Sony Seeks Cheaper Broadband, HDTV Technology

For the next generation of game consoles to reach their full potential, the American broadband market needs to grow, Sony Computer Entertainment America president Kaz Hirai said in a recent presentation to the Congressional Internet Caucus.

Hirai’s presentation reflected earlier comments from Sony that point towards a more complex content strategy for its next game console. The successor to the PlayStation 2, as SCE chief technology officer Masa Chatani explained at this year’s E3, is to serve as a terminal not only for games, online and otherwise, but the broadband delivery of many different kinds of entertainment media.
