Screen Play has written before about the dismal view many publishers have had about the PSP's future, but publishing executives at last week's Games Developers Conference were much more upbeat about Sony's portable powerhouse.
Tom Crago, CEO of Tantalus and President of the Game Developers' Association of Australia, told Tuesday night's fascinating Dissecta session in Melbourne that many publishers have changed from predicting PSP's death because of its slow software tie-ratio to now being eager to hear pitches from developers and green-light more PSP games.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
