Sony's share prices dropped today by 11% on the heels of another quarterly loss. This is the biggest drop for the company since 2008.
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.
just more and more bad news about this industry today ):
Poor poor Sony, with all the talk of ps4 I figured their shares would go up, Guess Sony is still a sinking ship.I really hope all 3 companies can get it together and get the Industry growing again. maybe if there wasn't the idiots blind loyalties to to buying one companies machine and dogging the others the industry would continue to grow. don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with favoring one machine over the other cause I make it clear i favor my 360 over the rest of my consoles but at least I own them all. There have already fan boys who just wrote the 720 off in favor of the ps4, but I really have to ask why? I plan on doing the same thing next gen as this gen and that is to own all 3 consoles.
Sony should just quit the tv business or find a way to lower the costs and price competitively to Samsung and LG( LG which make crappy and poor build tv's but price point is everything with the economy being in the dumpster). Sony is now firmly in the black though which is a good thing and is sure to post a profit in Q4, and the Xperia Z seems to get alot of positive response and hype.
Its taking time for Kaz to turn the company around after Howard Stringer but if anyone can do it is him, the man has a vision and Playstation is a keystone to that which is good news for gamers.
PS3 is gonna have a killer year compared to 2012, the game's industry in general is gonna have a much better year, then the very lackluster 2012. Which only had a few remarkable title's in Journey,Walking dead,Far cry 3 and Dishonored there are more but not many.
No surprise the company as a whole is still in the red. Kaz said that the playsttion division whould save them but PS3 and Vita sales where lower than expected. Showing the ps3 still trailing the 360 by over 1.5ml and vita having its sales forcast cut again by 3ml.
If the PS4 doesnt take off it could be even worse news for Sony
