PS2 Vision

Sony's Ken Kutaragi outlines his vision of a Playstation future. Speaking to EE Times about Sony decision to sell Playstation 2 chips to other manufacturers, Kutaragi explained how expanding the uses of the Playstation 2 format could vastly increase Sony's market share. "If the console remained just a Sony platform, there would be limits to its market penetration," said Kutaragi, "By opening the format, a new horizon will emerge. In the future, PlayStation 2 may be absorbed into TV sets and the game console may disappear."
