Eurogamer: Turning to the PSP, the hardware is selling very well, but would you agree there's still a software issue? That third-parties just aren't producing the games?
Shuhei Yoshida: I would recommend you spend time walking around the show floor at this TGS. What I've found very encouraging is, Japanese publishers are putting serious effort and money into producing games for PSP. More and more, it's the choice platform for the large IPs.
This is really thanks to the success of Capcom's Monster Hunter games and the enormous amount of people playing PSP in Japan. Publishers saw that happen, and with the PSP's capabilities, many of their franchises are perfect for the PSP platform.
These games will come out in the US and Europe as well. That will attract more people, and I hope these trends in Japan will inspire US and European publishers to look seriously at their IPs, and how they can take advantages of the PSP. Some games, like sports and racing titles, are perfect for PSP. You can barely do any better than PSP for playing these types of game.
