick Of Pirating PSP Games?

Speaking with MTV, Sony's John Koller has revealed that PSP piracy - long the source of Sony's wrath when it comes to the handheld - is on the decline.

We’ve made really no secret [that there] certainly has been some piracy on the PSP. We’ve seen that as a significant issue — it’s trending down right now, we’ve seen the piracy not be as such prevalent in the last month to two months. But it has been a problem for us.

It probably helps there hasn't been anything worth pirating on the PSP in the last month or two (to twelve?) months, but hey, let's not rain on Sony's parade.

Yep, sad to say, but I think most of the PSP community are just sick of the PSP full stop.

I mean piracy of C64 and Amiga games would be onthe decline too :D

Why bother pirating PSP games when I can pirate PS1 games, which offer the same entertainment value (and in some cases more entertainment value) for less space on the memory card?

People usually purchase Nintendo DS systems for their games and purchase PSP systems for the novelty of hacking them and doing things they are not allowed to do.

I know exactly what the problem is... it's the quality of games

There's not enough platformers, everything is in 3D

If they remade 16 bit games or even made more 2D games I GUARANTEE you the PSP would be way more popular. Half these games suck cuz they focus on the graphics too much and it takes up all the space. We need better gameplay and better games. Imagine if they made a Streets of Rage game in 2D or a Megaman game on the PSP, it would be sick cuz the 2D graphics wouldnt take up all that space and they could make the game long enough for everyone to enjoy. These crappy 3D games need to stop, time to go back to the basics

they made Megaman games already, a port of X entitled Megaman Maverick Hunter X and some other chibi MM game. they were really fun.
