PlayStation TV set for N. America release

SONY Corp announced it’s bringing new installments of the popular video-game franchises “Uncharted” and “LittleBigPlanet” to the PlayStation 4 as it celebrated the game console’s marketplace triumph.

Sony also premiered “Abzu,” an undersea odyssey from the creators of the award-winning “Journey,” and “Entwined,” a psychedelic 3D flying game.

On the hardware side, the company said it will bring PlayStation TV, its video- and game-streaming device, to North America and Europe this fall. The US$99 device lets users stream video, older PlayStation titles and games for Sony’s hand-held Vita system to any TV. The “micro-console,” which debuted in November in Japan as PSVita TV, also lets PlayStation 4 players send the action to a second TV.

On July 31, Sony will launch the open beta of its cloud-based PlayStation Now service, which will allow players to stream classic games from Sony’s older consoles onto newer devices such as the PS4, the hand-held Vita, Xperia cellphones and Bravia TVs.
