"With less money put into PR and holiday marketing, along with a lack of news that gamers want to hear, Sony could be at the top of a steep hill down. This might be Sony’s last generation in the games market." | Explosion.com
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
"All signs point to the hardware becoming less and less important to Microsoft."
Less innovation and competition. People act like if MS went away life would be better but it would just mean you have one less choice as to where to spend your money. If Sony became the defacto home console provider and Nintendo the handheld, then these companies could limit what you get and you would ultimately have very little choice but to support them if you want to play games.
I was a video that suggested that Steam could potentially get into the console market if Xbox ceases to exist. They already had the Steam Machine(?), and they have the Steam Deck for the portable market. I’m not in the pc space at all so I wouldn’t know if that would be a realistic statement.
No Xbox future I am going to guess Microsoft will go down the path Sega choose and be a publisher/game developer with their in house studios. Or sell off their in house studios and just go back to making os for PC's. I highly doubt the second part. Microsoft like any company wants to make money. So if Microsoft did say pull the plug on Xbox I see them going down the path Sega went. And utilize Xbox as a brand and not just as a console. I can see the name of XBox being mainly a brand after that. And maybe with the game you see published by or developed by Xbox studios.
Sony isn't dead when it comes to gaming.We can expect many changes within the company spending wise.Sony just needs to cut down in some departments and rebuild.
I think the media needs a slap. HARD.
The amount of bullshit aimed at sony this gen is unreal.
Right a lot of publications are missing the other side when it comes to laying off half the PR team. It could be an indication of Sony moving to the next generation. Why have the crap part launch a new system (considering the PR department hasn't been good this generation).
"The lackluster sales of all of their current-generation systems may have pushed them into a rut that discourages their continued involvement in the games industry. Sony hasn’t always focused on gaming: cameras, HD televisions, and those archaic things called ‘CD players’ used to be their main industry."
This is rubbish as the gaming division is one of it strongest divisions and I wouldn't say the PS3 didn't sell well.
"It would explain why they insist on keeping the price of their systems high and why they have not revealed more details about the sequel to their current console"
Keeping the price is an attempt to make a larger profit off their new PS3 before jumping into the next generation (as the PS3 will take a hit when it comes to the PS4 announcement)
"I picked up a B.A. in English with a specialty in Poetry" again no business background so stay out of analysing Sony's business. You do not see this in any other types of journalism.
Will this be your last(fan boy driven, flame-bait) article?
It seems that actually journalism has gone by the way side.
Gotta love the influx of ridiculous flamebait articles involving Sony over the last few weeks. Sony isn't going anywhere scrubs.
