Third-party support is essential for the life span of any gaming product, so when you have a major publisher such as Electronic Arts calling you out, you better listen. EA executive VP and COO of worldwide studios David Gardner recently told MCV that Sony better get their act together with the PSP.
"I don't think Sony can afford to sit back. I think they still have things they can do with the price and performance of the machine-- things that they need to address."
Gardner points to the success of the DS as being about fun and accessibility, not about pure technical supremacy.
"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. ... EA is putting more effort behind DS games -- and creative ones that really take advantage of the hardware."
And so, the bad press train keeps rolling for Sony.
