EA: DS great, PSP not so much
You know what they say, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. We kid, we kid, we love those guys over at PSP Fanboy and thank them for this latest nugget of news.
Recently, EA executive VP and COO of worldwide studios David Gardner slammed the PSP, citing that Sony has some serious issues they need to address in regards to the platform. Admitting that his company has backed the PSP more in the past, he now claims that they will invest more effort into putting games out for the DS.
"There's no doubt that EA has historically bet more on PSP. I think we were excited by the technology, but the consumers have proven that actually what they want is fun. We must never forget that what we need to focus on is fun and so EA is putting more effort behind DS games – and creative ones that really take advantage of the hardware."
Ouch. It's no wonder that the company is going this route, being one of the handheld's biggest porters supporters. With all of its major sports and non-sports franchises gracing the system, the company has undoubtedly taken huge losses due to lackluster sales. Hopefully the company will keep Gardener's word and not look to just port everything over to the DS as it did with the PSP, stripped of all features.
