Microsoft has rolled out an impressive online service with Xbox Live—a service that has taken the company years to create. Sony's coming late to the party, so how can the company compete?
Sony Computer Entertainment of America chief Kaz Hirai believes it can. He tells game site Next Generation that, for example, Resistance: Fall of Man will support up to 40 players online, as well as video chat, text chat, voice chat, rankings and additional content available for download. Though, he adds this depends "on the game and their online capabilities." Moreover, Kaz says:
What we don't do however is have a brand name for the network service, you know, like PlayStation Online or PlayStation Live, and this is because we don't we don't see a "PlayStation offline".What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter if you are enjoying content from a Blu-ray disc or you are enjoying content you just downloaded from the network, at the end of the day it's all PLAYSTATION 3 so we don't differentiate between content, and I think that makes a clear point between us and some of our competitors...
That and an astromical price tag. Zing!
