Sony Pictures registers a slew of ‘Console War’ movie domain names

The next generation of console wars between Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft is set to begin as all three manufacturers are due to release a new console in the near future. Nintendo plans to release the Wii U in 2012, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720 are expected in 2013. Adding to the “war of consoles”, Sony Pictures has registered several domain names this week like ConsoleWarmovie.com (Whois) and TheConsoleWarmovie.com (Whois).

Could ‘Console War’ actually be a movie or just a creative marketing video promoting the Playstation 4?

What hints that this is more than just a video, is the names were all registered by Sony Pictures Entertainment, the television and film production/distribution unit of Sony. The names weren’t registered by Sony Computer Entertainment, the video game company.

Either way, there doesn’t appear to be any news coming out of Sony on the subject, but Sony Pictures Entertainment has picked up well over a dozen names.

Each domain was registered on August 23, 2012, through the brand protection company MarkMonitor.

The full list includes:

console-war.net
console-warmovie.com
console-wars.net
console-warsmovie.com
consolewar-movie.com
consolewar-movie.net
consolewar.net
consolewarmovie.com
consolewars-movie.com
consolewars-movie.net
consolewarsmovie.com
theconsolewar-movie.com
theconsolewar-movie.net
theconsolewar.net
theconsolewarmovie.com
theconsolewars-movie.com
theconsolewars-movie.net
theconsolewarsmovie.com

At the time of this story, none of the domains resolve to a web page.

I'm gonna hazard a guess that Sony won the movie.

Could be a tale of the rise of the PlayStation, in the vein of "The Social Network" or something like it. Intrigue in the Japanese industry, with villainous representations of Hiroshi Yamauchi and Gunpei Yokoi (because dead men can't defend themselves)

Yamauchi is still very much alive.

Movie probably starts with Nintendo turning down Sony in the 90s and ends with the triumph of the PS3 lol.

Yamauchi is still very much alive.

I was aware. I meant that's why they would choose Yokoi in lieu of, say, Miyamoto.

Plus many gamers remember Yamauchi poorly still, so alive or dead he'd be an easier target.
