Zeno Colaço, SCEE’s head of developer relations, has officialy confirmed that a PSP-dedicated App Store will soon be opened as a section of the PSP PlayStation Store.

The new section will feature games as small as 20MBs and other applications (currently under development). More than 50 studios are already working on games and applications.

Colaço:

“We’re introducing new initiatives for the PSP which take it beyond traditional gaming, but still includes elements from gaming, and also includes new developers.

It is still a professional environment, you still need a development kit and you still need to have investment and a team. But it can be a small team. We don’t see any of the restrictions on the disc-based space being in this space.”
