A new strategy by Sony is to try and increase developer support for the PlayStation Portable. They attempt to do this by means of dropping the price of the Sony PSP development kit.

SN Systems director Andy Beveridge: “SN Systems development tools for PSP are well-established and mature, having been on sale since the end of 2004. Since then, the tools have grown extensively as a result of direct feedback from PSP game title developers.

“Significantly reducing the cost of the tools will help to ensure that PSP game title developers have everything they need to continue creating great titles. This price reduction, coupled with the recent addition of Tuner (performance optimizer) to ProDG for PSP, makes the core development tool a very attractive package.”
