Sony Consoles Getting Slew of New Titles

Over 100 first- and third-party PS3, PSP and PlayStation 2 titles will launch during the next few months, promises Sony.

PlayStation fans will be able to get their hands on a lot more games in the coming months, promises Sony. The Foster City, Calif.-based company said today it will launch more than 100 titles for its PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation2 products. The beefed-up second-quarter of 2007 line-up will comprise industry leading franchises as well as new intellectual properties from both in-house and third parties, according to Sony Computer Entertainment America.

“We are excited by the content being developed by our partners, but are also looking forward to launching PlayStation-branded exclusive games created by our own worldwide studios this quarter and throughout the rest of 2007," said Peter Dille, senior vice president of marketing at SCEA in a statement.

The product launch announcement comes just days after Sony canceled the 20 GB edition of its PlayStation 3 game console. In addition to being available via retail outlets, SCEA said it will continue to enable customers to download games for the PS3 product.
