As it turns out, Sony actually shipped 500,000 PlayStation Vita units at launch. This new report, which runs contrary to earlier rumors of an intial shipment of 700,000 units, comes from IGDA Japan vice coordinator Kyoshi Shin in today's column for Nikkei.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
@ El_Barto. Does everyone on this site just repeat the same $hit over and over again. Since when does the VITA have to make a dent in the 3DS market. Nintendo fans will buy the 3DS no matter what.Do you think they care if the VITA is better or if it came out 10 years from now? Sony is going for the PlayStation crowd.Those people will buy the VITA. Do you think if Sony sells 75 million VITAs like with the PSP they will care as much as you think? $250 multiplied by 75 million equals Sony smiling all the way to the bank.
Just Sony aritifically inflating numbers. Just like counting free bundles as "sold" to inflate the numbers of games their first-party titles like Uncharted 2 to make it seem they sell as much as games like Gears.
Sadly, the NPD proved it otherwise just the other day.
The more news i hear about the vita the more i want it.
Ever since "the media" claimed Sony apologized for Vita problems, I haven't and will not believe a single word that these media outlets have to say about Vita. They could tell me that the Vita is a black handheld device that plays games and I wouldn't believe them. It's true, but I wouldn't believe them. That's how bad gaming journalism is these days. It's so far in the crapper it's not even funny. There is absolutely no journalistic integrity or accountability in gaming journalism, so who the hell cares what they say anymore.
