New Sony Service As a Tool For PS3

ps3 vs. xboxSony, after being accused by Microsoft’s Christ Satchell of not “giving time and effort to their online space”, is brewing up something that may put an end to that argument. Sony Online Entertainment in July will debut a service with a working title “Station Launcher” which will provide users access to several of its online PC games.

Station Launcher will also combine lists of players’ friends from a variety of the company’s games, support chat and provide downloads of new game content and trinkets. Also, it will offer a single point where players can manage payments and link to other Sony-connected sites carrying player rankings and information. Initially, Station Launcher will connect users to Sony’s EverQuest, The Matrix Online, Star Wars Galaxies, PlanetSide and EverQuest II. The subscription plan costs $24.99.

But even with all these, the Sony Station Launcher is still an amorphous concept. If this is all that Sony can do to compete with Xbox Live, they may find themselves in serious trouble.
