Future for Sony's Playstation Network

Sony's CEO Howard Stringer has revealed that Sony will be expanding the PlayStation Network to hardware other than the PS3 console.

Stringer noted the expansion is a good idea because the number of PS3's sold puts a limit on the scale of the network possible.



To quote: Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer has spoken on how online services have driven the expansion of the PlayStation business, and has implied that Sony is set to push the PSN service on other devices.

“We will be expanding the PlayStation Network to hardware other than the PS3,” he said in an interview with Asian news service Nikkei. He said that Sony will be expanding the PSN because the number of PS3 units sold “puts a limit on the scale of the network possible.”

“Sony has a vertical structure for each product line, an organizational structure that resists change, so it will take time to achieve this network growth. However, a large number of employees share my opinion on this,” he added.
