Browser-Based Sony Store In The Works
Sony's online program has grown in fits and starts, and the news is that the company is planning a browser-based store that wil eventually
let you purchase content and download it to your PS3 and Vita.
In a CNET interview, Shawn Layden, COO of Sony Network Entertainment, says that a U.S. SNE browser-based store is in the works and
should come out this month. CNET reports that the online store front will let you purchase and download content from this browser, and
"eventually" have it automatically download to your PS3. Why this key feature isn't available from the start isn't clear. Currently, Sony
Network Entertainment has a European store browser with this feature up and running
PlayStation 3 Worldwide Sales Eclipse Xbox 360's
While the general perception is that this generation has been "won" by Microsoft -- largely due to the Xbox 360's dominance in North America --
analyst firm IDC's data now shows a slight advantage for Sony's PlayStation 3. In a new report entitled "Worldwide Video Game and
Entertainment Console Hardware and Packaged Software 2012-2016," IDC says that Sony passed Microsoft's worldwide numbers in
the recent holiday season. PlayStation 3's worldwide sales numbers now stand at 77 million, compared to Xbox 360's 76 million.
This near dead heat is surprisingly, considering that Sony got a late start in this generation, and has struggled to catch Microsoft
in the U.S. and Canada. It's also worth noting that --despite the previous conventional wisdom -- the video game market in this
generation was robust enough to support not one, but three, successful home game consoles (including Nintendo's Wii).
