The entry of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) into the portable gaming market will help expand the sector to a wider range of users and help grow the market, an executive of Japan's Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) said Friday.
Just as Sony's entry into the console market with its PlayStation helped expand that area of gaming, the upcoming launch of the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and ensuing competition with Nintendo Co. Ltd. and its planned DS (Double Screen) portable player will be good for the industry, said Kazuya Watanabe, executive managing director of the CESA in an interview at the Tokyo Game Show. CESA is one of the show's organizers.
