Could The PSP Gain Trophy Support?

10
Ever since the PS3 integrated Trophy support into its firmware with version 2.40, people have been keeping an eye on Sony's other platform: the PSP. It isn't hard to believe that people have been looking for Trophy support to move onto the PSP - it's proven a great success on the handheld's big daddy, the PS3, and taken plenty of cues from the highly addictive Achievement system created on XBox Live. While everything mentioned here is but speculation, Infinite-Bits believes there is enough evidence to favor the idea of trophies coming to the PSP in the near future.

i think it will come in the future. its a good buisness decision when you think about it. The Trohpies/Achievement system has been already proven that people will buy games and keep these game longer for Trophy/achievement whoring.

Well it already has the PSN store. I guess maybe when the PSP2 shows up Sony would add it. Buy they should do as the 360 and make it mandatory right in the beginning this time around.

Yeah, if the PSP2 rumor is true and it's coming out later this year, having devs getting used to the idea of trophies right now would be a good idea. The article lists a good number of newer PSP games that support some kind of trophies/achievements too. Guess we'll see...

It's not about 'could' but 'when'.

Some Sony official said late last year that trophy support was being looked at for the PSP.

Since Sony are tying to make the PSP/PS3 more compatible, trophy support would easily be one of those ideas.

I agree with you completely. I believe those are some of the very reasons I put on the table in the article =)

I reckon it's far too late to add trophy support for the PSP. It's similar to adding trophy support to PS2 games. There's less and less PSP games coming out each month. Until Sony makes their next handheld (assuming of course they're still going to make a PSP2 or something) there is no point.

Not many developers will add trophy support to games made before the PS3 2.40 patch.

That is not to say I wouldn't like PSP trophy support.
