Sony seriously needed a new way to make their PS3 more appealing. Given Nintendo’s commercial success with the Wii, it only makes sense for Sony to make a move like this to try to boost revenue.

Sounds like a great idea and makes sense. After all more and more people are downloading stuff online. Videos and audio make a great way for Sony to cashin with their existing list of products and licences.

I actually think this is a good strategy for Sony. While Nintendo seemingly expands the gamer market, Sony appears to be trying to extend the PS3 as multimedia living room tech like originally planned; only this time, they’re upping the ante (think: new PS3 TiVo device).
