Sunday Comics: Dead Island The PSP really seems to on a role of late, doesn’t it? Don’t fret! Sony says that’s not going to stop anytime soon. According to Sony marketing manager John Koller, later this year the PSP will see some “very unique” titles with a focus on “franchise umbrellas”. That’s not including Final Fantasy: Crisis Core and Secret Agent Clank. All hype and hot air? Or does Sony really have some “very unique” in store? PSP Games Coming [PC Advisor]
Squeenix have got this whole advertising thing down pat. They know they don’t need to remind fans that Crisis Core is coming, and they sure as shit aren’t going to attract new customers to the franchise with a game like this. So instead, they do what they do best: focus on whipping the converted into a frenzy.
Well would you look at that. New colours and a new Final Fantasy VII game, and the PSP doesn’t just shoot to #1 on the sales charts, it goes ahead and sells more than twice as many units as everything else combined. Who could possibly have guessed it? Well… us! Last week you couldn’t shift your feet (awkwardly, and uncomfortably) on a Japanese train without bumping into somebody playing Crisis Core on their PSP. Or somebody watching the Crisis Core advertisements playing around the clock on their little subway TV displays. Or somebody trying to do both.
