E3 2011: The PlayStation-maker throws a coming-out party for its new portable and touts its latest PS3 wares.
LOS ANGELES–This year, Sony is the second of the “Big Three” to hold its Electronic Entertainment Expo press briefing, coming after Microsoft on Monday
and before Nintendo’s Tuesday morning conference. As is the case every year, the electronics giant will use its event to talk up all things PlayStation, from the four-and a-half-year-old PlayStation 3 to its new portable, tentatively called the NGP.
Sony’s handheld will be of particular interest at this year’s event, where the company is expected to rechristen it the “PlayStation Vita.” Gamers who have been following the NGP since it was unveiled in late January are also hoping for more details about the portable, particularly its price and launch date. New information on its multimedia functionality and other features is likely in the cards as well.
As for the PlayStation 3, the console has some major exclusives that are likely to make an appearance, such as Twisted Metal, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Resistance 3, and Uncharted 3. Also, expect some major mea culpas from Sony for the PlayStation Network outage, which was finally resolved last week with the restoration of the PlayStation Store.
Sony’s E3 2011 press conference will begin at 5:00 p.m. PDT Monday, June 6. GameSpot will be live-streaming video of the event.
