Gaming console vendors need broadband providers and television manufacturers to lower prices on their products to help gaming grow on the Internet, said Kazuo Hirai, president and chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. Hirai, speaking at a Congressional Internet Caucus event in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, called on broadband providers to reduce prices as a way to drive more U.S. residents to broadband and drive more interest in console gaming through the Internet. Television manufacturers can help spur interest in console gaming, he added, by pricing high-definition television (HDTV) sets in a range that's affordable for average U.S. residents.

06/22/2004 10:24 PM
MacCentral: Sony gaming exec: Broadband prices need to drop. "With the average monthly cost of broadband, about US$40, a customer could buy a new PlayStation 2 game every month." Translation: Stop competing with us for the public's disposable income. Please make less money so we can make more money. "Future versions of gaming consoles will be able to provide HDTV-ready games." This seems to confirm my hunch that the PS3 will have HD resolution. If it can play high definition Blu-ray movies, people will sort of expect the games to be HD, too.

Nintendo And Sony Gear Up To Fight It
Out Over Handheld Gaming
05/06/2004 12:55 PM
It must be fun to speculate when there's nothing much to go on. Wired News is talking about the upcoming battle between Nintendo and Sony for their next generation handheld gaming systems. The problem is that the details of both systems aren't expected until next week at E3. So, for the time being, we're left with speculation based on the little bits of info they've released and their expected target markets. Many people are already declaring Sony the winner, despite the fact that Nintendo has a lot more experience in this market (98% marketshare right now). The real question is whether or not that's defining the market too narrowly. If you define it as a segment of the overall video gaming market, then obviously Sony has a pretty good track record as well. Also, as the article points out, Sony's plan to go after the young adult market may be a lot more lucrative. Of course, there's a reason that we actually wait until the market speaks before declaring a winner, so idle predictions based on speculation might not be worth much.
