Uhlelo lwangempela lukaSony bekungukuveza i-playstation 3 yayo entsha eJapan kule ntwasahlobo, kodwa ngenxa yobunzima obuphathelene nezinhlelo zayo zokukhiqiza, kubonakala sengathi iJapan ngeke ilibone iPS3 entsha kuze kube ngu-Agasti. Enye yezinkinga ezinkulu zokukhiqiza ihlobene ne-Blu-ray Disc drive kukhonsoli ngayinye.

Ngokusho kwesikhulumi sakwaSony, inkampani ilinde imininingwane ebekiwe yokugcina ngobunye ubuchwepheshe obusetshenziswa kuPS3, obandakanya iBlu-ray drive kanye ne-input and output video nomsindo.

Isitoko sakwaSony sithathe into ngoMsombuluko ngemuva kokuthi uMerrill Lynch ekhiphe inothi yocwaningo ngesonto eledlule eliveze ukuthi ukwethulwa kwePS3 kungahlehliswa izinyanga eziyisithupha kuya kweziyishumi nambili, nokuthi izindleko zezinto ezisetshenzisiwe ekukhiqizeni ikhonsoli zingaba cishe ngama- $ 900 ngeyunithi ngayinye ekuqaleni.

U-Yuta Sakurai, umhlaziyi omkhulu kwa-Nomura Securities, ulinganisela ukuthi intengo yale yunithi ingaba cishe ngama-yen angama-50 000, okungaba ngama- $ 420. ‘Angicabangi ukuthi kubalulekile uma uSony ethula eMelika inqobo nje uma kuyisikhathi sikaKhisimusi,’ engeza.

USakurai ulindele ukuthi abakwaSony bahlose ukwethulwa ekuqaleni kwehlobo, okungaba yisikhathi sonyaka omkhulu wokuthengisa cishe ngoJulayi, okuyilapho izikole ziseholidini.

Kuncane okwaziwayo ngokuqinisekile nge-PS3 njengamanje. Ukulinganiswa kwentengo ngabahlaziyi eJapan kuyahlukahluka kakhulu, kusuka kuma-yen angama-40,000 kuye kwangama-300,000. ikhonsoli izovumela abadlali abangafika kwabayisikhombisa ukuthi badlale ngasikhathi sinye, futhi izonikwa amandla yi-chip ‘yeSeli’, enamandla kakhulu kune-Intel’s Pentium 4.

Ezinye izinto zifaka phakathi i-chip chip ethuthukisiwe, imbobo ye-Ethernet eyakhelwe ngaphakathi, neBlu-ray, okuyifomethi ye-DVD yesizukulwane esilandelayo esekelwa ngabakwaSony.

Njengoba imininingwane yezobuchwepheshe yePS3 ibambezeleka, abathuthukisi bemidlalo baphoqeleka ukuthi bathuthukise imidlalo ngokuqagela. ‘Abenzi bemidlalo bathuthukisa imidlalo ngokuya ngokuqagela kwabo ukuthi izincazelo zokugcina zingaba yini,’ kusho umhlaziyi we-BNP Paribas, uTakeshi Tajima.

I-PS3 yakwaSony izoncintisana nezinto ezithandwa yi-Xbox360 ne-Nintendo’s Revolution console, okulindeleke ukuthi ikhishwe ngasekupheleni konyaka.
