While the announcement of the PSP Go in past E3, argued for digital downloads as the primary complaint, many controversies have arisen about the future after receiving the new laptop between consumers and stores. Leaving aside the issue of whether the business of digital downloads is viable or not, what matters is whether the consumer’s ability to take 16GB PSP Go is sufficient to take the memory of a wide range of console titles.
At a recent event held in New York, Al De Leon, Sony, said that most of the downloadable titles for PSP Go Systems will occupy between 600 and 800 MB. With this PSP Go console could store about 18 titles by using the memory that comes standard, but as said Sony could be expanded in another 16 GB, bringing the number of titles could be stored folded.
The management has ensured that these amounts can vary greatly depending on the genre it belongs to the game, so for example Patapon 2 will not even reach 400 but instead to Final Fantasy VII would reach 1.3 GB.
Another possibility, and that Sony has officially confirmed it was the creation of applications designed for PSP Go: “The majority will be games, but also opens the possibility to create a wide variety of PSP Go applications.”
This is due to the reduction in the price of PSP Go development kits that aims to promote the creation of games and applications, not the latter may exceed 100 MB.
