Sony: Euro PSP-3000 bundles may not reach UK
PSP to get new networking features
PSP-3000 dated for Japan, new bundles detailedFrench publisher Ubisoft has said that it is still highly supportive of Sony’s PlayStation Portable system, maintaining its belief that the portable gaming device continues to hold a “unique” place within the market.
Speaking to Gamesindustry.biz, a company spokesperson commented, "By way of further clarifying some recent statements made in the press, Ubisoft wants to reaffirm that it strongly supports the PSP, which holds a unique place in the market, addressing dedicated gamers and offering unprecedented power in a portable console.”
The statement arrives following last week’s comments from Ubisoft’s UK Managing Director, Roy Cooper, who said that Sony is currently “in no mans land,” and called for the platform holder to outline a clearer strategy for the handheld.
Despite these reservations and declining sales in Europe, the PSP continues to thrive in Japan, where it has enjoyed massive success on the back of several high profile software releases including Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Monster Hunter 2nd G.

Thats the thing though, how do you carry that success outside of Japan as well? I mean obviously the games suited for the EU audience as well as some of the key franchises like Crisis Core and some others I can't name off the top of my head.
Another reason I like Ubisoft so much!
What they should do is make games for the PSP for the PSP and not be very bad watered down ports of console games. Look at Syphon Filter DM and LS and GoW CoO. They're great games on the PSP for a good reason.
I wish I had a PSP right now cause Crisis Core is tempting me soo badly. I wish it had come out for the PS3 :)
