"Not comparable to the ones on PSP"
PlayStation boss Kaz Hirai has dismissed rumours that the PSP Go was influenced by the success of the iPhone and its app store.

Hirai claimed that the iPhone had "nothing to do with" Sony's decision to launch the PSP Go device.

As for games on the iPhone, Hirai said that "the types of games the app store offers are completely different from the game experience we are presenting to consumers on the PSP" He mentioned Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker as examples of games that would work only on a device such as the PSP, with physical buttons.

"There are some fun games on the app store," said Hirai, "but they are often limited. Soft on-screen buttons are totally different to proper controls. Games are all called "games" but the ones on the app store are not comparable to the ones on PSP."
