Very close to final. PS3 Price Q We have set this price so that many users can enjoy PS3. Why is only 60GB model open price for Japan? You have announced in April that more than billion yen of operating loss will be caused from Game segment in FY Will the PS3 price have any impact on the forecast?
Was the introduction of two models factored in at the earnings announcement in April? There is no change in forecast. Won't having two models increase cost?
Can you expect the economy of scale with two models? We don't have two different models. It is one model with different configuration just like with PCs. Therefore, economy of scale can be pursued. When do you expect to start making profit with PS3 business? At the early stage after the launch, PS3 expects losses due to start-up cost, etc. However, there is no change in our business model to make profit from both hardware and software. As we have accomplished with PS2, we aim to make PS3 business profitable as soon as possible, by expanding the platform and continuing our cost down measures by reducing the number of components used in the hardware and cutting the cost of key components including semiconductors.
However, it's too early to comment on the timing of the turnaround. Are there any additional or modified features from E3 last year? Please refer to the specification sheet for details. Analog output from BD will be supported until and all software published until they can be enjoyed.
Standardization of visual image output via home network e. DLNA is also currently under way. Because standardization of image output over the network such as DLNA Digital Living Network Alliance is currently under way, it will become possible to transfer images to multiple displays in ways other than using the HDMI port. It is also possible to connect PSP through the network as a secondary display and enjoy PS3 content remotely although it depends on the software.
Can you enjoy progressive images with PS and PS2 titles? PS3 is a computer system. Storage devices can be expanded by using adaptors available on the market. Home networking is spreading around the world. Why did you reduce the number of USB ports from 6 to 4? Number of ports can be expanded by using adaptors available on the market. Why did you reduce the number of Ethernet ports from 3 to 1? We had one input WAN and two outputs LAN in mind, but given that nowadays network connection is spreading within the homes, we considered that one Ethernet connection to a router would be sufficient.
Will Linux OS be adopted as you have planned? How much noise reduction level have you achieved? Approximately 29dB A equivalent to slim-line PS2. Controller Q You mention that PS3 adopts a breakthrough six-axis sensing system that lets you control intuitively as if the controller has become part of your body. How does this work? Why did you change the design of the controller to that of PS and PS2?
We received many feedback after E3 last year and created the PS3 controller by refining and improving the world's most popular Playstation controller that shipped more than several hundred million units worldwide, while inheriting its basic concept and design. Can the new features be enjoyed with all PS3 titles? It depends on the title, but we expect that software developers would proactively make use of the new PS3 controller.
You say that PS3 provides backward compatibility of PS and PS2 titles, but would you insist that you offer complete backward compatibility even if vibration feature does not work? There is no major difference in gameplay even without the vibration feature. We hope a lot of users will support the new PS3 controller with new ways of enjoyment. The controllers shown at the booth are all wired, but will the actual product be wireless?
We are using wired controllers since there is too much interference with so many wireless devices on the show floor. Will PSP be used as a remote controller? We will consider the possibility. PS3 Software Q We hear rumors from software developers that there are not enough development tools being shipped. Is this true? As evident with many game titles demonstrated at E3, development of PS3 titles is duty in progress. How much is the estimated price range of the software titles for PS3?
Is it the same price as PS2? As a platform holder, we are not in a position to comment on this. Are all titles shown at E3 press conference and booth launch titles? Many of the playable titles shown at E3 are likely to be released at or around launch. Some titles shown as demo video may also become launch titles. Do all titles shown at E3 support p? As for other titles, some are p and some p. How many launch titles do you expect to have? We expect the best launch line-up in history.
In this case, you'll want to remember that TGS stands for Take [with] Grain of Salt as well as the Tokyo Game Show, because none of the following information has currently been confirmed as true.
According to representatives at the website PS3Land, due to an anonymous source they have come across a list of the games that are going to be shown at the upcoming TGS and they were nice enough to give that information to the world.
PS3Land writers claim that the source is a Sony employee who wants to remain anonymous in order to avoid being fired. Many of the titles were expected, but as many were unannounced at E3 there are new names as well. Being that this is the Tokyo Game Show, the emphasis is on Asian developers and companies. While big name games aimed at American audiences are not likely to be featured here, there are many noteworthy games expected and the show is not to be missed if you happen to be in the area!
