Sony Computer Entertainment America Announces Extensive Line Up of Game Titles for PlayStation 3 – Online Platform, Downloadable Content and Peripherals Also Revealed

Sony Computer Entertainment America today announced its debut game titles and unveiled the online strategy for its highly anticipated PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) system, the company’s groundbreaking computer entertainment system which will be available in North America on November 17, 2006.

More than 20 first- and third-party PS3 titles will be available through the holidays, resulting in the most robust software line-up ever offered by a new console at launch.

The launch catalog encompasses the most popular game genres, featuring industry leading franchises as well as new intellectual properties to be released exclusively on PS3, with most titles expected to retail under $60.

“Our line-up of PS3 games that will be available through the holidays is unprecedented in terms of volume, variety and innovation, surpassing any previous competitive launch catalog and even our own original offerings for other PlayStation® platforms,” said Kaz Hirai, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America.

“We are pioneering a new era of true next-generation gaming through such titles as Resistance: Fall of Man™, a visually arresting game that takes advantage of the large storage capacity and exceptional visual clarity offered by Blu-ray Disc™ (BD); and NBA 07, running at full 1080p for the highest resolution image possible, creating hyper-realistic characters and gameplay never seen before.”
