So what you guys are saying Sony is throwing a life saver float at Xbox. Oh also apple + is also getting a life saver float as well 😂 damn Sony is been playing live guard this summer 🤣 It’s a joke don’t get a 🤯
Funimation has more uncut anime than CR lol and was the ones to normalize it lol. CR has been censored mostly to this day lmao. Atleast if a shows simulcast in a censored version they release the uncensored stream able version and home release version after
You mean a monopoly to stream anime. They do not own the anime studios. Sony strengthened their portfolio, but did not form a anime streaming monopoly.
Sony is a large group of different independent companies. Sony Entertainment (I don't remember the exact name), which produce films, TV or anime, is a separate company to SIE, which is responsible for PS5 & games. So what this Sony is doing may not be in-line with that Sony.
@CaptainHenery916 They are 2 independent companies, thus I said 2 different Sony companies. They are both under Sony group. So their strategy may or may not be in-line with one another.
true, Sony has a variety of divisions that all work independently of one another & are their own division/group w/in Sony Corp. In business it's common to spin off divisions for finances and whatever other reasons. I don't recall the actual structure Sony uses and things sometimes change but yes, the streaming & entertainment/picture/movie studio side is independent of the Playstation/Gaming division. Just like how the music division is a branch not under the PS/Gaming umbrella of Sony Corp.
While it is funny to think, wait, doesn't Sony own them so it's funny to see this on platform XYZ, the fact is these divisions are all independent of one another in these regards.
I though I saw that Sony purchased them yesterday and are already planning on integrating the service into PlayStation. I doubt it will be on Xbox for long.
They are 2 different Sony companies (within the Sony group of cause). Sony group also includes some little know companies, like Sony financial company in Japan for corporate banking.
Integrating the service into Playstation? You mean like that app thats already been there for like forever? Haha
And why would it not be on Xbox? this is a Sony Media purchase (a massive purchase at that), not a Playstation one. Just like with Funimation, they will want their streaming service everywhere its possible
Believe it or not but each of Sony business segments work independently. For example Sony interactive studios need the approval of Sony music to use one of their songs in a game. In the case of Funamination, their goal is to be on as many devices available to potentially maximize subscriptions.
Imagine the loss of revenue if Sony music or Sony pictures catalog could only be heard or seen on a Sony hardware.
Probably a smart way to keep gamers of Xbox Series systems for Sony, while still giving those keen on gamepass the incentive to do it on PC. Not sure how much it actually helps but for physical hardware/software sales it could make a tiny dent, if at all I suppose.
Looks like this is for PC users only as there is no mention of console users.
I think its owned by sony
