November 3rd 2006 | Games Consoles

Fresh off the heels of Nintendo’s announced lineup of titles available for its Wii virtual console service, Sony has said that its own downloadable game platform for the upcoming PS3 console, is growing a respectable library as well, with "about 40" exclusive titles heading to the platform, says Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Phil Harrison.

Akin to Microsoft’s pioneering Xbox Live Arcade service and Nintendo’s upcoming Wii virtual console store, Sony will be bringing out the e-Distribution Initiative (EDI) to the PS3, which will allow users to purchase and download games directly from an Internet-connected console.
