PlayStation 3 Logo — PlayStation 3 (also known as PS3) is the third video game console manufactured by Sony Computer Entertainment and successor to the PlayStation 2 as part of the brand PlayStation. The PlayStation 3 competes against the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and Wii of Nintendo as part of the seventh generation of video. An important feature that distinguishes the PlayStation 3 from its predecessors is its unified service for online gaming, the PlayStation Network, which contrasts with Sony’s previous policy of relying on game developers to play online.
