If ever the task facing Nintendo's - let alone Nokia's - needed any further demonstrating, and Sony's late yesterday sums the situation up, with the world's largest game publisher announcing four new titles all of which will be launching on the PSP, on day one. Now that's dedication.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour, Underground, NBA Street and Street will all debut at the Playstation Portable's launch in the US and in early 2005, whilst the publisher also promise a further ten to twelve titles within a year.

EA's PSP offerings will drawn from their biggest franchises, we're told, and the publisher already has 100 developers hard at work on such titles right now.

"Four years ago, when launched the PlayStation 2, EA was there at the forefront of the software world, delivering state-of-the-art games right out of the gate. We plan to do the same with the PSP," enthused EA top dog Don Mattrick. "The last cycle taught us how crucial it is that the software line-up at launch be outstanding and how deep an impact the games have on the entire lifespan of the system. We plan to kick off the PSP launch with a bang!"

    They are launching only sports titles?? What moron thought that that would part me from my money? I thought that Sony would have been more savy than to make such a mistake as that. How come Sony didn't plan on more diverse offerings for their new handheld. I mean they are trying to compete with Nintendo are they not? This offering is pathetic. I'm sorry, but I will wait until there are some action or adventure games available.
