EA support DS and PSP
But Sony hold the GBA's true successor, apparently
Whilst EA will continue to support the GBA until March 2005, the firm's top brass revealed next-gen portable support in a conference with industry analysts yesterday. As expected, both new handheld devices from Sony and Nintendo (the PSP and the DS), will be supported by the publisher, though CEO Larry Probst did suggest he expected "the PSP to be as big as the Game Boy at some point in the future." Something which won't cheer Nintendo we're guessing.
EA were cagey when questioned concerning the scheduling of DS titles, however Probst did reveal that EA plans to release between for and six titles for the PSP during 2005. Indeed, whilst this support isn't quite stellar, it does cover the period in which Sony plan to debut the handheld (and about three months beyond), showing EA's intention to be present at the launch. A vote of confidence for Sony's new gizmo we'd suggest.
