Sony: Current games unable to use Playstation 3’s full potential

Sony has failed to impress the gamers with their recently launched next generation gaming console Playstation 3. Experts believe that Xbox 360 more or less match the graphical capabilities of the PS3 console.

However, Sony has said that the current generation games fail to utilize the full capabilities of the PS3’s potential. Sony CEO Howard Stringer claimed that the available games in the market are barely using 25% of the system’s “bandwidth”.

He further said that the company believes that they can break even on the Playstation 3 console’s cost by the end of the current year.

He said: “We’re now very comfortable with our research program for PlayStation 3, which one researcher recently described as the Mercedes of games players, for obvious reasons. The million is more than we delivered of PlayStation 2 so, for all the anxiety, I think PlayStation 3 is well on the way to living up to that promise. That’s a good sign.”

He added on current generation of games: “Lost in the shuffle is the fact that the current games that are out there are only using about 20 percent to 25 percent of the [console's] bandwidth. Once the publishers’ excitement reaches a level of intensity that they start using more of the bandwidth that will create additional excitement.”
