"Since the announcement of the PlayStation 3 Slim and the $100 price drop, Sony has been riding a wave of good news. Sales have been increasing for the platform worldwide, the marketing for the system appears to have hit its stride and interest for the system, as a whole, is better than it has ever been. Yet, with all the recent optimism for the PS3, not all is well within the PlayStation family. In particular, there is an interesting dichotomy between the two mainstays within the PlayStation brand: the PS3 and PSP. As the Sony's premier home console rises from years of glum outlook, the PSP, even with the forthcoming release of the PSP Go, is still facing a number of challenges."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
PSP is doing just fine, it even has 52 million sold so far. The only thing not fine is the piracy which has crippled it since nearly the start.
"Too little too late" anyone?
Many articles BEFORE the slim/price cut were predicting the inevitable doom of the PS3, LOL. They were proven wrong.
Sony is pushing the PSP a lot, on octuber 1 the PSPgo will be launched. New games are coming, minis are coming.
Mature gamers need a successful mature portable platform. I'm sure pspgo/psp will do very well.
