Area 51 Grand Opening

The PlayStation 3 is the third video game console of the PlayStation brand from Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the successor to the highly successful PlayStation 2. The PlayStation 3 competes with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles. Sony officially unveiled the PlayStation 3 to the public on May 16, 2005, during the 2005 E3 conference.

The console was released on November 11, 2006, in Japan; November 17, 2006, in the United States. In response to Microsoft’s Xbox Live network, Sony announced a unified online service for the PlayStation 3 console in 2006. Sony has confirmed that the service will be always connected, free and include multiplayer support. The PS3’s 3.2 GHz Cell processor, developed jointly by Sony, Toshiba and IBM, is an implementation to dynamically assign physical processor cores to do different types of work independently.

Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3,but it competes with both as part of the seventh generation of gaming systems. A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect motion and rotation in three dimensions. Another is WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while in standby mode.

Nintendo first mentioned the console at the 2004 E3 press conference and later unveiled the system at the 2005 E3. In the 2006 E3, the console won the first of several awards.By December 8, 2006, it completed its launch in four key markets.

The Xbox 360 is a video game console produced by Microsoft, developed in cooperation with IBM, ATI, Samsung, and SiS. Its Xbox Live service allows players to compete online and download arcade games and content such as game demos, trailers, TV shows, music videos, or rented movies. The Xbox 360 is the successor to the Xbox, and it competes with Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii as part of the seventh generation of gaming systems.

The Xbox 360 was officially unveiled on MTV on May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and game information divulged later that month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. It is the first console to provide near-simultaneous launch across the three major regions, and to provide wireless controller support at launch. The console sold out completely at release and by end of 2006 had shipped 10.4 million units worldwide.
