At the Tokyo Game Show, Sony President, Kaz Hirai has said that the PSP is a key driving force for the growth strategy for overall PlayStation business.

He said that, strong support from users worldwide as well as abundant exciting software line-up including million seller titles from publishers around the world, have resulted in PSP hardware shipment exceeding 26 million units worldwide by June, 2007. SCEI will further enhance its portability and convenience for users along with continuous cost reduction measures to boost the expansion of the PSP platform by:

# Introduce color variations and popular software bundled products to meet the needs of variety of users around the world.
# Offer users new entertainment experiences that are only possible on PSP, by enriching network content and services in addition to introducing unique peripherals such as camera, GPS, and 1SegTV tuner.
# Deploy market oriented strategies in each region.

With PSP, equipped with a powerful CPU and a high resolution large LCD screen for a handheld device, SCEI will further extend the boundaries of game experiences by fully utilising 'Remote Play'. Hirai believes that the combination of PS3 and PSP Remote Play will offer PSP users more exciting and new ways to enjoy rich interactive entertainment content especially of sports, RPG, and shooting.

Now if they could just concentrate on making some better games that take advantage of ‘rich interactive entertainment’ instead of ported PS2 games i'd be much happier…

Sony again completely missing the point of a handheld GAMING machine :wallbash:
