Imfihlakalo ye-PS3 Games
Izindaba ziphumile: i-PS3 games console izokwethulwa ngasikhathi sinye emhlabeni wonke ngoNovemba 2006. Kepha yize kunohlelo olukhulu lomhlaba wonke lokwethulwa kwe-PS3 games console, kunokungabaza ngomthelela wayo emakethe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abahlaziyi bemidlalo bayangabaza ukuthi lokhu kwethulwa komhlaba wonke kungasiza abakwaSony ukuthi baphinde bathole imakethe elahlekile ngenxa yokukhishwa kwangaphambilini kwe-Xbox 360 ye-Microsoft. Kunokucabanga okuningi ukuthi kungani ukwethulwa okusha kwe-ps3 kuqhubeka ukubambezeleka.
Yize abakwaSony bethi ukubambezeleka kubangelwe ukuphathwa kwamalungelo edijithali noma izinkinga ze-DRM, abahlaziyi abaningi bakholelwa ngenye indlela. Abahlaziyi bafaka izingqinamba eziningi njengezizathu zokubambezeleka kokuqaliswa kwemidlalo ye-PS3. U-Eiichi Katayama, umhlaziyi ovela eTokyo-based Nomura Securities ‘Financial & Economic Research, uphakamisa ukuthi ukubambezeleka kungenzeka kubangelwe ukuqhubeka kancane kokuthuthukiswa kwe-graphics chip. Abanye banikeza izizathu ezinjengokwenele kwezihloko zesoftware ezifanele. Kodwa-ke, abakwaSony bayashesha ukuwachitha la mahemuhemu baphinde baphinda inkinga ye-DRM ye-Blu-ray optical drive yabo.
Amashipsi we-Blu-ray ahlinzeka ikhonsoli entsha ngomthamo wesitoreji osusekayo we-PS3 omkhulu ngokuphindwe kahlanu kunesitoreji esinikezwa ngama-DVD ezincoko ezindala. Imibiko yokuthi isici se-PS3 se-Blu-ray ne-DRM cishe sesiphelile kubenza babe yizimbangela ezingalindelekile zokubambezeleka. Ngokusho kukaKatayama, umaka weROM kanye namalayisense e-BD + asevele eqalile okwenza ubuchwepheshe bokuvikela ikhophi kube yisizathu esingenakuphikiswa. Abahlaziyi bakholelwa ukuthi uma ubuchwepheshe be-DRM budala ngempela ukubambezeleka, inzuzo evela kukhonsoli yemidlalo yePS3 ibingeke ihlupheke kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, uma izizathu zinjengoba zikholelwa - ukuthuthukiswa kwe-chip chip - umthelela wokuthengisa kungenzeka ube mubi kakhulu emlandweni wakwaSony.
AbakwaSony baphikisana nesilinganiso sabahlaziyi futhi bayakuphika ukuthi ukubambezeleka kusethe i-PS3 games console nenkampani kusimo esingesihle ngemuva kweMicrosoft neXbox 360. I-Xbox 360 yangena ezitolo ngonyaka odlule futhi iseyikhonsoli ephezulu yemidlalo ngokusho kwemikhuba yezimakethe. UJennie Kong, umphathi we-PR wegatsha lakwaSony eYurophu, uvikela isu lale nkampani futhi uthi le nkampani ayivumi ukulawulwa yizimbangi zabo. Kodwa-ke, umlando uyayisekela imibono yabahlaziyi ngalolu daba. Kungakhumbula ukuthi iMicrosoft neSony bake babhekana nesimo esifanayo, kulokhu kuphela, uSony unenzuzo ngokukhishwa kwangaphambilini kwePS2 yabo ngeXbox yokuqala. Ukuhlaziywa Kwamanje ‘USteve Kovsky ukhumbuza ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi, iMicrosoft yalahlekelwa kakhulu; Ngokusobala, abakwaSony benzelwe isiphetho esifanayo nePS3.
Uma u-sony ecindezela ukwethulwa kukaNovemba 2006, kunika i-Xbox 360 ithuba lokuthengisa ngonyaka ogcwele. Kodwa-ke, inkinga ye-PS3 yemidlalo ye-franchise ayigcini ngokulibaziseka kokuqaliswa. Amahlebezi nezindaba kusatshalaliswa ukuthi ngisho nangaphambi kokwethulwa kwe-console yayo yomdlalo, abakwaSony bahlela ukukwenqabela ukuthengiswa kwayo kabusha. Imithombo ehlukile ithi abakwaSony bahlela ukuthengisa amakhonsoli amasha ngamalayisense abo. Lokhu kuvimbela ngempumelelo ukuthengiswa kwamasekeni mathupha noma ezitolo eziku-inthanethi njenge-http: //Amazon.com ne-http: //eBay.com. Ngamafuphi, abathengi bathenga kuphela ilayisense lokusebenzisa induduzo; AbakwaSony basaphethe ubunikazi bomkhiqizo. Abahlaziyi bemidlalo baphawula ukuthi lokhu kungukuhamba okunengqondo, uma kufakazelwa kuyiqiniso. AbakwaSony bazodinga konke ukuphusha okungadingeka ukuthi bandise ukuthengiswa kwamayunithi ngamanye we-PS3.
Le nkampani iyakugwema ukuphawula ngezinsolo zokuthi ayikho ilayisense. Baqhubeka nokuthi zonke izimemezelo ezibalulekile zenziwe ngesikhathi sombukiso wezohwebo we-E3 futhi zonke ezinye izimemezelo zizokwenziwa ekwethulweni kwe-PS3 games console. Lesi simemezelo, esikhundleni sokumisa isigcwagcwa siqinisa umlilo kuphela. Kodwa njengoba kunjalo, akukho lutho abadlali abangalwenza ngaphandle kokudlala imidlalo yabo ye-PS3 bese ulinda.
