Ubisoft: 'We have 12 PSP titles lined up'

Following Ubisoft's recent statement that Sony's Portable PlayStation is in "no man's land", the french publisher has said it still considers the system as "an important platform in the current videogames market".

Speaking to GamesIndustry, a Ubisoft spokesman said: "By way of further clarifying some recent statements made in the press, Ubisoft wants to reaffirm that it strongly supports the PSP, which holds a unique place in the market, addressing dedicated gamers and offering unprecedented power in a portable console".

The firm backed up its PSP commitment by revealing that it has 12 titles due to be published on the format this year.

"We support the PSP with innovative game experiences and plan to publish around 12 PSP games this fiscal year, including titles for some of our top-selling brands," the spokesman said.
