One year ago today, the
PlayStation 3 was launched in the United States. Today, Sony Computer Entertainment is celebrating the first year of the popular and powerful game console. Many high definition fans have selected the PS3 as their Blu-ray player, and it continues to be a popular choice among consumers looking to jump into the HD arena.
Recent comments by Sir Howard Stringer, Chairman and CEO of
Sony Corporation, have been criticized for his lack of enthusiasm regarding the Blu-ray format. For any doubters of his commitment, Sir Howard has provided his thoughts about Blu-ray in the PS3:
"The inclusion of the Blu-ray drive in PS3 reflects Sony's absolute commitment to the format. We firmly believe that Blu-ray is the best high definition format for consumers, providing superior capacity, next-generation games, more hit movie titles, and the best possible picture and sound quality. With PS3, you get an amazing game machine and a state-of-the-art high definition movie player, and it is clear from recent sales numbers that this combination is resonating with millions of PS3 customers."
