Over 50% of 2009 PSP Titles Remain Unannounced

Rock Band Unplugged, LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm are a few of the big PSP releases for 2009 recently announced, but as much of 50-60% of the handheld’s lineup for just this year still remains a secret, Sony Computer Entertainment America’s director of hardware marketing John Koller told GameSpot in an interview today.
“The many announcements we made on the software side for PSP were inclusive of that tremendous sales growth that we’ve seen on PSP,” said Koller. “But they were also representative of the fact that we went out and talked to publishers about what sells best on PSP and how to craft their business model accordingly. Many of them had taken a bit of a scattershot approach and done a lot of ports and titles that just weren’t going to sell very well on PSP.”
Koller claims PSP games in 2009 and beyond will not suffer from the same issues as they did in the past, and we’ll start to hear more about the other half of the PSP’s still unrevealed software lineup starting at E3 in June.
“There’s a lot of announcements coming up to E3 and particularly at E3,” Koller told GameSpot. “There’s probably 50-60 percent of the lineup for the year that has not been announced and there’s some big titles coming. So there’s a lot of excitement on PSP.”

Nice. Recently bought a 3000 for resistance and pick up some other games as well. I probably won’t have a huge collection put i’ll have what I want to play. I hope psp 2 does get announced. I wonder if they could somehow make it with two analog sticks and ps2 graphics with a 5GB HDD.
