Sony has lifted the lid on the games it hopes to release over the next 12 months, with 3D a key aspect of the new range.
At a press briefing at the E3 games expo, Sony outlined its plans for PlayStation 3 and its PSP handheld.
Sony said a recent software update had made all 35 million PlayStations sold 3D-ready.
The firm also announced details for its new motion controller, PlayStation Move.
The centrepiece of the launch was a demo from the upcoming Killzone 3, which Sony described as a “technological showpiece”. The fast-paced 3D action shooter was displayed on a giant screen.
Kazuo Hirai, Sony Computer Entertainments chairman, said the combination of 3D gaming and its new motion controller would result in “the closest thing you will ever experience to being in the game yourself.”
Sony also used its keynote briefing to demonstrate games for its motion-sensor control system, PlayStation Move, which goes on sale in Europe on the September 15, in North America on September 19, and in Japan on October 21.
The PlayStation Move wand and navigation controllers will be sold separately in the US for $49.99 and $29.99 respectively. They can also be bought together in a bundle which also includes the PS3 camera accessory and a game which makes use of the PlayStation Move interface, Sports Champions, for $99.99.
