Sony PlayStation 3: Raw Power, Risky Timing

Will Sony's Work To Develop The Most Powerful Game Console Pay Off?

This is the second document in the "Next-Generation Consoles" series.

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Sony unveiled PlayStation 3, its next-generation game console, at a pre-E3 press conference on Monday. The console is likely to be twice as powerful as the Xbox 360 — on paper at least — and is promised by spring 2006. This new technology compounds the risk that Sony may miss its shipment targets or deliver at a price that consumers will shun. To win, Sony Computer Entertainment must also make its network and digital home ambitions clear and fight back against Microsoft's marketing onslaught.
