The PSP industry will die.

In about 2 to 3 years time, SONY will abandon its Playstation Portable in favor of other consoles.

Why? I'll tell you.

1. In about 100 PSP owners, only 5 (maybe less) of them actually buys UMDs.
2. Game developers are thinking of switching to consoles that are less "hacked".
3. Less game developers means less games.

Game developers and console makers work together to bring us good games and quality consoles. But, they also need profits! If game developers see their games being copied as ISOs and CSOs and shared for free, they'll probably shift to other consoles that will bring them results (profits).

I know, I know. UMDs are way overpriced! Specially here in the Philippines.
If SONY could somehow release cheap UMDs here, many would buy.
You may opt to buy second hand UMDs though. Today, prices range from P300 - P700 at Quiapo.


If you love a certain PSP game, please consider buying its UMD. You'll encourage its developer to create more games for the PSP.
