Imfihlakalo yeMidlalo yePS3
Iindaba ziyaphuma: ikhonsoli yemidlalo yePS3 iza kuphehlelelwa ngaxeshanye kwihlabathi liphela ngoNovemba ka-2006. Kodwa ngaphandle kwesicwangciso esikhulu sokuqaliswa komdlalo wePS3, kukho amathandabuzo malunga nefuthe lawo kwintengiso. Ngapha koko, abahlalutyi bemidlalo bayathandabuza ukuba ukumiliselwa kwehlabathi kunganceda u-Sony ukuba abuyise kwakhona imakethi elahlekileyo ngenxa yokukhululwa kwangaphambili kwe-Xbox ye-Microsoft ka-Microsoft. Kukwakho nezinto ezininzi ezithelekelelayo zokuba kutheni ukwaziswa kwePS3 okutsha kuqhubeka ukulibaziseka.
Nangona u-Sony ebanga ukuba ukulibaziseka kungenxa yolawulo lwamalungelo edijithali okanye iingxaki ze-DRM, abahlalutyi abaninzi bakholelwa ngenye indlela. Abahlalutyi bafaka imiba engxamisekileyo njengezizathu zokulibaziseka kokuqaliswa kwemidlalo ye-Ps3. U-Eiichi Katayama, umhlalutyi ovela e-Tokyo-based Nomura Securities ‘Financial & Economic Research, ucebisa ukuba ulibaziseko mhlawumbi lubangelwa yinkqubela phambili ecothayo yophuhliso lwe chip chip. Abanye banika izizathu ezinjengokusilela kwezihloko ezifanelekileyo zesoftware. Nangona kunjalo, uSony uyakhawuleza ukuwagxotha la marhe kwaye waphinda wathi ingxaki ye-DRM ye-Blu-ray optical drive yabo.
Iitshipsi ze-Blu-ray zibonelela ngekhonsoli entsha enesimo sokugcina esinokukhutshwa sePS3 esikhulukazi esiphindwe kahlanu kunokugcina esinikwa ziiDVD zeekhonsoli ezindala. Iingxelo zokuba i-PS3 ye-Blu-ray kunye ne-DRM ziphantse zagqitywa zibenza kungalindelekanga ukuba zibangele ukulibaziseka. NgokukaKatayama, uphawu lweROM kunye nelayisensi ye-BD + sele iqalile eyenza ikopi yetekhnoloji yokukhusela isizathu esingathandekiyo. Abahlalutyi bakholelwa ukuba itekhnoloji ye-DRM ibangela ukulibaziseka, inzuzo evela kwi-PS3 imidlalo yeconsole ayizukuhlupheka kakhulu. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba izizathu zinje ngokukholelwa-ukuphuculwa kwemizobo ye-chip- impembelelo yentengiso inokuba yeyona imbi kwimbali kaSony.
AbakwaSony baphikisana nemilinganiselo yabahlalutyi kwaye bayaphika ukuba ukulibaziseka kusete i-PS3 imidlalo yekhonsoli kunye nenkampani engalunganga emva kweMicrosoft kunye neXbox 360.I-Xbox 360 yangena ezivenkileni kulo nyaka uphelileyo kwaye iseyindawo yokudlala ephezulu ngokuhambelana nemarike. UJennie Kong, umphathi we-PR kwisebe laseYurophu eSony, ukhusela ubuchule benkampani kwaye ubanga ukuba inkampani ayivumeli ukuba inyanzeliswe ziintshukumo zabo bakhuphisana nabo. Nangona kunjalo, imbali iyazixhasa izimvo zabahlalutyi ngalo mbandela. Kungakhunjulwa ukuba iMicrosoft kunye no-Sony bake bajongana nemeko efanayo, ngeli xesha kuphela, uSony unethuba lokukhululwa kwangoko kwePS2 yabo ngaphezulu kweXbox yokuqala. Uhlalutyo lwangoku ‘uSteve Kovsky ukhumbuza ukuba ngelo xesha, iMicrosoft yeza nelahleko enkulu; Ngokucacileyo, uSony ucwangciselwe imeko efanayo nePS3.
Ukuba u-Sony utyhala ngokusungulwa kukaNovemba 2006, inika i-Xbox 360 ithuba lokuthengisa elipheleleyo ngonyaka. Nangona kunjalo, imidlalo ye-PS3 ingxaki ye-franchise ayipheli ngokulibaziseka kokuqaliswa. Amarhe kunye neendaba ziyajikeleza ukuba nangaphambi kokuba iphehlelelwe ngumdlalo, uSony uceba ukukhupha umva ngokuthengisa kwakhona. Imithombo eyahlukeneyo ibanga ukuba u-sony uceba ukuthengisa ii-consoles ezintsha ngeelayisensi zabo. Oku kuthintela ngokufanelekileyo ukuthengiswa kwesekondari kumntu okanye kwiivenkile ezikwi-intanethi ezinje nge-http: //Amazon.com kunye ne-http: // eBeBay.com. Ngokwenene, abathengi bathenga kuphela iphepha-mvume lokusebenzisa ii-consoles; USony usabambe ubunini bemveliso. Abahlalutyi bomdlalo bathi le yintshukumo enengqiqo, ukuba iyinyani. AbakwaSony bayakufuna konke ukutyhala kunokuba nokunyusa ukuthengiswa kweiyunithi zePS3 ezizodwa.
Inkampani iyayeka ukwenza izimvo malunga nezityholo akukho layisensi. Bayagcina ukuba zonke izibhengezo ezibalulekileyo zenziwe ngexesha lomboniso wezorhwebo we-E3 kwaye zonke ezinye izibhengezo ziya kwenziwa kulwaziso lweemidlalo zePS3. Esi sibhengezo, endaweni yokumisa kumarhe okugubungela umlilo kuphela. Kodwa njengokuba kunjalo, akukho nto abadlali abanokuyenza ngaphandle kokudlala imidlalo yabo ye-PS3 kwaye ulinde.
