Sony CES briefing recap

 

 

 

Given Sony's position as a global consumer electronics giant, the company had no shortage of new tech to tout at its Consumer Electronics Show address Monday night. Sony trotted out various executives to talk about computers, phones, tablets, cameras, HD, 3D, and even a bit of PlayStation 3.

Set for release in North America and Europe next month, the PS Vita has sold more than 500,000 units since its Japanese debut in December. Sony followed that stat up with announcements that it had sold 6.5 million systems across all its PlayStation brands over the holidays, including 3.9 million PS3s and 1.6 million PSPs.

 

Back to the Vita, Sony Corporation executive deputy president Kaz Hirai announced a pair of new services that might be in place for the system's Western launch. First up, Hirai confirmed Sony's own Music Unlimited service for launch, and then he added that video streaming service Netflix is aiming to have its app ready for the PS Vita debut as well.

 

As for the PS3, the console's presence was somewhat muted at the show, with the biggest news coming in the form of the Play Memories Online service, launching this spring. Play Memories Online will allow users to upload their photos and videos to the cloud. The PS3 will be integrated with the service through the Play Memories Studio, an application that puts a gaming slant on viewing, sharing, and editing photos.

 

Other announcements touched on Sony's gaming arm, with word of new PlayStation Certified mobile devices. Sony also touted its push for 4K resolution (which has four times the number of pixels as current high-definition resolutions) in consumer electronics, starting with a new 4K home theater projector. The company is also working on 4K-capable TVs and upscaling Blu-ray players.

Sony unveils PlayStation certified, Ericsson-free phone

 

 

 

The latest smartphone to be officially PlayStation Certified has been unveiled by Sony.

 

The Xperia S is the first Sony handset to carry only the Sony logo following the company’s buyout of former partner Ericsson.

 

The handset boasts an impressive 4.3-inch 720p Reality Display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a 12-megapixel camera. Android 2.3 will be installed out of the box with an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich due out later in the year.

 

Both black and white models will be available at launch.

 

Obviously the device lacks the physical controls of the Xperia Play, but will still offer the same catalogue of games adapted to be used with touch screen controls.
