PS-Analog writes,"To make things clear, I think Sony and PlayStation will be alright but for the first time I am worried about the future of Playstation. When Sony announced that they made a massive loss, in their latest Q3 report, even though the PS3 hardware and software sold massively well. You start to wonder what they have to do to turn things around and how long can they handle these massive losses."
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.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
If you do the math you learn that this company has lost over 10 Billion dollars (US) since 2008. But if there is one guy who can turn things around its Kaz.
During the late 90s there was a time when the PS division was Sony's only profitable division. Concentrate on your strenghts.
The PS3 did not sell massively well. It was outsold by the Xbox 360 even with a price cut and Sony lowered the projection by 1 million as well.
Wait for the disagrees for stating facts
Is The PlayStation in Crisis?
Nope, but this article is.
I agree they may lost money but so do all major company's just luckly sony have more than one line of buisness.
Are they in crysis no, do they need to look for ways to make up for loss sure, Look if they that n the shit the vita wouldnt been launched the playstation 4 is in the works, next model telly's are still being made its just buisness.
Sony knows buisness thoe they do need to kick there marketers up the ass get them to do there jobs better.
Simple: No
