CONTENT DEVELOPERS, PUBLISHERS, SOFTWARE TOOL MAKERS GATHER TO SUPPORT PLAYSTATION(r)2

MORE THAN 200 COMPANIES WORLDWIDE ANNOUNCE SUPPORT FOR 
NEW COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT PLATFORM


TOKYO, September 13 1999 - Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today revealed massive 
third party support for its new computer entertainment platform, PlayStation2.  The long list of 
companies includes not only prominent game publishers currently supporting the PlayStation, but 
also famous names from a wide range of entertainment fields.  (See attached 3rd party support list.)  
This expansive support exceeds that of the launch of the original PlayStation, whose success has 
been due in great part to the broad variety of third party content available for the platform.

In Japan, where the system is set to debut on March 4, 2000, 89 publishers have signed license 
agreements to develop content for PlayStation2.  46 North American companies and 27 European 
companies have signed letters of intent in preparation for the overseas launch of PlayStation2 in 
Fall, 2000.

Interest is also strong among tool and middleware developers, with 45 companies indicating strong 
support.  In addition to the software development libraries supplied by SCEI, the crucial tools and 
middleware these companies bring to the platform ensure an environment in which software 
developers can create the very best entertainment content for PlayStation2.
