“They could bring out a PSP Lite” – Climax on Sony
The last big thing we heard from Climax Studio is that they were readying themselves for next-gen. With great titles like MotoGP and ATV Offroad Fury already under their belt, it seems that Climax is indeed prepared for the challenge. Before totally focusing on its new endeavor, CEO Karl Jeffery has a few words on Sony about its revolutionary handheld.
“To be honest and frank about it, we worry about the future of the PSP,” boldly stated Jeffery. He then went on with a rather lengthy but meaningful statement: “In terms of sales of the actual units, it’s not doing so great. The DS is going gangbusters, the sales volumes are going up exponentially. But the PSP worries us, because we’re sitting here thinking about what Sony is going to do to get the platform back on track and we’re not hearing much from them.”
Furthermore, Jeffery’s statements were not thrown blindly as he suggests possible solutions for Sony. Basically, everything Jeffery would like to happen boils down to two things: redesign the handheld to create a more ergonomically appealing unit and develop a serious digital download content strategy. The CEO even went further commenting on why can’t Sony come up with a “PSP Lite.”
At one point, Jeffery’s mood switch to being serious when asked whether publishers would soon abandon the system. “That’s my instinct, yes. Maybe Sony has got something planned, but at the moment it’s very worrying. It’s probably the platform we’re most worried about,” Jeffery lamented.
Well, we know we all love the PSP, but mostly the source of that lovin’ is its broad homebrew possibilities. The very same thing Sony’s trying to block. Oh well…
