Kaz Hirai promises 380 new PS3 titles this year
Sony has upped their target title output for their next gen PS3 video game console. Earlier reports from last month’s Gamers Day have pegged Sony’s target at 90 third-party titles and 15 exclusives for the PS3.
According to a report from Reuters, Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) President Kazuo Hirai was quoted by the Nikkei business daily as saying that Sony is now looking to release 200 software titles and 180 download-only titles for the PS3 from now until March of next year.
There are currently around 130 software and download-only titles available for the PS3. Sony is hoping that an influx of new titles will help pull up PS3 sales. Sony Chief Executive Howard Stringer also stressed the importance of attractive game software as “the key to accelerate PS3 growth over the next year” during the annual shareholders’ meeting Thursday.
In the Nikkei interview, Hirai reportedly said that Sony would also be working with video game publishers on marketing their titles to help ensure good sales. This would include events and in-store promos.
