It has been announced by Electronic Arts that
the final two Harry Potter video games will not
be released for the PlayStation 2 and PSP,
(PlayStation Portable). EA did send out a
reason for this on their Facebook page:
"With every game we make, we push the current available console to its limits.
For Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix™, we introduced a seamless
Hogwarts™ experience for the PS2. For Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince™,
we pushed the graphical quality of the Wii to its limits and made a fantastically authentic looking game.
This time, as we have already announced, our focus was to optimise Harry Potter™ for the High Definition consoles: the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Our brand new game engine is very powerful, but in turn requires more power than the PS2 or the PSP can deliver – and we really want to make massive movie magic come to life in the game."
