EA Already Received Development Kits for PSP

EA has already received development kits for Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld player and they plan to develop four titles -- "Tiger Woods PGA Tour," "Need for Speed Underground," "NFL Street" and "NBA Street" -- for the expected March launch of PSP.
The new platforms are expected to offset what EA sees as a disappointing early start for online gaming. The prospect of amassing a core of gamers who pay a monthly subscription to battle other global combatants on the Internet has yet to take off. They attributed the slow take-up to a nagging fear that a gamer could be humiliated in challenging an unknown foe.
"We expected millions of people wanting to play the online games and we have found that, no, they don't. There is a pretty easy reason. If you play tennis and you don't know your opponent you are careful whether you should play against him. The same is true with online. If you go online you could be slaughtered or cheated," EA's head of European publishing, Gerhard Florin said.
Overcoming the social aspect of online gaming, he added, will hold back the market in the short term.
