60We all moan about the weekly Store updates, especially us Europeans, but now we’ve got hard evidence that the number of PS3-based games on the Store is actually decreasing, or at least has done for the last 18 months.
According to a report on GamaSutra this afternoon, the number of PS3 specific games (like fl0w, Warhawk etc) has dropped from 14 every 6 months to just 8, with the number of PS1 re-releases also falling from 12 in the first half of 2007 to just 4 in the last six months.
Despite high value, high quality games like Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and the aforementioned Warhawk, this is a worrying trend, with only PSP-specific downloads on the increase. Read the full report for more statistics, and then look forward to see what the Store has lined up for us for the remainder of this year…
