You just showed the slides. Not studying the possibility of using popular streaming sticks for cloud gaming would have been stupid. Of course Sony was looking into it and it had nothing to do with Xbox.

The first Cloud Gaming Service was OnLive that launched in 2010, 14 years ago. When OnLive went down in 2015, it's patents and know-how were bought by none other than Sony Computer Entertainment, 9 years ago.



Sony bought the assets of a cloud gaming company 2 years before Gamepass even existed and 4 years before Xbox Cloud was even announced.
Let that sink in.




And then Geforce Now (back then was Nvidia GRID Gaming) launched publicly 9 years ago, after 2 years in beta, so it's been out there for 11 years.
Xbox Cloud service launched in Beta in 2019, 6 years after Nvidia's and 9 years after Onlive's (whose patents and technical expertise, by the way and in case it didn't sink in yet, were bought by Sony).







Oh yes, Sony is totally panicking about... checks notes.. the success of their console business compared to Microsoft's.

i know all of it, but they've seen how it would be detrimental to their hardware business last gen and they focused on tentpole REAL EXCLUSIVE games, and they took PS Now out of Smart TVs for example, now that Xbox is actively doing it, they'll put it back there and prostitute even more their intelectual proprierties, not considering how detrimental it will be to their core product, that's the point, it's not about who did it first, it's about who moved the other to make these things again, a constant shifting strategy, MS has been moving Sony to do a lot of stupid shit, MS normalized console exclusives going to PC, and then a few years later Sony does it, it's like they're arming traps and Sony is falling bit by bit, the day they put their tentpole games day one on PC, Phil Spencer can retire cause his job of destroying both Xbox and PlayStation will be done.

people who are making fun of "No Console Required" Xbox ads will look like clowns when PS Plus is avaliable on Phones, PC (both natively and via cloud), Smart TVs, FireStick/Roku/Apple TV, Tablets and etc, the very same way people were saying you don't need an Xbox cause you can play on PC but now cap for Sony releasing their tentpole games there, even if not day and date, it still makes the console extremely useless, right now the only first party exclusives PS5 has are Demon's Souls and Spiderman 2, Demon's Souls is already leaked to come to PC, and it'll probably be next year... PS5 is the biggest failure exclusive wise in all of Sony's history, you can play 95% of its exclusives on superior hardware.

Xbox as a console is dead but their won't be any gamepass growth like we seen with Samsung TVs this just reenforces the idea that console is not needed Sony ain't losing sleep over this as well when console is top selling

it literally was a reaction to Xbox's plans, you can check it on the Insomniac leaks, they were panicking about MS, GamePass and ABK, they show NO TRUST in their own franchises/service/console, the fact the console will not be necessary anymore will basically kill PlayStation overtime, and the only way Cloud can work is through subscriptions due to the insane high costs of these datacenters, so they're basically betting on the wrong model and they'll adapt their players to bet on that future too.

Sony is panicking, yet Cerny sees a bright future for consoles.

There are almost 4 billion Android smartphone users on the planet. Bunch of them can download GP app which is available for years on it. And.....what happened in the end? All of a sudden Amazon FireStick should do the trick. That's why Xbots are idiots and Sony is panicking. Right

and they'll put it again because they panic and follow almost every step MS makes, in the Insomniac Leaks they had sliders full of fear about Xbox leapfrogging them (literally looked like an Xbox fanboy slider) and about putting PS Plus on Smart TVs and Fire Stick / Roku like devices, they'll kill their console EXACTLY like Xbox is doing, they have no trust in their own franchises

Sony started game streaming way before MS and have been trying to expand for awhile. Nothing to do with MS.

If anything MS is the one following Sony. As you showed Sony is already planning to put PS plus on Amazon devices. If people are reading trough the Insomniac files finding all this stuff, then MS has a dedicated room in their office building combing through everything looking at Sony’s plans.

And what a coincidence. MS announces gamepass for firestick.

It's because it's a Slide made by an Xbox fanboy, who put it in the middle of the leak. There was even a screenshot of the discord where the data was leaked from people laughing at how fanatical an Xbox fanboy is for having invented this.

Maybe even by an MS executive himself, needing to convince shareholders that he was right. This level of "professionalism" in the speed that was informed and engaged to make the fake slide even raises the suspicion of being someone whose job it is to do this... Someone with an idiotic and failed plan needing to buy time with the boss, Nadella, saying "even Sony recognizes how brilliant my plan is"
