Allen Park writes, "At yesterday’s Sony press conference, Jack Tretton announced the production of a PlayStation branded 3D display, specifically designed for the 3D gaming experience. At 24 inches, a somewhat affordable price of $499, and with the revolutionary ability to play 2-player multiplayer on one screen without split-screen, it’s most certainly the display on the market that won’t absolutely ravage your wallet, but it is actually worth the money?
Immediately after the Sony conference ended, a couple of us were able to take a look at the displays and see how well they worked."
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.
I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.
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.
um ... did you expect to be able to split 1 240 hz display into 4 60 hertz displays on a tech basis designed for running 2 displays... if so your a fool.
3d glasses take 2 disarate immages and merge them into differing viewpoints
its not so much a mater of the refresh rate as it is slplitting an immage
60 hz or a standard tv fill the screen upto 60 time a second thats fine for standard viewing but for 3d you need to display 2 seperate pictures lets call em a and b if you used iz3d s technique of stacked screens you get
aaaaaaa
bbbbbbb
with the 3d effect emerging as c effectivly in active chutter systems the tv alternates lines
ababababab with the glasses picking out what you need
aaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbb
on alterating frames faster then your eye can see it so you see both images simutaniosly what this is doing is using both parts of it to display 2 images instead of 1 3d one
ababababab
glasses one picks out player ones immage aaaaaa and glasses b pulls out the remaingng bbbbb
theres no point at which they can make a 3d effect out of that without fundamental changes in the system used
its possilbe that immages c and d could be sent to the tv and displayed on alternating frames but that would require a significant processor and ram for the tv as well as making the immages jumpy
the ghosting was likly mis shuttering of the glasses
its meeant for split screening in 2d on one screen im cool with that
as for it being game dependendt yes... but its based off of split screen tech all it has to do is runn it through a filter
most 3d tvs are 120 hz as 240 hz is costly and comes with a raft of issues
ill probobly get one because i like my sony tech if its bravia based and i think it is then great
I think over the next year or 2 ,3d tvs will become alot cheaper and it will become a more standard feature.
I liked this when Sony unveiled it. It would be perfect for a teen's bedroom where they wouldn't need a huge TV, but they want to game in 3D a little bit. I kinda wish they would've announced another model, like maybe a 46" for maybe $800.
its great buy for my room its 3d comes with glasses and a AAA 2011 exclusive with hdmi cable cumon buddy did u notice the tv is sony??? top shelf @ affordable price = no complaints
"affordable'
but its 24 inches.....k thanks but i like my 40 something inch that isnt a gimmick
