On the whole, 2009 was a great year for the software side of PSP business, with home console mainstays like MotorStorm and LittleBigPlanet making the jump to a portable platform. Not surprisingly, SCEA Senior VP of Publisher Relations Rob Dyer says Sony intents to propel that momentum even further this year with a heap of “big titles” on the horizon.

According to Dyer, Sony will showcase its commitment towards its six year old PSP platform  with a number of significant announcements prepped across the trade and media events of GDC, Destination PlayStation and E3 2010.

I won’t go through the whole lineup because I want our third-party partners to make those announcements, but there are some big, big titles coming out this year and you’ll see those announcements at GDC, DPS (Destination PlayStation) or E3.

Dyer also noted that Sony is working “diligently to bring about some solutions” in regards to alleviating rampant piracy on the PSP.  We’ve already seen SOCOM 3 employ a PSN activation scheme to curb used game sales and subsequently fend off pirates. Sounds as if we’ll see more attempts on that front soon-ish, if Dyer’s comment on the situation is any indication.
