Ubisoft urges Sony to act on 'directionless' PSP
Ubisoft urges Sony to act on 'directionless' PSP
Gamesindustry - June 5, 2008
Submitted by mrahaju (9) at 2:02AM PST on June 5, 2008
UK managing director Rob Cooper has said that the format lacks direction, with Sony unsure of how to market a machine he sees as over-priced and too technical for the mainstream consumer.
Cooper doesn't think it's an issue with software pricing, rather Sony hasn't communicated to publishers clearly what direction the machine is going to take in the future.
Ubisoft has no games planned for the PSP this year, but Cooper insists the format still has potential.

This is a primary example of Ubisoft mismanagement in the form of "No Action Talk Only".
His talk is "format still has potential", while is action is "no games planned for PSP this year".
Rob Cooper, please don't make any comment without providing the necessary "action" that jibe with your words.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

sigh. it's a shame really since i would have loved to play a proper Assassin's Creed on the PSP. and even the upcoming Prince of Persia. or a port of the original beyond good and evil to coincide with the release of beyond good and evil 2... sigh...[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 148 ]bids

but to counter your statement, i feel like ubisoft has a reason not to take action in that games in general just don't sell on the psp. it's understandable that they don't want to devote resources to making psp games when there's no return on investment.
