Capcom getting its own beach front property on the PSN

[Elandyll]

Well, figuratively speaking

Capcom will be the first publisher (more would probably follow suite) to get their own category in the PSN, starting in November.
Would this augure of a closer relationship between Sony and Capcom? Who knows, for now, it's all about advertising content on the PSN

Capcom will be the first publisher to get its own publisher-specific storefront on Sony's PS Store on PS3.


The Capcom storefront will launch in November, sporting a slick grey background with Street Fighter, Mega Man and Bionic Commando images around the outside, as seen in this image.

“Out of all of the third-party companies making use of the digital space, [Sony] recognizes Capcom is one of the best partners for content,” said John Diamonon, product manager of Capcom digital titles, adding: “We're supporting PlayStation Network like no other company.”

Other publishers are likely to take advantage of the publisher-specific storefront feature in the near future,

Capcom's Christian Svensson, VP of business development and strategic planning is full of praise for PSN. He told Edge Online: “Sony's taking advantage of--in a very real way--one of the benefits of digital, in that there are multiple ways to sort, search and put things in front of people. In a physical store, that physical object can only exist in one physical space.

“With digital, that object can be highlighted in about 20 different ways. I think Sony is first to recognize that. The more opportunities that someone has a chance to see or be exposed to our content… the more likely it is that someone will give a Capcom title a shot.”
