PlayStation users can't change their PlayStation Network names because PSN wants to curb the behavior of griefers and other online malefactors, or at least not give them a tool to use, the president of Sony Computer Entertainment America tells IGN.
A recent trophy list published on the PlayStation Network contains hints that Sony is testing PlayStation PC trophies.
Sony removed the ability to transfer games from PS3 to Vita, which unfortunately locks Vita players out of a lot of PS1 classics.
Sony really hates the Vita. Years later and they're still finding ways to snub owners of the device.
It seems like this was included in the most recent PS3 and Vita fw updates. So as long as i dont upgrade my systems... it should still work.
PlayStation Network currently generates over a staggering $14 billion in digital sales.
In fluffy's voice "DAMN"
PlayStation is universal brand. It sells in every country and the brand recognition is just on another level. I think it was like 2018 or 2019 when PlayStation generated more money than Xbox and Nintendo combined

Sony doesn't need GP because they have a huge library of games from their past generations that people can't wait to play again with trophy support. And they have been the best ever since launch of PS5. Game after game while as a Xbox series X owner I am playing the wait game. HFW, GT7, GOW, TOKYO Ghostwire and rumor has it TLOU remake will release this year too. While Ms have all the resources and not much AAA content
Hopefully 2023 is when Xbox can get on a steady schedule for releasing awesome games. Honestly this is the last straw if anything like this happens again than Phil has to and I do mean has to go. He can't be failing this badly with the amount of resources at his disposal
Love to hear it, now keep giving us the usual AAA single player bangers, keep the gaas rubbish to a minimum.
That's good money!
Playstation Network includes all digital purchases, DLC, MT, the monthly/ yearly fee, PSnow and any other paid service on the network.
120mill PS4 and 20 mill PS5, I'm not surprised.
Lol, why mention they don't need a GP service when they are actually doing a similar service come June. I would take that to mean they see more $$ coming from it.
I would surmises the other 2 systems generate in the billions for their digital services as well.
Not sold on the reason given, but maybe that's part of the reason MS charges $10 to change your Gamertag. Been wanting to change it since coming up with a Gamertag I'm satisfied with, on the 3rd attempt (XalechimThe14th).
I'm sure all of the now older and more mature COD_QuikSc0pe(Insert 4 numbers) kids would love a chance to change their name, even with a fee.
If I was a griefer, I'd have 6 separate griefing accounts...
I agree with others here, but will add that each account has got to have an account number… Why not tie the account to the number and allow people to block that number permanently so they couldn't be griefed? So it wouldn't matter if they change their name, the account number would still be the same and you would know who they were no matter how many times they changed it.
You could also put an Asterix by somebody's name for 90 days, giving players the ability to know they changed their name and tell who they were formerly. But again, if they were blocked by account number, none of this would be an issue because the number would never change... just the name.
That's great Sony... people are willing to pay and you still turn our money down.
Another bs excuse. It's either too hard for them or they don't see any benefit in it for themselves to go thru the trouble.
