Sony hates music games: no Traxion or Frequency?

IGN's David Doel recently had a conversation with Harmonix, the development team behind games like Frequency and Guitar Hero. The team proposed a sequel to the fan-favorite Frequency and Amplitude for the PSP, however Sony declined their request. The music game would've been well suited for the PSP, as the excellent gameplay of other music games, like Gitaroo-Man, show.

However, to add insult to injury, it appears that the other music game heading to the PSP, Traxion, has also been canned. This music game from LucasArts was supposed to allow players to import their own songs into the game, a "Frequency-killer," as reported by IGN's nixice. He didn't give a reason, but it's sad to see that the music genre seems to be so neglected on our handheld.

And again....

Why the F*ck is the PSP™ dyeing again?!?
WTF is wrong with those Idiots @ S0NY®™, do they really want to kill off the PSP™?!

It would seem to me that it would be logical to want to support anything that could ~possibly~
sell, and I see no reasion.
Well beside the "American (Poop) Idol" Crap, that passes for Music on Mtv.
But, that's besides the point!

Any game should be "allowed" to be made for the psp (or any console for that matter). The picky-ness of sony has been one of the major downfalls and will continue to be a problem until the cease with their lack of imagination.

Then why do we have Lumines I&II, Gitarooman, and Every Extend Extra? How are these games any different really?

music "games" are dumb anyway. though denying developers the chance to make more games is also dumb. how about someone makes a proper sequencer for the PSP instead though?

oh wait, there's psp-rhythm, it's free, and the developers actually listen to the users....

I think she just likes stuff like that for the unlockable videos and songs she knows.
And if I TOLD her to learn to program music, she'd TELL me to **** OFF.
