Sony On Why The Playstation Portable Became Old News

Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment's worldwide studios has owned up to the fact that the PSP's early years were troubled. He has, however, avoided engaging with the fact that the PSP Go's were a disaster.

"We looked back on PSP, what we did right and what we didn't do right with the platform. We were too happy with ourselves, having a PS2-like experience on a portable at that time. We didn't go too much further from there", he tells Kotaku.

"The initial couple years were great. People were excited to be able to play 3D graphics on the go, but after a couple years, people get used to looking at pretty pictures."

But things get worse, "When you compare the gaming experience on PSP to what you get on PlayStation 2 and later on PS3, because of the bigger screen on the TV and the dual analog sticks, [players] feel compromised playing on PSP. You're not getting much unique on the PSP."
