Sony New Year's Problems & Resolutions!

[KBG29]

1. This will happen. Sony is going to make PSN their Brand wide DL service, as Sir Howard Stringer has mentioned multiple times over the last year. If they want it to be successful they have to allow kids that want to put music on thier PSP the opertunity to do it.

2. I see no reason for Sony to do this. If people want rumble they can go get a new DS3. The most important thing they need to do controller wise is get the DS3 in the box to replace the Sixaxis.

3. I have no doubt this will have to happen. Thier is way to much money to be made buy doing this to pass it up. Plus Sony will use a Cell based GPU in the next Playstation, and unless some kind of wacky shit happens they will have a nVidia GPU in the next Playstation as well. So they might as well get an emulator made now, firstly cause it will take no future effort once the PS4 is out as it will run the same code, and secondly it would be pretty rediclous if the PS4 could play PS1, PS3, and PS4 titles, but not PS2.

4. This is going to happen. As mentioned earlyer Sony is looking to make PSN a brand wide service. Stringer is a very smart man and probably the smartest ever to be behind the reins at Sony. He has mentioned multiple times over the past few months that Sony has been much to casious in the past and it needs to come to a stop. Sony can not be late to the game again, they were late with digital music, and they were late with LCD. Stringer of course wants to see Blu-ray cleaning house in the movie buisness, but he is wise enough to know that DL's are the way of the future. PS3 has given Sony the ability to own the physical medium with Blu-ray, and own the digital medium after that buy converting people as it becomes convenent to DL. This is really a win, win situation for Sony.

5. This is one I am really hoping for but do not feel to positive about seeing this year. It will inevadably show up on PS3, as that is the way many broadband/Cable Companies are headed, but it is questinable win it will arive. My guess is we wont see it tell early 2009, but I would love to see it this year.
