"Sony waits for a week to tell us that the intrusion into their Playstation Network has compromised the personal information, including billing information, of all subscribers?"
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
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.
Accounts get compromised in every other online retailers here and there.
I think people are blowing this out of proportion but still its unfortunate.
The only thing im mad about is that SONY didnt tell us earlier that personal info was compromised.
Hey...the higher number of accounts compromised, the lesser the chance of my info being actually used by the hackers...right? :/
Well in reality it's more like 15-20 million unique accounts compromised.
Thats bad, cant even use the classic line “you shouldn’t have ur CC info on it anyway, thats common sense”, nothing else I can say its just bad, even more how sony handled the situation, however going by the post that says it sony didn’t say that the details where compromised and they didn’t say they weren’t, they just say they don’t know and it could have happened (which is obvious since the hackers who did this got the admin accounts)
Accounts compromised unfortunately happen all the time in this day and age, but the real problem here is the fact Sony WAITED one week to tell its subscribers that their accounts WERE compromised. Thats the real problem.
What the hell was Sony thinking NOT to inform users about this when it happened...and waited almost a full week to do so. That's plain wrong.
