Sony’s Andrew House hints at more social networking for PS3

PlayStation Home not “social” enough for you? Fret not PS3 users (or soon-to-be PS3 users), ’cause Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head Andrew House has recently dropped a not so subtle hint that some more traditional social network features are on their way to the console. While he obviously didn’t get too specific, House did tell the Financial Times that Sony has plans for more social networking features, and apparently wouldn’t rule out a partnership with “popular sites such as Facebook,” much like Microsoft has already announced for the Xbox 360. In PS3 price-cut news, House also noted that Sony is indeed aware that “consumers are watching their euros and pounds more carefully than before,” but added that “it would not be fair to say this is a reaction to current market conditions.”
