Biggest problem for PSP is piracy

At least according to Sony themselves
Petter Mårtensson 23 February 2010

Sony America's PR boss Rob Dyer has told Industry Gamers that he believes that the biggest problem the PSP has faced is piracy. It seems like no matter what the company does, or whatever updates they release, the pirates are always one step ahead of them.

"I think we had a great line-up last year. The biggest problem that plagued PSP was piracy; we have not been able to slow that down. Publishers, when they put out good games, are not getting the same sales results that they got a few years back. So piracy's been a big issue and we're working on that very diligently to bring about some solutions," Dyer said.

Despite this, Dyer promises some very big announcements for the PSP this year and that we'll see those at GDC, DPS and E3.
