Sony Corporation Annual Report 2001

TOPICS: GAME
The PS one home-use game
console.
In March 2001, SCE launched
this mobile phone connecting
cable in Japan. With this cable,
PlayStation consoles and i-mode
handsets can be connected to
enjoy certain software titles.
Shown here is a scene from
Gran
Turismo 3 A-spec
, a PlayStation 2
title released in Japan in April
2001. This software makes use
of the system’s sophisticated
image processing capabilities to
generate high-resolution graphics
and vehicle handling which is
almost exactly like the move-
ments of an actual racing car.
This software made a big hit, with
more than 1 million units shipped
in its first 3 days of release.
This image comes from
i-mode
mo issho
, appendix disk released
in Japan in May 2001. This title is
used with the
Dokodemo-issho
game developed for SCE’s
PocketStation. Compatible with
SCE’s mobile phone connection
cable that went on sale in March
2001, this software lets people
communicate with other players
and even game characters using
handsets compatible with NTT
DoCoMo’s i-mode service.
SCE’s semiconductor production
facilities Fab1 and Fab2.
