Re: Why don't PSP games have trophies???

Well, it would in the same way that easy achievements can move games. A friend who used to be an achievement whore would get a copy of those kind of games from each region (yes, he had 360s for all regions). I can't remember where I saw it, but it was something along the lines that developers knew they could ship about an extra 10,000 copies if their game was easy to 1000/1000. Not a lot but could be the difference between making a profit or not for a low budget low print run game.

As for trophies on PSP? Why not. I'm sure they'll be on PSP2, anyway.

From what I recall, there aren't any trophies on the PSP because it's so easily modified. People would have hacked "trophy scores" left and right.

Yup. If the PSP had trophies there would be a ton of people hacking the system to have every trophy. The hacking and piracy on the PSP have really hurt the system.

No it wouldn't. 2 analog sticks and cheaper games would move systems

He bought a PS3 because they added trophies? Wow. Does he play the same game across multiple systems just to get the achievements and the trophies?

As I mentioned before, he has a 360 from each region so he can do exactly that.

Wow I didn't know the psp had a serious problem with hacking. I can see why they haven't added trophy support yet.

You know...that would be pretty cool if they can start utilizing a trophy system that can be incorporated between the PSP and PS3, but I suppose I can see the issues with hacking though.
