Sony admits piracy is driving PSP sales
But it's still not happy about it
SCEE president David Reeves has admitted to industry magazine MCV there is a global piracy problem on PSP and says Sony is set to unveil a new clampdown on the people responsible.
However, he also acknowledges the trend for piracy is actually helping drive sales of PSP hardware.
Speaking at the firm's developer DevStation conference in London last week, Reeves said: "There is a piracy problem on PSP. We know about it, we know how it's done. It sometimes fuels the growth of hardware sales, but on balance we are not happy about it."
He went on to inform attendants Sony would soon be unveiling new ways to combat it.
Several months back, Sony conducted a survey among PSP owners containing questions that probed why they would hack their console. So there have been hints the company is very aware of how some users are using their console. How it will be tackling it remains to be seen.
We'll update you once we hear more on this one.
