In Pocketgamer’s interview with SCEE’s, Vice President of Publishing and Developer Relationships Zeno Colaço, Sony has a long-term plan for the PSP, he says.

Despite the current lack of games claimed by developers and gamers on the PSP, it will be hard to fill up the space left by publishers if they refocus their interest on other segments of the game market.

Zeno Colaço has one idea to solve it.

We need to revitalise the developer community to get behind PSP. For example, it’s easy to make a DS-type game for a PSP game in terms of cost and speed of development and we will be looking to do encourage that as we continue to develop the PSP. I’m not just talking about the hardware but the services and the business models and the support, too.

This is an idea that might become apparent over the next two years as the network services are further developed.

Despite the current slow down in titels the PSP still has a good tie-ratio. With four games to each PSP with 35 million units sold worldwide.
