Speaking to Nikkei Electronics Asia, Sony CEO Howard Stringer has revealed Sony Computer Entertainment has now adopted a web services approach for the PS3.
“We developed brand new, absolutely incredible technology for the PlayStation 3, but the cost was high. We’ve adopted a slightly different approach now, and are evolving the PS3 into a platform for web services,” said Stringer.
He added: “A lot of people thought Sony’s content download service was doomed, but it’s in a pretty good place right now in the form of the PlayStation Network, available to PS3 users for network gaming, video, etc.”
Stringer noted that Sony has “begun the transition from a closed system to an open one” and consumers will begin to see the PlayStation Network expanding onto hardware other than the PS3, removing a bottleneck on the scale of the network.
