Minis on PSP – Bite Sized Gaming Confirmed

If you were in the boat that doubted Sony was targeting the iPhone market with the PSP Go’s look and pricing model, you just had another hole shot in the hull. Better start bailing water, friend. Coming out of Sony’s pre-GamesCom press event is confirmation of an earlier rumored story – that small, iPhone-style downloadable games would be coming to the PlayStation Network.

Called “Minis”, these “bite sized, snackable games” will be available on PSN when the Go launches this year. Some of the titles mentioned, none of which will be larger than 100mb according to Sony, will be the popular iPhone tower defense title Fieldrunners, Tetris, Alien Havoc and many others. 15 games are due when the program launches, with 50 due by the end of 2009.

I doubt this will replace my iPod touch in terms of being my go-to device for smaller games, but I can already hear the sound of a million iPhone game devs scrambling to port their little cash cows over.
