PSP sales to rise 15 per cent in the coming year

Jak and Daxter are back. No, this isn't an April Fools Day joke; no, this isn't another racing game; and no, this isn't another spin-off. This is Jack and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, the next chapter in the storied franchise.






Despite a turbulent couple of years and the global economic downturn, Sony marketing head John Koller has revealed to VG247 that Sony expects PS2  sales to go up 15 per cent over the coming year.



Why so confident? "It's for a number of reasons," says Koller, free psp game "but primarily because of the entertainment packs and line-up of software that's coming. The software line-up alone should drive a lot of hardware sales."



True enough - this year sees the release of a number of high profile titles on PS2, including Assassin's Creed, Ghostbusters, LittleBigPlanet, Army of Two: The 40th Day, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, and a bevy of others. In terms of quality, you can't fault Sony's efforts.



However, this year also sees the release of the DSi free psp game (out tomorrow) and the iPhone 3.0 software, both of which will give impetus to Sony's already dominant rivals. Koller's probably right: this year's line-up will drive sales. But a significant hardware update is pretty much due.








It seems a study of 1,130 British men conducted by 'the UK's only specialist PS3 price comparison site' PS3pricecompare.co.uk has found that two-thirds would rather play video games than have sex.



To be fair to the UK's male population, the study was conducted free psp game on a PS3 site, and the damning figure only applies to new games. Only 32 per cent of respondents said they'd rather play video games generally than have sex - it's only with the qualifier 'new' that the number shoots up to 72 per cent.
