PS3 backward compatible?

Add a comment

This approach of PS3 Games manufacturer Sony where backward capability is being utilized is not what the company had in mind initially but in past consoles this has been the case. As a matter of fact, a software solution is currently being developed and will most likely be installed in future alterations or modifications of the latest Sony game.This will then render the hardware of PlayStation 2 basically ineffective. If the story turns out to be accurate, then the possible inclusion of the PS2 hardware in the initial batches of PS3 Games that will be introduced in the market some six months away clearly points to one direction: it will tend to raise the total cost of every PS3.

This will ultimately lead to greater income losses for manufacturing giant Sony. This is a somewhat contradictory position for Sony to take when one takes into consideration the intense preparation that it is making in its all-out battle for supremacy in the video game industry. This is the logic that must be remembered so that it could place its name back in the growth list category. PS3 Games are set to be launched by middle of November this year. Simultaneous launchings of the console have already been scheduled in three different countries namely, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Reports say the game will have revolutionary interface systems, which will include the use of Blu-Ray media. This does not mean that the game will not play DVD and CD media because it still will.

PS3 to be better?

When the Playstation 2 was released 7 years ago, the average number of games sold per unit sold was 5. Fastforward to the PSP; it released and has only sold about 2 games per PSP sold. Movies are just as important as games these days as technology advances. People are buying it to watch movies just as much as they are to play the games. Judging by the screenshots of games such as Fight Night Round 3 that were made for the Playstation 3 the life like imaging on the games are astounding. Something all games have been trying to reach for many years.
Is it the time for some kick ass games?

Watever the case may be, we will have to wait until the release of the Playstation 3, it will be a feature packed console like nothing consumers have seen before.

XBOX or PS3?

The biggest difference between the two consoles is the price, XBOX was released for a few hundred pounds but it’s clear from all the reports that the PS3 will be launched for around £400 – £500.I believe the games for the Playstation 3 will be out run the games on the XBOX as they have done in the past, however more and more games are being developed for both platforms and in some cases XBOX are beginning to get titles that are only developed for the XBOX. If this continues then there really will be a battle. Until then it is Playstation for me everytime.
