Now that Sony is jumping on the download-only train, it’ll have to have some tracks to go on. Those tracks are filled with full games being developed by studios, not just large and small games, but “snackable” games. As small as 20MB.
Why would the PlayStation Store need a new section for these smaller titles? Because with Apple’s App Store, selling most games for $0.99 is too much of a decline from the $10-$20 for PSP games. It will mostly be tailored for the PSPGo, but will also be available via the PS3.
“It is still a professional environment, you still need a development kit and you still need to have investment and a team,” he told the site. “But it can be a small team. We don’t see any of the restrictions on the disc-based space being in this space.”
Already 50 stuidos have been confirmed to be working on apps and small games right now.
Sony is really taking some leaps and bounds with the PSP as of late, let’s just hope this renewed energy hype and willingness to keep it going will work and the PSP/PSPGo will be successful.
