PSP “Bollocking Useless”

The Vice President of Codemasters, Gavin Cheshire, has been talking to Edge about the future of the Playstation Portable. He said:

“Well, speaking as a person who bought a PSP, the problem was that I always thought, because it was a better screen than iPod’s, that I’d be doing more with it. But it was such a bollocking useless waste of space; just getting stuff on it was ridiculous. That was its downfall.”

It appears that the dislike for the Sony handheld is not born out of low sales of Codemaster titles but the days of the Codies supporting the device appear to be over.

“Relatively speaking, we didn’t do too badly on F1 PSP,” said Cheshire, “PSP Go’s a lovely device, really smart, but our senior VP bought one the day it came out and has a great story, because he ended up on some customer support line just trying to do basic stuff. He had to re-download his software, do an immediate firmware update, and that’s your user experience. Sony just hasn’t got it right. Stuff like that will make people leave it alone.”
