시제품.사양 공개..MS 'X박스360'에 '맞불' 일본 소니사가 차세대 게임기 '플레이 스테이션3(PS3)'를 내년 봄에 내놓고 마이크로소프트(MS)의 게임기 'X박스360'과 정 면 대결을 벌인다. 소니컴퓨터엔터테인먼트(SCE)는 16일(현지시간) 미국 로스앤젤레스 소니픽처스 스튜디오에서 언론 발표회를 열어 PS3 시제품과 사양 등을 공개하고 PS3를 내년 봄 에 출시하기로 했다고 밝혔다. PS3는 소니와 IBM, 도시바가 공동 개발한 고성능 CPU(중앙처리장치) 셀(Cell)과 그래픽칩 전문업체 엔비디아(Nvidia)사의 그래픽칩 'RSX(Reality Synthesizer)'를 탑재해 영화와 같은 게임 화면을 실시간으로 구현한다. 블루레이 포맷의 차세대 DVD를 채택해 기존 DVD의 6배인 54GB(기가바이트)의 초 대용량 게임을 즐길 수 있고 현재의 HD(고화질) 포맷보다 앞선 최대 1080p의 초고해 상도 화면 2개를 동시에 출력할 수 있다. 네트워크 기능도 강화돼 유선 인터넷과 무선랜을 통해 항상 온라인 서비스 '플 레이스테이션 네트워크'에 연결돼 커뮤니티와 미디어 콘텐츠 서비스, 상거래, 상호 커뮤니케이션을 이용할 수 있다. 또 PS3간 P2P(개인대 개인) 방식으로 상호 연결이 가능해 인터넷과 같은 PS3만 의 거대한 네트워크가 구축되며 무선랜을 통해 휴대용 게임기 플레이스테이션 포터 블(PSP)로 PS3에 접속해 PS3 내부의 미디어를 즐길 수 있다. 소니는 특히 PS3에 탑재된 셀 CPU가 슈퍼컴퓨터급인 2테라플롭스(초당 2조회의 연산)의 연산능력을 갖고 있다는 점 등 PS3의 고성능을 부각시키면서 라이벌 MS의 X 박스360에 대한 우월성을 강조했다. 소니는 또 이날 스퀘어 에닉스의 '파이널 판타지 12', 코나미의 '메탈기어 솔리 드' 신작, 소니의 '그란투리스모' 신작, 록스타 게임즈의 'GTA(Grand Theft Auto)' 시리즈 신작, 캡콤의 '데빌 메이 크라이4', EA '파이트 나이트 라운드 3' 등 개발중 인 PS3 신작 라인업도 공개했다. PS3의 내년 봄 출시는 당초 내년 상반기 말 또는 하반기 정도로 예상됐던 것보 다 다소 이른 것으로 X박스360의 '바람몰이'를 조기에 차단하기 위한 '맞불' 성격 으로 보여 양사간 게임기 전쟁의 향후 추이가 주목된다. 양사는 현지시간 17일부터 나흘간 계속되는 세계 최대의 게임전시회 'E3'에 이 들 차세대 게임기를 내놓고 세계 게임시장을 둘러싼 본격 경쟁에 들어갈 계획이다.

dude! i know it's japanesse but it's about ps3!!

--Today saw the second of the big three console makers announce its next-generation platform. At its pre-E3 press conference, Sony Computer Entertainment gave the world its first look at the PlayStation 3, as it is now officially called. While the device's price has not yet been set, its release window--spring 2006--has. Flanked by Sony Computer Entertainment America President and CEO Kaz Hirai, SCE head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "supercomputer for computer entertainment."

The name was not unexpected, since Sony had been running an extensive teaser-ad campaign prepping the public for the PlayStation 3. The company had laid a blanket of posters around the Los Angeles Convention Center, site of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3). Bus stalls and billboards around the convention center proclaimed "Prepare for Chang3" in the distinctive PlayStation font with partial shots of the Dual Shock controller's square-circle-triangle-X buttons.

Sony E3 2005 Press Conference The PlayStation 3 is revealed with much fanfare and even more tech demos.
Watch | Download Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3 will use Blu-ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also support CR-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. Sony also confirmed that the machine will be backward compatible all the way to the original PlayStation. It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot. It will also sport a slot for a detachable 2.5-inch HDD, somewhat similar to the Xbox 360's. Sony did not mention if the drive would be standard.

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2GHz, giving the whole system 2 teraflops of overall performance. It will sport 256MB XDR main RAM at 3.2GHz, and it will have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700MHz.

Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer," which is based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution--some of the highest HD resolution around. The RSX also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of 100 billion shader operations and 51 billion dot products per second. It also has more than 300 million transistors, larger than any processor commercially available today. It will be manufactured using the 90nm process, with eight layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which would cost roughly $1,000 total if purchased today.

The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video. Speaking of video, Sony Computer Entertainment's chief technical officer Masa Chatani was on hand to show off the PS3's panoramic video functions. Since the console has two HD outputs, it is can be hooked up to two side-by-side HDTVs to projecting video in a 32:9 extra-widescreen format (think Cinemascope in your living room). Like a gigantic version of the Nintendo DS, the dual digital outputs also allow for an extended game display, with the action on one screen and either game information or video chat on the second.

Out of the box, the PS3 will have the capability to support seven Bluetooth controllers, which can be used for nearly 24 hours before they require charging. Later, pictures of the controllers themselves were released, showing their almost boomerang-like shape. It will also have six USB slots for peripherals: four up front and two in the back. As rumored, it will also have Wi-Fi connectivity to the PSP, which can be used as a remote screen and/or controller.

Dr. Richard Marx, the inventor of EyeToy, was on hand to show off the PS3's wireless HD IP Camera. The demo recalled rumors that the machine will have Minority Report-esque motion-sensing capabilities. Marx held two small cup-like objects in his hands, which moved the cups on the screen in real time.

To show off the PlayStation 3's graphical brawn, Sony showed several game demos, including an Unreal 3 engine show-off of what appeared to be Unreal Tournament 2007. In what must come as a relief to developers, Epic Games' Tim Sweeney was on hand to vouch for the PS3, saying it was "easy to program for" and that Epic had received its first PS3 hardware two months ago. He proved the tech demo was real-time by showing it again and by manipulating the camera and zooming in.

Sony also showed off several other tech demos. One was a next-gen remake of the famed "duck demo" first shown when the PlayStation 2 launched. Except this time, instead of one duck in a bathtub, the demo showed a whole flock of ducks milling about, as well as several toy battleships. Another demo showed grass and foliage growing while another showed Gran Turismo cars racing with Spider-Man swinging overhead. Speaking of Spider-Man, another demo showed highly detailed renders of Alfred Molina as Dr. Octopus recreated from the film Spider-Man 2.

However, Sweeney's words were only the beginning. Later, Sony trotted out a whole host of publishers that are backing the PlayStation 3. And in the process, it confirmed several games for the console. Hideo Kojima introduced Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4, Capcom showed off Devil May Cry 4, Namco unveiled Tekken 6, Polyphony Digital trotted out a fifth Gran Turismo, SCEE showed off the next Killzone, and Rockstar Games showed a new Western title.

EA President Larry Probst was also on hand to show off a demonstration of the next Fight Night game, which will presumably be called Fight Night Round 3. When one of the two fighters took a blow, his skin rippled realistically. Kudo Tsonoda from EA's Chicago studio was on hand, and said that the goal is to make the facial animation convey the amount of punishment a pugilist has suffered.

And still the games came. SCEE had three on display: A third Getaway, with an even seedier, nastier version of London; a new off-road racing game called Motor Storm from Evolution Studios; and a shooter called Heavenly Sword. Sega is readying Fifth Phantom Saga, and Bandai is prepping another Gundam game. Ubisoft is continuing to innovate in the first-person shooter field with an all-new IP named Killing Day. Koei enlightened the crowd with a demo of Ni-oh, a new martial-arts-themed brawler about Buddha's monk bodyguards. Incognito is developing a sequel to Warhawk, the acclaimed actioner for the original PlayStation.

However, one of the night's most impressive tech demos will likely be the most disappointing for fans of the Final Fantasy series. After showing some footage from the upcoming Final Fantasy XII for the PlayStation 2, Square Enix Yochi Wada showed a very impressive demo called "Final Fantasy VII: Technical Demo for PlayStation 3." The visually impressive demo showed a sequence of a cityscape, culminating with fan favorite Cloud jumping out of a train. However, Wada said the clip was "merely a sample" and Square Enix currently has no plans to release a remake of Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 3. However, he did say the series would arrive on the console in "some form."

Wada's presence at the PS3 launch was ironic, given that Microsoft announced Final Fantasy XI for the Xbox 360 just hours later. In fact, much of Sony's conference seemed designed to one-up the features of Microsoft's new console point by point.

Sony also emphasized that the PlayStation 3 would have similar online connectivity and services as the next generation of Xbox Live. Calling it "an always on, always connected device," Chatani said the PS3 would be constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network "fundamentally based on a on community, communication commerce, and content." He said that subscribers could "exchange unique characters and items through the network," much like Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace.
