Entertainment history is about to be made with the first scripted TV series debuting on a video game console.

Sony is about to release its first TV series on PlayStation, the entertainment giant's video game division.

Since this year's New York Comic Con and more announcements made this week, the debut of Sony's scripted TV series on PlayStation and the anticipation of it all has reached fever pitch. This might be a match made in heaven: the TV series is titled "Powers," which is based off a comic book of the same name. So this is a collaboration and crossover of a comic book-to-TV adaptation on to a video game platform.

Sony is about to compete in the online entertainment streaming business with Netflix and Amazon. It has been reported that "Powers" could be a big boost for the company's membership, as well as for its users.

In other words, gamers–with their PlayStation Plus memberships of $50–could get more bang for their bucks, such as video game downloads, multiplayer models, PlayStation Store discounts and online storage across the PS4, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita systems, and now will have access to the show.

"Number one for us is to promote the PlayStation business and PlayStation Plus," John Koller, VP of platforms marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America, said. Koller is overseeing original programming for Sony.

"There's a financial and marketing win in launching "Powers" the right way," he added.

The writers and creators behind the comic book "Powers" are also serving as executive producers of the PlayStation mini-series. Legendary comic book scribe Brian Michael Bendis is enthusiastic about "Powers." Bendis stated in an interview with Comic Book Resources that he is thrilled the show is happening against all odds.

"You don't get a lot of do-overs in show business. That's not how it works," Bendis said. "So having just experienced that one thing that all creators kinds of hope for, that one day you get to take the big stage, show your thing, and people like it has been amazing."

Bendis understands the reach and influence of comic book fans and video gamers. Bendis says "it feels right," and "there's a huge overlap between comic book fans and gamers," Variety reported.

The journey of "Powers" coming to TV has not been an easy one.

Back in 2000, Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming had just kicked off the creator-owned ongoing series "Powers" with Image Comics, and then it moved to Marvel Comics' Icon imprint by 2004, Comic Book Resources reported. "Powers" has a decade long existence.

"Powers" the comic book series, which will be the model for the series, is about the lives and investigations of homicide detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim. The twist is they examine specific murder cases that involve people with superpowers. Walker used to be a superhero named Diamond, but when he lost his powers he became a cop. The comic book series is still going strong, Comic Book Resources reported.

While the TV series will follow the characters of Walker and Pilgrim as detectives, the comic book series already has the characters as FBI agents, with an impending and explosive conclusion coming up, Comic Book Resources reported.

Do not expect that the "Powers" TV series to be too close to the comic book. Bendis, creator and executive producer for the show, says that there are ideas, themes and characters behind the comic book that could be done in both mediums.

"Overall though, I'm not interested in a faithful adaptation. I've got the books," Bendis said, "I want to see something else. My wife had pointed out that 'Dexter' had a very similar trajectory; the books were one thing and the shows were another. That sounds fantastic to me, and that's the way we've gone," Comic Book Resources reported.

The "Powers" TV show cast include stars such as Sharlto Copley ("District 9" and "Elysium") playing the character of Walker, along with Eddie Izzard ("Hannibal" and "The Good Wife"), Noah Taylor, Susan Heyward, and Michelle Forbes.

The series is expected to debut as early as this winter. And the first two episodes will be directed by David Slade ("Game of Thrones"). The mini-series will have 10 hour long episodes, Variety reported. The actual budget for the TV series has not been confirmed, but it is expected to be somewhere in the range of $2 million per episode, which is on par with most prime-time cable series budgets.
