Sega shifting majority of dev. from PSP to DS

- Nikkei News reported that Sega is planning to shift its game development resource from PSP to Nintendo DS in 2007.

Scroll down a bit to the DS news on 2/22/07 to find it.
So they are actually wising up now.  ABout time, only Konami and Capcom left to jump fully.  Capcom will never do it as long as they have the attitude that the DS is kiddie though.

Whoa, Sega abandoned the blindfold and dartboard for determining their target platform?

Ah I love that poster, the best part is the "Trade up" part. lol

Heh, it also says "Trade the Past..."  That is just too funny.

I likewise love that poster because it does such an awesome job ruffling the feathers of the PSP lovers.

I just love the irony of it all. The PSP, which is considered to be leaps and bounds better than the DS in terms of technology, is considered to be the past.

Again, I love it.

Ah, know the VF creator can realize his dream of completing the shenmue series, with a severe budget cap, and higher profits then both shenmues combined due to being on the DS.

Come now.  The PSP is worth a very respectable hundred bucks towards the purchase of a DS Lite.  That's more than twice as much as the SP.  If that's not a selling point for the PSP, I don't know what is.

In all honesty, that poster almost makes me feel kinda sorry for the PSP.  The poor little handheld looks so ashamed of itself.  I kinda wish they'd attach a Phantom of the Opera mask to the front of it.
