In an interview with GamesIndustry, the exec said that the firm remains committed to the UMD-equipped PSP and insisted that the PSPgo is not a replacement for the handheld platform.
"I think we were always fairly clear, as far back as the original announcements, that this [PSPgo] wasn't a replacement for the current PSP-3000 offering, and that it sits alongside that and packaged media," he said.
"I don't think there's been a huge amount of cannibalisation, and I think those sales have come in and lifted overall PSP sales."
He also noted that while digital distribution is on the rise in the home console market, it will not phase out physical media: "Make no mistake, when you're looking at PS3 games and you're seeing the shift in the sheer size of the data that's becoming available, the packaged media business is not going away any time soon."
As of September 2009, there have been over 600 million titles sold on the PlayStation Network.
