[GC2009] Resumen de la conferencia de Sony en la GamesCom 2009
Todo lo que ha dado de sí el evento y sus anuncios.

 

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced a range of new products and services that will transform the entertainment experience on PSP (PlayStation Portable), PlayStation 3 (PS3) and PlayStation Network. Against the backdrop of strong global sales and the announcement of a comprehensive suite of new games and entertainment services, the new PlayStation®3 was unveiled, offering 120 gigabytes of hard disk drive storage space and priced at €299.

New PS3 system
The final surprise of the press conference was the unveiling of the new PS3 system. Responding to consumer demand for more space and the move towards downloadable content and games, the new model features 120GB hard disk drive whilst being significantly slimmer and lighter, with reduced power consumption. Available in stores the week of 1st September 2009, the new PS3 will be priced at €299. The current PS3 will also be reduced to €299 from 19th August 2009.

Strong business performance
Global sales of PSP (PlayStation Portable) hit more than 52.9 million [17 million in PAL territories] whilst PS3 reached more than 23.7 million [10.1 million in PAL territories] in its first two years. Rapid adoption of PlayStation Network has seen more than 27 million global registrants [11.1 million in PAL territories]; delivering 560 million downloads and online sales over $280 million.

Entertainment on demand
A system enhancement (system software update version 3.00) will improve the aesthetics and navigation of PS3, whilst also giving access to optimised TV websites including the UK’s BBC iPlayer on September 1st, followed shortly by RTVE, ANTENA 3 and La Sexta in Spain, ZDFmediathek in Germany, NOS in the Netherlands NOS, and the Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC) in Australia. Alongside TV web access, PlayStation’s entertainment offering was strengthened with the announcement of the PlayStation®Network video delivery service for PS3 and PSP, which goes live in November. The service will offer hundreds of movies, from Hollywood blockbusters to local market content, for rental or purchase in standard or high definition formats.

Digital reader unveiled
Digital reader service for PSP will also become available in December with other markets to follow in 2010. The first offering is Digital Comics, with hundreds of comics available at launch, and many more added each month, with big names including Spiderman, X-Men and Fantastic Four from Marvel, standing alongside graphic novels and titles from indie and local publishers. Consumers will first need to connect their PSP via Wi-Fi to the PlayStation Store to download the digital reader. Once downloaded, they can return to the Store to choose from a wide variety of comics available.

New payment system
Access to PlayStation Network content and services, including videos and comics will be made even easier from September with the availability at retail of PlayStation Network Voucher Cards in €20 and €50 denominations, allowing consumers to purchase from the PlayStation Store without the need for a credit card.

Andrew House, SCEE President and CEO, summarised the impact of the new services: “PlayStation Network opens up a genuinely unique entertainment experience. This is no longer just for hardcore gamers, but for everyone. We believe that everyone enjoys entertainment differently and should have the choice as to what entertainment they consume and exactly how they consume it. PlayStation is the gateway to that entertainment.”

Launch of “minis”
PSP saw more content, more choice and more ways to play. The gaming experience on PSP will be enhanced by “minis”, a new category of bite-sized games on PlayStation Network. “minis” will be available on 1st October 2009, alongside the launch of PSP go, with more than 35 developers around the world delivering more than 50 games by the end of the year. Meanwhile, choice was brought to life with two new colours for PSP-3000; Turquoise Green and Blossom Pink on sale from November, either standalone or Turquoise Green bundled with LittleBigPlanet.

Heavy Rain
David Cage of Quantic Dream presented a dramatic update to the much anticipated PS3 title. The game catapults players on an emotionally driven, dramatic journey in which their every move can have a tangible impact on the way the narrative unfolds, providing players with an intense, immersive and original experience.

Nunca le cuentes un secreto a SONY o aparecerá publicado en una web china.

como que no y el secretazo de FFXIV xD que bueno al final se nos cayo jajaja

[Hk]

Para mi que esta estrategia estaba preestablecida

Perder en ventas frente a tus dos competidores por taaaanto tiempo no me parece una gran estrategia.

[deftavo]

PS3 Slim no tendrá retrocompatibilidad, no permitirá instalar sistemas operativos o que no incluirá un cable ethernet.

[Snake]

Creo que hay una confusion respecto al cable Ethernet.

Aqui vemos un chart de comparacion
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/18/ta...phat-sized-up/

En la parte de Bundled dice
Ethernet cable : NO

Traduccion:
Esto significa que en la caja no te viene un cable de Ethernet como venia en los PS3 anteriores. Asi que si quieres conectarlo a internet tendras que gastar tu sencillo para comprarte un cable ethernet en wilson.

Todos los PS3 tienen puerto ethernet.

Y sobre el leak, para ser justos, no me parece que haya sido culpa directa de Sony. El leak debe haber ocurrido en alguna de las empresas subcontratadas que fabricaron partes del nuevo PS3. Supongo que esto repercutira en las relaciones de Sony con esos fabricantes pero es algo que no nos interesa.

[veli64]

Que no venga cable ethernet pucha no significa nada de nada, total esos cables son suelen ser cortos y si no viene ahora es para reducir costos y poder bajar el precio que si es importante.
Lo que no se puedan instalar sistemas operativos pucha uno va a comprar un PS3 principalmente para eso???
Sobre la retrocompatibilidad es la misma que las otras versiones practicamente, full con PS1 y nula con PS2.

[Snake]

Que no venga cable ethernet pucha no significa nada de nada, total esos cables son suelen ser cortos.

Claro, el problema es que algunos han malinterpretado cable con puerto.

Y creo que el 99% de usuarios no instala ningun OS en su PS3.

Respecto a la "estrategia" creo que Sony si tenia planeado sacar un modelo slim pero no es que lo hayan "guardado", si no mas bien, recien ahora han podido fabricarlo luego de varios modelos intentando reducir costos y consumo de poder. Y me imagino que se han apresurado bastante ya que siguen perdiendo en casi todos los mercados de juegos (creo que solo en Japon le gana a la x360, aunque sigue vendiendo casi 10 veces menos hardware que Wii que acaba de sacar Monster Hunter 3).

Espero que ahora PS3 empiece a vender mas, salgan mas juegos y haya mas chamba para mi :)

[broodwar1]

si bajan los precios seria genial
alguien sabe cuanto costaria un ps3 slim aqui en Peru ? es que quiero comprarme una ps3 para navidad (ojala lleguen aqui para entonces)

si fuese 1500soles para abajo me lo compro sin pensarlo
ademas bajaran los precios de las consolas de ahora a 299 la cuestion es que se acabe el stock aqui y traigan las que tienen ese precio al Peru o me equivoco? :cry:

[veli64]

Yo creo que por polvos azules el PS3 Slim va a estar a mas tardar desde la semana siguiente a que salga en USA y el precio debe ser menos de $400.

El precio actual del ps3 de 80g y desde hace ya varios meses va alrededor de los 1400 soles, yo supongo que deberan bajar un poco mas cuando salga el slim. Particularmente no me gusta para nada el modelo slim estoy feliz con mi ps3 de 5kilos D:

Supuestamente los PS3 de 80G tendrian que bajar en Sony Center, Saga y Ripley, ya en otros paises al día siguiente de la conferencia bajaron.

Del unico que tengo confirmación es de Chile

[NoobZaibot]

Sabian que las ventas de PS3 se incrementaron en un 60% luego de la GamesCom ?

Ojala el desarrollo de juegos buenos para la plataforma crezca en un 93493483894 %...
