Sony's new online service connecting the whole range of its gadgets to downloadable content like movies and games should help build brand loyalty, a top executive said Friday.
Executive Vice President Kazuo Hirai said the service, set for launch next year, highlights an advantage that Sony has over rivals like Samsung Electronics Co. and other manufacturers that don't produce their own content. Sony's business empire spans gaming, electronics, movies and music.

The newest version of Nintendo's popular handheld game console, with its large screen that's easier on the eyes and bigger stylus similar to an ordinary pen, has led some to assume it is intended to lure older gamers.
But the company's president said Friday the new Nintendo DS is designed to let small groups gather around a single device, watching and participating in game play. This would be a dramatic change -- gaming on portable consoles, a popular category that also includes the rival PlayStation Portable from Sony, has until now been a private affair.
El primer ministro japonés, Yukio Hatoyama, no declaró al fisco 72 millones de yenes (542.851 euros) que había ganado en la bolsa en 2008, según ha admitido su portavoz.

Boredom, not the recession, may be Nintendo's biggest villain.
Sales of the once unstoppable Wii console have tumbled for the first time since its launch three years ago, sending the gaming giant's quarterly profit down 61 percent.
Nintendo blames a dearth of blockbuster games, without which enthusiasm for the Wii floundered.
"These casual gamers and light users, they're getting bored," said Satoru Kikuchi, an analyst at Deutsche Securities in Japan. "Nintendo needs to keep their attention with new software, but that hasn't happened."
