PS3 Console and Games Announcement

Sony showed off its PlayStation 3 game console Thursday and named 22 titles that will be available at the same time. The release date is set at November 17, 2006 in US and Japan.

The games at launch will run the genre gamut, from racing and war games to updated, more powerful versions of popular sports titles “the most robust game lineup” of any new-generation game system, boasted Kaz Hirai, president and chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment America.
Sony’s own in-house developed titles, such as a first-person shooting game called “Resistance: Fall of Man” will be $59.99.
Other games that will be available for download directly onto the PS3 will be priced at $14.99 or less, Sony officials said.
Prices of certain accessories also were disclosed: $50 for an extra wireless controller; $15 for a memory card adapter; and $25 for a remote control for the system’s built-in Blu-ray disc drive player.

The console is already the most expensive among the new generation of game systems with a price tag of $500 or $600, depending on the model, but analysts say Sony’s dominance in the video game market still will dictate its success.
