Sony show interest in Guitar Hero for PSP

In a recent interview with MTV Multiplayer, Sony's John Kroller spoke about the company's interest in a Guitar Hero game appearing on the handheld.

"Music is the number two use on the PSP, behind gaming. So, the marrying of those two concepts is of huge interest to us, and if there's that opportunity to launch a title like that or even a new title that utilizes music in some way, then obviously we're very interested."

The DS plays host to a variety of music titles, like Guitar Hero On Tour and Elite Beat Agents. The PSP also has its fair share of music games, like beats and DJ Max, which appeal to the hardcore market but none have come close to the runaway success of the DS music catalogue.

It's worth noting that the PSP is no stranger to storing music, it looks like Sony will be moving to make use of more user-generated music.

It was also revealed earlier today by Capcom that Sony estimate 50% of PS3 owners also own a PSP. When LittleBigPlanet creation moves to the portable in the foreseeable future, there's probably going to be a lot of emphasis on music creation. Here's hoping we'll see something else in the pipeline soon.
