PSP Dev Tool Prices Halved

Sony subsidiary SN Systems today announced a 50 percent price reduction for its PlayStation Portable development tools. The company will also cut its support fees by half.

Development tools include basic requirements for game creation, allowing studios to both compile and test code on a specific platform.

Sony recently announced that it expects to total 13 million worldwide PSP sales over its 2007 fiscal year, which ends in March.

PlayStation 3 development kits were also recently discounted, with Sony reducing the cost by nearly half last November in an effort to make the third-place console more attractive to penny-pinching studios.

Its a shame Sony doesn't have a XNA type setup for PSP development. The only things you can really do are web apps through the built in web browser, but then that only has 2mb of ram available divided by the 3 different tabs. I love my psp to death and I would really enjoy developing for it.

I think you mean to make their kits cost-competitive. The PS3 Dev Kits originally cost over twice what a 360 Dev Kit cost and four times what a Wii Dev Kit cost.
