Stressing the key role that the PlayStation Network will play in Sony's ten-year plan for the PS3, House also told the Financial Times that the company plans to make more social networking features available to owners of its flagship console.

"The goal is to move from a traditional short, toy-based life cycle to a longer, consumer electronics life cycle. The network allows us to give customers a better sense of value and continuous improvement," he said.
