PlayStation UK's Fergal Gara says that Sony's studios are having trouble balancing support of PS3, PS Vita, and the upcoming Playstation 4.
Sony is working on a new video game console to succeed the swiftly maturing PlayStation 3. Codenamed Orbis, the PlayStation 4 will do a number of things according to various sources within and without Sony. The PlayStation 4 will support 4K playback. Following its acquisition of streaming video game company Gaikai, Sony’s executives have hinted that the PlayStation 4 will itself offer cloud-based streaming service.

Sony PS 3: Sony Playstation 3D Display Bundle Down to $300

Companies seem to be learning that price is important this year. We’ve seen the Logitech Revue drop, Blackberry Playbook, HP Touchpad and now the Sony Playstation 3D tv. To be perfectly fair it was a good idea, but the price was too high or the tv was too small to capture any real market. This caused the device to drop for black friday, though it seems the trend is going to continue.

Sony PS 3: Sony’s External Battery for PlayStation Vita is Genius, a Real Game Changer

So a bunch of us were out to dinner when Ryan from IGN checks his phone and declares, “Huh. So I guess the Vita has an external battery pack.” Everyone in our little clan agreed that this was a great move. We all chimed in our differently worded agreements before about two seconds of solid silence. I broke this with the reality check, “People are gonna be pissed,” which was met with another chorus of agreements, this time muffled by the sounds of palms on everyone’s faces.
The amount of Vita hype from consumers and media alike is already a good sign for Vita; it’s months away from launch, but the general consensus in the gaming world is that things in the present are looking good. Some, however, have taken issue with the battery life being three to five hours.

After hackers knocked its PlayStation Network offline for nearly a month, Sony is now trying to make amends by giving customers free video games.
Sony made the announcement Monday, saying it was a way of thanking the millions of gamers on its network for their "patience, support and continued loyalty during the service outage."
In the U.S. and Canada, PlayStation Network and Qriocity subscribers will soon be able to register for two new games each -- either in PS3 or PSP format -- at the PlayStation Store. The PlayStation Store isn't online yet, but when it comes back, gamers will have 30 days to get their goods.

Sony PS 3: Sony PlayStation 3 Sales Hit 50M Worldwide

Sony has reached a milestone. The company announced that sales for the PlayStation 3 have reached 50 million units worldwide in the five years since its debut.
Sales of the console have steadily increased; the Telegraph UK notes that 3.5 million PS3s were shipped in 2006, 9.1 million in 2007, 10.1 million in 2008, and 13 million in 2009.
It must be noted that Sony calls these "sell-in numbers," which refers to the number of units Sony sold to retailers, not directly to users. So these numbers are not totally comparable to retail figures reported by Sony's competition. Regardless, Sony's sales numbers are impressive.

Sony PS 3: Sony studies PS3 price cut

Sony has apparently been looking at the possibility of cutting the price of the PlayStation 3 in the wake of the recent cuts that the company has made to the PlayStation Portable. Sony would like to see another price cut in the future, but no timetable has apparently been set yet as to when it might happen; sources tell us that it is likely that the company will wait to see what Microsoft does with the Xbox 360 and then react or make the move to slash their price this fall as they head into the holiday season.

More than than 80 percent of all PlayStation 3s worldwide connect to the Internet, and Sony has tallied more than 70 million PlayStation Network accounts worldwide, a company exec revealed at the Game Developers Conference last night, according to video game blog Joystiq.
Pierre Gravereau, digital distribution manager at Sony Computer Entertainment America, reportedly told those in attendance at his panel discussion in San Francisco that Sony's PlayStation Store traffic is up 60 percent and its revenue has risen 70 percent, compared with the prior year.
In addition, Gravereau said--and several publications reported--that Sony has sold 41.6 million PlayStation 3 units worldwide.

Sony PS 3: Sony to bring PS Move functionality to PCs?

Sony may soon unveil plans to bring its PlayStation Move motion-gaming accessory to PCs.
John McCutchan, who heads the game systems team in developer support at Sony Computer Entertainment America, is scheduled to discuss PlayStation Move development at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in early March. According to an online description of his talk, he will focus in part on a new Move Server project at Sony.
"We will discuss the new Move Server project that will make it possible for academics and hobbyists to develop software using the PlayStation Move controller on their own PCs," the description reads.
Exactly what that might mean for gamers is unknown. So far, Sony hasn't confirmed that the Move Server project even exists. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sony PS 3: Sony moved 2.5 million PlayStation 3 Move controllers in first 30 days

With the console game market scoring depressingly low sales in recent months, Sony's announcement that it has shipped 2.5 million of its PlayStation 3 Move wireless controllers may be a welcomed reprieve from the relentless drumbeat of bad news.
The company said Thursday that it had shipped 1 million Move controllers in the U.S. and Canada, plus 1.5 million units in Europe, since launching the device Sept. 19. (Move has not yet launched in Asia.) The wireless device, which sells for $50 and up, lets players control their actions within video games by moving their arms, much like the Nintendo Wii remote.

Remember when motion-controlled games were simply for old people and children? (We kid!) However, Nintendo's marketing has rarely reached this level of aggression. Sony has launched a new website -- www.yaybuttons.com -- that plays hardball against Microsoft's button-free Kinect experience. By clicking any of the buttons on the virtual PlayStation Move controller, you'll be able to read through a rant from fictional PlayStation VP Kevin Butler:
