PSP Minis Lack Network Capability

In this video, I share my thoughts on Sony's decision to nerf PSP mini games. The PSP go was announced at E3 and it was also announced the mini games would be available. This mini games would be similar to iPhone games and would be a direct competitor. Sony went on record to state that they wouldn't include network connectivity in PSP mini games to "accelerate approval time" For more on this topic visit here: http://j.mp/3wuvn0

They're called minis for a reason genius. They are games that are made available for cheap, testing and including online multiplayer would cause the game to increase in price. You see how pissed people are at the price of Tetris, if it had online multiplayer, it could have easily been posted for $14.99 instead of the $9.99 it's going for now. Use your head man.

These minis are going to compete with iPhone/iPod Touch games which have network capability. They are competitively priced around $10 as well. I do use my head, and you can stop with the snide remarks.

you can not compare the iphone to a game console, the psp is far more powerful than any iphone

[iobuffa]

You couldn't be more wrong :)

I don't really think the minis need network capabilities

[iobuffa]

If they want to compete with the iPhone, I think they do.

the thing is that you can download the minis on psp 1000-3000 without needing a big memory stick.if you add internet capabilities, it would add a lot more memory...just my thought of the reason for that

You confuse Sony's competition of the iPhone/iPod Touch with dominance, Sony learned it's leason when they made the claim the PSP would be an iPod killer in the first place. They're not looking to take over the maket of "mini" games I guess you could call it, they just want a piece of the pie. They cant do that if they are charging $9.99 at least, for every mini with online multiplayer. People are passing up Tetris, a great game, because of the $9.99 price tag.
