Mens Sonys PSP har været en succes som spillemaskine, så kniber det med at få den ind under huden på brugerne, når det kommer til at se UMD-film på den.
Derfor melder både Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Paramount Home Entertainment og Warner Home Video nu at antallet af ny filmudgivelser for fremtiden vil værre færre.
Hos specielt Warner er det ikke svært at spore en skuffelse. Her siger Jeff Baker, der er senior vice præsident følgende:
"We are re-evaluating our position on any future releases at this time. We're looking at this on a case-by-case basis. We're disappointed with consumer demand at this time."
Hos indkøbschef Chris Anstey, der tager sig af Virgin Mega Stores er begejstringen også svær at finde:
"We continue to carry most new titles, and there is a modest demand for them, but there simply hasn't been a consistent growth of this new format to justify making more space for it. We have been encouraged by the results of a couple successful campaigns that we've featured to help promote them, but the overall impact of the format has still been nominal."
Sonys PSP blev lanceret i september sidste år.
