With 34 million consoles sold worldwide coupled with the fact that they are all ‘connected’ Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley has informed MTV Multi-player that the possibilities of the PSP as a platform for Massively Multi-player Online Games is something they are looking at developing in the not so distant future.

However he proposed that integrating existing online games with the console is the immediate priority explaining how ‘ In Free Realms you could have a pet training system that literally connects to our online gaming where you can mess around with your pet.’

Alternatively mini-games could be an avenue they may develop ‘Another way to do it might be to give them mini-games that they can do when sitting at a bus stop, “You’re sitting there leveling up your character, you log in at home when you’re on Wi Fi, and all of sudden your character has leveled up. We think those kinds of experiences are very possible.”
