That's kind of a different case, imo. ISP was (together with DQ Slime) one of their first games for the new generation of handhelds at that time they were not sure which plattform will succeed, I suppose.
Sure, I think that's true. It reminds me of Enix's early 32bit support, where they threw lower tier IPs at Saturn, N64 and PS1 before committing whole hog to the latter. I just don't think Horii necessarily has such a hard and fast "only first place" rule as people jump to and if PSP Itadaki had sold better, I think we'd have likely seen more Armor Project releases on it.

Yeah, it's pretty sad that SCEJ has only announced two "detective" adventure games for this year. They could have the fucking Gran Turismo Portable or a non low budget spinoff SRPG Wild Arms or at least port some ps2 games like Dark Chronicles, Rogue Galaxy, Minna no Tennis,...
They are doing nothing.
Minna no Tennis Portable would be a GREAT move imo. Though how did Mingol 2 sell, didn't it sort of disappoint? GTP seems out of reach with PD slaving away on GT5, L5 seems way too busy to take on another SCE project and I kinda question if MediaVision's that eager to jump into Wild Arms again? Though after Wiz-Road tanked, maybe they won't have much choice? :lol
Japan Studio really has seemed to abandon PSP sadly. Hell, their PS3 support isn't all that either actually. :/

I can accept if one doesn't consider it a core game. That's up for debate. My original point was that comparing it to the Gun Survivor series makes little sense nowadays because of the big differences. The similarities are superficial. Developed by Cavia? Yeah, but CV and Zero were developed by different studios, too. UC may have reused a lot of assets, but GS4 was entirely new and that didn't stop it from being an unimportant sidestory. UC may seem low budget, but look at RE3's budget compared to CV.
I can see that. I think RE3 and CV were somewhat closely budgeted though, even if Nextech was contracted to grunt the latter. Both had some pretty expensive looking CG iirc.
