Sony has always made its mark in the gaming industry with its game consoles. After the success of the PS2 that was released in 2000, Sony decided to take another step forward in the gaming industry with the introduction of the Sony PlayStation 3. It is basically the third home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is in direct competition with Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii, as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.
PlayStation 3 offers a unified online gaming service across the PlayStation network. This Sony PS3 feature works as a USP for them and sets it apart from its competitors (Xbox and Nintendo). It also gives your gamers robust multimedia capabilities that allow you to connect your console to the PSP. The game was first released on November 11, 2006 in Japan and on March 23, 2007 in Europe. As we all know, Sony game consoles have backward compatibility. You can play PS1 games on PS2 or PS2 games on PS3. But Sony made its savings by removing the Sony PS3’s backward compatibility feature, reducing the size of the hard drive, and cutting off some media connections. In this way, Sony introduced its cheapest PS3 model in Europe, as the cost of PS3 is much higher than in the US.
But the real competition comes with the introduction of Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii. It all falls into the category of HD (high definition) consoles. High definition in the sense of high quality graphics for better graphic output specifically designed for HDTVs. Sony PS3 features Blu-ray technology that allows developers to pack in 50 gigs of high-quality sound and gaming features. Sony PS3 comes with a 3.2 GHz multi-threaded processor, custom NVIDIA “RSX” graphics processor.
Sony PS3 comes with numerous accessories such as Sixaxis wireless controllers and Dual Shock 3. As mentioned above about Sony PlayStation network, with which user you can download thousands of free PlayStation games. Sony PS3 also introduced the concept of creating avatar characters for its PlayStation 3 system.
A total of 12 titles were introduced alongside PS3 on November 12, 2006 in North America which introduced Fall of Man, a first-person shooter game that was rated as the best-selling game. A total of 24 titles were introduced in Europe, including games that were not offered in North America. In the initial stages of the introduction of PS3, many websites and critics criticize it for the high price and the small number of launch games. However, after several price reviews, it began to receive better reviews.
If you want to experience a high-quality gaming experience and feel the ecstasy of games along with eye-catching graphics, choose Sony PS3. Although it is a bit higher when it comes to cost, for a player it is a good value for money. So I highly recommend that you go for Sony PS3 instead of Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii.
