PlayStation 3

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer notes that the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)product had been widely anticipated all over the world, since Sony ran a teaser ad campaign, and put posters up everywhere in the international Electronic Entertainment Expo in the Los Angeles Convention Center. The writer points out that the PS3 has more than any other games machine has ever had. With features almost too numerous to mention, it looks confidently at commanding the future. Yet the writer notes that there is a quandary over the fact that the PS3 is difficult as a development platform. The writer concludes that the Sony PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive game console available today, and though its game titles are not impressive, its futuristic design and list of features make it worth the price.

From the Paper:

"However, others believe that the game is over for Sony. Cynics around the world have predicted that, despite Sony defeating the odds in past years, this year Sony will have a hard time dominating the market, as it once did, competing against the technologically superior Xbox and GameCube. They recall that Sega was once a market leader in games, but now, ten years later no longer even makes consoles. Sony built its market base on satisfying hardcore gamers with providing innovative new experiences to widen console gaming's reach beyond traditional audiences. Having caught up on technology does not guarantee its lead. Many people were waiting to hear the price of the PS3 before they decided whether to buy an Xbox 360. Now they probably will buy that Xbox."
