What’s EA’s least favorite console? Don’t say it’s the PSP! But the company’s release charts suggest a cooled interest in Sony’s handheld.

Financial statements released by mega-publisher EA as part of the company’s third-quarter results this week show the Sony’s PSP coming up short in company support.
A chart of the company’s releases for the just-concluded quarter, show just three PSP games released during the busy Christmas holiday season, compared to nine DS games, eight Xbox 360 games, 7 PS3 games and 12 Wii games.
EA prominently supported the PSP when the system launched and continues to put major sports and racing titles on the system. But the numbers here raise some questions that we’ll certainly be asking EA decision-makers about the next time we speak to them.
