Sony Corp. next week will showcase game titles for the Playstation 3 computer entertainment system at CES 2008 in Las Vegas, NV, including the innovative offering LittleBigPlanet.
The official Sony CES 2008 website features LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and the Playstation Eye as products to be displayed at the annual consumer electronics show. LittleBigPlanet was last displayed in July 2007 at the E3 Media & Business Summit 2007 in Santa Monica, CA. The title will allow players to explore and solve puzzles, and share modified levels with Playstation Network members. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is an action adventure title released in Nov. 2007. The title is an original IP that allows players to blast enemies and explore exotic locations. The Playstation Eye is a USB camera peripheral launched with the title The Eye of Judgment in Oct. 2007. A software set called EyeCreate was released to the Playstation Network to allow users to create and share videos. To date, PS3 sales have been lower-than-expected due to average game library and high retail cost. The hardware has shipped more than five million units worldwide compared to Nintendo Co.’s Wii at 13.2 million units and Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360 at 13.4 million units. Sony in Oct. recorded a 96.7 billion yen loss in the game division that was offset by a quarterly profit from strong electronics sales.
