Is it true that PlayStation is owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment?
Yes. A reference source states that Sony Interactive Entertainment primarily operates the PlayStation brand of video game consoles and products, which directly supports the claim. Several other items attribute PlayStation to Sony Computer Entertainment, SIE's predecessor entity, and one identifies Jim Ryan as CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment in a PlayStation context.
