Nach elf überaus erfolgreichen Jahren und über 100 Millionen verkauften Exemplaren hat Sony das Ende der Playstation-Produktion verkündet.

Despite the news, Sony representatives noted today that the end of production does not necessarily mean the end of availability. PS hardware and software are still selling in countries around the world.

Even if original PlayStation systems and games are becoming slim pickings in the US, gamers likely won't be going without for long. As part of its PlayStation Business Briefing 2006, Sony last week announced that it is working on an emulator that would allow gamers to play PS titles on the PSP. Details haven't been released yet, but Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi said the games would be digitally distributed.

Geplant ist aber ein Emulator, welcher die alten Spiele auf der PSP zum Laufen bringen soll. Wenigstens etwas, was übrig bleibt.
