EA, Nintendo & Sony Electronics: No longer on list of SOPA supporters | Ya no en la lista de partidarios de SOPA

[English]

The list of companies and organizations that support SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, keeps getting shorter. EA, Nintendo and Sony Electronics are no longer on the list.

While music divisions of Sony still remain on the list, Sony Electronics might have already decided to stay away from SOPA in advance due to any upcoming threats from Anonymous at its SCEA division. Yesterday, Anonymous posted a video on YouTube threatening Sony for its support of SOPA. The PlayStation Network was brought down by hackers and affected many users who depend on the service for online gaming. The latest list was updated in late November, according to Electronista, but it became known today that the mentioned companies dropped out of SOPA.

The proposed bill could hurt the Internet as we know it due to stricter rules affecting users who share videos and pictures and to services that host web sites. Companies, with consent from the U.S. Government, could shut down or block sites because of copyrighted materials on their services. Sites with no such material but link to them could also be shut down.

Will this be good enough for Sony Computer Entertainment to avoid another hacking attack to its PlayStation Network?

[Español]

La lista de empresas y organizaciones que apoyan a SOPA, acta contra la piratería en línea, es cada vez más corta. EA, Nintendo y Sony Electronics ya no se encuentran en la lista.

Mientras que las divisiones de música de Sony siguen en la lista, Sony Electronics podría haber decidido ya mantenerse alejado de SOPA con antelación debido a futuras amenazas de Anonymous a su división de SCEA. Ayer, Anonymous publicó un video en YouTube amenazando a Sony por su apoyo a SOPA. La red PlayStation fue derribada por los piratas informáticos y afectaron a muchos usuarios que dependen del servicio de juego online. La última lista fue actualizada a finales de noviembre, según Electronista, pero se supo hoy que las empresas mencionadas abandonaron SOPA.

El proyecto de ley podría perjudicar a la Internet como la conocemos debido a las estrictas normas que afectarían a los usuarios que comparten videos y fotos y a servicios que alojan sitios web. Empresas, con el consentimiento del gobierno de los EE.UU., podrían cerrar o bloquear los sitios debido a los materiales con copyright en sus servicios. Sitios que carecen de dicho material, pero tienen enlaces a las mismas también podrían ser cerradas.

¿Será esto lo suficiente para que Sony Computer Entertainment evite otro ataque informático a su PlayStation Network?

PS Vita games not among the top 30 in its 2nd week | Los juegos de PS Vita no entre los mejores 30 en su 2da semana

[English]

Sony’s newest portable gaming system didn’t get to keep up the high number of its first-week sales in its following week, and its titles experienced a similar fate as well.

According to Media Create, no PlayStation Vita title made it into the top 20 or 30 in the Japanese gaming market, but a few were able to make it on the top 50.

At 37, Everybody’s Golf 6 (aka Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational ) was the first PS Vita title in the list, followed by Uncharted at 40, Dynasty Warriors at 44, and Lord of Apocalypse in 49th.

[Español]

El nuevo sistema de juego portátil de Sony no llegó a mantener el alto número de ventas de su 1ra semana en su semana siguiente, y los títulos de aquella experimentaron un destino similar.

Según Media Create, ningun título PlayStation Vita llegó a estar en la lista de los mejores 20 ó 30 en el mercado de los juegos japoneses, pero unos pocos lograron estar entre los mejores 50.

En el puesto 37, Everybody’s Golf 6 fue el primer título de PlayStation Vita en la lista, seguido de Uncharted a los 40, Dynasty Warriors en el 44, y Lord of Apocalypse en 49.

PlayStation Vita sales drop 77.7% in its 2nd week | Las ventas del PlayStation Vita caen 77.7% en su 2da semana

[English]

The PlayStation Vita was the #2 console in terms of sales in its debut week, but Sony’s new portable wasn’t as successful, even against its older sibling, the PSP, the week after.

The sales of PS Vita went down by 77.7% from 324,859 units sold in its successful debut in 2nd place down to 72,486 in its second week. That number puts the system in fifth place, with the 3DS maintaining its comfortable lead.

The price of both models of the portable device in Japan could be the main reason for the second-week sales: the Wi-Fi model is 24,980 Yen ($320), and the 3G/Wi-Fi model is 29,980 Yen ($385).

The portable will make its North American debut on February 22 and the models will cost v

El PlayStation Vita fue la consola #2 en ventas en su primera semana, pero el nuevo portátil de Sony no fue tan exitosa, incluso en contra de su hermano mayor, la PSP, una semana después.

Las ventas de la PS Vita se redujo en un 77,7% de 324.859 unidades vendidas en su exitoso debut en 2 ª posición a 72.486 en su segunda semana. Esa cifra pone al sistema en el quinto lugar, con el 3DS manteniendo su cómoda ventaja.

El precio de ambos modelos del dispositivo portátil podría ser la razón principal de las ventas de la segunda semana:  el modelo Wi-Fi está a 24.980 yen ($320 dólares), y el modelo 3G/Wi-Fi a 29.980 yen ($385).

El portátil hará su debut norteamericano el 22 de febrero y los modelos costarán $249 (Wi-Fi) y $299 (3G/Wi-Fi).
