Sony to Challenge Apple and Microsoft In TV

In the coming months, Sony is quietly preparing a big investment to expand the company itself to challenge the rival of Apple.Inc. According to Chief Executive Howard Stringer, they are planning to use it's state of the art PlayStation 3 and its PlayStation Portable videogaming machine, along with their line up of Bravia high-definition TV's, to process such a challenge to let users download TV shows and movies. Just like Apple, letting people download music and videos from their iTunes Store for people's iPods.

Because that would be easy, would please many people, and would make sense.Those are only some of the reasons why they shouldn't.

haven't you people heard of not putting all of your eggs in 1 basket. let them diversify, even if it doesn't stray far from the mainproduct. they have enough to publish for new games, and theyhave: Uncharted, HS, Lair, Infamous, R&C, Folklore, LilBP, etc.That's already more than any other 1st party publisher.

they're a corporation in a capitalist society, let them expand as much as they want. right or wrong,they have the right

Thats why people other than you get paid the big bucks to run Sony.

It's called cross marketing, by doing so they sell unrelated game product to a market of gamers. It'll be a new option ... one which you don't HAVE to use yet still can if you want to. Personnally i'm not a tv watcher but if i can download it undefinately i'd be willing to buy some.

Granted you guys want more games, but hell i looked at xbox 360 last year and they had the same amount o games we have on ps3. Also i looked at the Wii and its not shinier ... out 35 they have now around 15 of those were gcube games remade for the wii O_o.

And i'd also like to point out that there STILL A S***LOAD OF PS2 games coming onlike xbox games which were terminated 3 months after the 360 launch (and if you bought an xbox games like nfscarbon on the xbox it didnt work on the 360 which is not the case if you have the chipset on your ps3) and the Cube games 1 month after the wii launch .......

Anyway, i've plenty of gaming to do with the 17 games i bought in the last 2 month (only finished 4 of those so far O_o the others are not even unsealed).

Exactly

Anybody remember how much money their putting into Killzone?! Sony's got tons of games in development, many coming out this year or early next year. They've got the games coming. Now they're trying to refine the other aspects of the PS3 to make it an entertainment powerhouse. It's an entertainment system, not just a game machine. If you're just worried about games and don't want your system to do anything else go buy one of those Atari 20 in 1 game systems, plug them into a 13" tv and play games to your hearts content. As long as you stop complaining about it to us.

yea I agree, they should focus on the PSN istead of challenging Apple. Also they should focus on making games more exclusive. Overall the ps3 should be their main focus.
