With E3 2012 over and next year looking to be the debut of the next gen consoles, Leviathyn.com's Ron Hoffecker goes over ten things that the PS4 must have and do.
During Sony’s recent business segment meeting and investor presentation regarding its game and network services, the PlayStation company revealed that PlayStation 5 is the company’s “most profitable generation to-date.”
It’s the top slide of the presentation, showing that in its first four years, the PS5 generation has already hit $106 billion in sales, having almost caught up to the PS4’s total $107 billion generated.
Operating income for the PS5 generation has also already surpassed that of the PS4, having now reached $10 billion.
I wouldn't doubt it. They released a high quality system. A lot of high quality games from themselves and their support of 3rd party developers and indies. They released many high quality remakes and remasters. They released a high quality GaaS game going against the naysayers thinking Sony would abandon single player games. And they most likely are profiting a lot more than PS1, PS2 PS4 and the loss leading PS3 that drained all their profits.
Now, I'll wait to see what's cooking tomorrow. But can you use some of those profits to better support your high quality VR headset? Because, by supporting it, you can sell more games and more systems and make more profits?
This will surely shut up all the new trolling accounts trying to spread lies and non facts in other articles comment sections before this article is posted.
Wow! I am super impressed that in just 4 years, ps5 already caught up to the PS4's. Congratulations.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
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.
This article is well written. Now, if only Sony paid attention....
Take note, Sony.
One thing i am sure Sony will do is get rid of the Cell Architecture. They do this and follow the same route as the Vita and make the PS4 a DECENT price and not $500-$700, then Sony has a winner.
I do agree its an article that does give some good advice, however I have to disagree with "Charging for PSN." I'm not against the concept and if it means better security then thats fine. But it appears Sony has a different model and especially a different "culture" when it comes to 'Pay to play.'
It seems they are heavily focused on incorporating PS+ members and will use this model as a way to generate funds. Also if they go to a pay model, you would alienate many of the PS+ members who would then have to shell out an extra fee?
I also highly doubt they would have a two tier system. One which gives you access to play and one that gives you access and PS+. That would be a disaster to explain and support.
I think they are going to use the cell since they bought the manufacturing plant from IBM, and they already invested billions of dollars in creating it. The AMD rumor is probably a GPU, so the PS4 is still going to be a power house. By putting the Cell 2.0 into the PS4 will cut cost which can be spent else where.
I disagree with the paid service for PSN. Why would I pay for it if I can get it for free on the PC. Having a free online service is a better incentive to purchase games digitally, if I want to buy a game digitally, but have to pay for the online service, that just add cost for the consumer.
