Sony chief information officer, Shinji Hasejima made an astounding and disturbing admission in the Tokyo press conference: the company was fully aware of the "vulnerabilities" in PlayStation Network.
Hasejima stated: "The vulnerability of the network was a known vulnerability, one known of in the world. But Sony was not aware of it... was not convinced of it. We are now trying to improve aspects of it."
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.
Title is a bit misleading....he said that the world knew of it, but that they didn't.
of course it was know to the world, or else it would have never happened. Sony didnt know much about it tho. Its not like someone told them all about this hack and the ignored it. Kinda confusing when they say not "convinced" tho. Seems like they didnt understand how it could effect them.
This is nothing we already didnt know. Hackers knew about it, sony did not know much. Thats why it happened.
My CC ifo is safe, I just want them to bring PSN back up. My friends already beat dungeon hunter without me :(
edit- below Yeah, I started playing it with them while I was at their house, but they later played when I was at home. I wanted to play over PSN with them from my house. Dungeon hunter may be very generic(the mage looks %100 like gabriel from C:LOS), but its a good game and is alot of fun with friends.
i feel bad for people who have other systems and aren't here for playstation news, because that's all we've gotten for like the past month or so really.
anonymous, hackers...psn down...
interesting news and all but not for other people
Ouch! Someone is for the chop.
'...Not convinced of it.' ?
Whoever told them is wasn't an issue is going to get their arse handed back to them.
I hope this (at least part)admission of guilt doesn't open them up to every sue happy idiot out to make a quick buck.
Dear Sony....Get well soon x
Lol, so basically sony knew that there were possible security threats, anonymous even issued them a warning. How useless can one company be, honestly. They deserve harsh punishments for what they have allowed to happen to their consumers. I think the lack of action of their part is a testament to the fact that sony has zero regard for their supporters; they only want your money.
