But as soon as Sony Online Entertainment had the opportunity to deliver a downloadable game to the next-gen console over [Only registered users can see links. ], they released a souped up version of the game with a lower price point.

Sony's [Only registered users can see links. ] was released on the PlayStation 3, although it was first conceptualized for mobile gamers on the PSP handheld. [Only registered users can see links. ] figured that if they were putting a lot of work into the game, they could feature a better version of Cash Guns Chaos over to the PlayStation 3 first. Carson expounds:

You buy games on the PSP because it s a mobile device, you want to take it on the run. The two consoles really are two separate entities - and while people might have both and buy [GripShift] on both, we didn t see them necessarily as competing with each other.

The other thing that actually helped influence our decision [to focus on the PS3 first] for Cash Guns Chaos is that you really need to play the game with two analog sticks. While the PSP has one analog stick, we had set up controls where you had to use the X, circle, square and triangle key to control which direction your character was shooting.
