“Computer†always has been part of Sony’s game division name since it entered the market with the original PlayStation in 1995. PS3 will be the first device that has the capacity to deliver on that promise. PS2 focused on the “entertainment†portion of Sony’s name, with DVD movie and CD music playback. PS3 will offer that, plus Blu-ray Disc movie and game playback, in addition to backward-compatibility on the entire library of PS and PS2 games.
