PSP Minis winning over iPhone developers?

Sony says it has courted enough studios to create about 50 mini-games by year-end.

The platform holder is perhaps seeing the beginnings of what it hopes is a vast migration of iPhone developers to PSPgo projects.

During its Gamescom press conference, Sony revealed that its new Minis range – PSPgo games, sized under 100MB, sold cheap – has already courted enough small developers to create about 50 Mini-games by the end of the year.

ME sister site Develop reports that one of those developers is HoneySlug, a three-man studio based in London. HoneySlug has already created two games for the iPhone – Ric Rococo and Balloon Headed Boy – but the team is now focusing its efforts on Sony’s new disc-less handheld.

Further accelerating Sony’s push into a market that has downloaded over 1 billion iPhone Apps, the firm is partnering with Canadian studio Frima to develop Zombie Tycoon; “a thinking man’s zombie game”.
