Why Did PlayStation Buy Evo?

Sony clearly sees Evo as an opportunity to not only cement its status as the fighting game platform, but also to strengthen its position as a console for competitive gamers. Esports may not be to your personal tastes, but the Japanese giant is smart to broaden the appeal of its box; it’s already the best place to play single player story games, but the manufacturer wants to ensure its appliance is the defacto device for tournaments, too. All of that means more players, more subscribers, and, ultimately, more money.
