NES looks into Sony's downward trend over the past 10 years and looks into the management problems that have been ailing the tech giant over the past decade.
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.
Now I can't wait for the article about Microsoft one of the richest company ever is on the decline
well, this is Kaz's first year. even investors know that's too short a time to implement changes...
now's a good time to invest in Sony...
Slow news day.Sony is in financial trouble. About the hundredth article to point it out.Thanks for confirming what has already been said.....again. And as usual LOGICWINS jumps to defend another negative Sony article. Another shocker.And the usual 'We should take this seriously, Sony is in a lot of trouble' for people who always act as if they are so much more concerned then the whole gaming community.We all know Sony is having financial troubles. We have heard the figures, heard from the doomsayers and the financial geniuses and every single article. That is what Kaz is trying to fix and why they are trying to reorganize the company. Or haven't you heard? But as soon as another article pops up saying 'Sony is in financial trouble we will be hearing 'We have to take this seriously' from the overly concerned gamers who always think they are more concerned then even the people who actually own the company are.
Yeah, i'm pretty sure EVERYONE knows Sony is in deep financial troubles, but that doesn't mean we should be getting news like this more than twice a week. Why do people want other companies to fail? People need their jobs, and more competition is good for business as it makes companies learn from their mistakes and improve on them. Heck, I may not like the Xbox 360 much, but I still don't want it to fail, as Xbox Live Gold inspired PS+, and it and PSN are going to make the Wii U's online better (well, at least I hope Nintendo does so)
Plus, some the best and memorable games and new IPs in the last 15 years started on Playstation. MGS (not a new IP, but Solid series started on PS1), Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry, Okami, ICO and SOTC, God of War, Uncharted, GT, GTA, RE, and many more. With a console that that has a 15+ years of history, a giant list of games that started on this console and are now classics, and still choosing to create new IPs despite this gen seemingly ending soon AND under financial problems, you'd have to be a giant blind and ignorant fanboy to WANT Sony to go bankrupt and close down.
Wow, what an article and it does a lengthy but very good job of explaining Sony's woes. I agree that Sony does seem to have an identity crisis in that they sell a lot of different products but there doesn't seem to be real focus or direction to the company. Unlike say Apple or Amazon who have a limited number of products but they are generally high quality and are razor focused in leveraging them to sell a lot of software/consumables through their formadable ecosystem of books, music, movies etc. I think that Microsoft are also at a turning point with the move from PC's to Tablets gradually reducing their income from operating systems. Their Xbox divison is strong but there is a lot of question marks on how they are going to keep producing high profits. If their new Surface tablets fail then their market position will be heavily scrutinised.
