Sony & Microsoft

>content streaming
lol

Why would they ?

>microsoft is going third party
wat
it's not like they have games
are they going to have windows10 on ps5

Nah man it's just shit like sharing the Azure cloud infrastructure with Sony or whatever

>you now realize that if gaming ever goes full cloud or if cloud gaming becomes a substation percentage of the market, Sony will literally be at Microsoft's mercy
>all whilst paying Microsoft to have Sony's games

Sony are the dumbest company in gaming right now. This is the DUMBEST move they could have pulled. They had Amazon, IBM or hell even fucking Google would have been a better option than their literal arch rivals these last few gens. Think about it if cloud gaming gets popular and Microsoft and Sony are both offering the same multiplat game on their service e.g. a new assassin's creed or something, the Sony version would be more expensive because they're literally hiring server space from Microsoft all whilst trying to make a profit themselves.

Its beginning to dawn on Sony how completely fucked they are. The industry is radically shifting in a direction which makes their current business model obsolete. They have to adapt or die.

>sharing

sony are paying microsoft to use their servers for psnow. microsoft is the major winner here

Here we go with everyone's head canons again

"sony is doomed for real now!"
-Yea Forums, 2006-present

everyone is selling out to china. letting china own your shit and you rent it from them makes the censorship process much smoother. basically give all control to china and then act surprised when they kike your middle man poo in the loo kike ass out as they attempt world domination via 3 kingdoms backstabbing as is tradition.

So Xbox characters and PlayStation characters meet. What happens next?

Meanwhile console wars are still a thing.. We should focus in having fun above all else just like companies focus in making money above all else.

What? Where the fuck do you see China here?

except this time it's literally different. they're not doomed but their bread and butter which is hardware is becoming less and less important in the modern era. sony thrives off selling ps4 consoles and it's a massive source of income for them. as the next 10 years progress console hardware will become less and less important compared to advances in streaming service. look at the sony walkman as a good example. it doesn't even exist anymore because the market has no need for that kind of device and hasn't for ages because alternates exist as well as the rise in popularity of streaming

"onlive, the future of gaming!"
-marketer, 2009

Will we get the fabled Gran Forza crossover? KillHalo? Little Big Spark?

Both. Sony are using Xcloud to stream and Azure to power servers. There are already games on PS4 using Azure like R6 Siege, For Honor and PUBG. This is purely a shot against Google and a pre-Emptive against Amazon.

Fanboys dont play video games. They "fight" against those of the other side.

Stadia will flop since American ISP have garbage bandwidth and it's already being strained by basic video streaming services like Netflix.

ZOG sure push hard for digital only gaming and subscription shit.

This. It must be pretty bad if these guys are teaming up.

ITT faggots think they are allying against nintendo and not against the consumers with a cloud deal

Sony will still have a presence at E3 even if they're not there.

Xbox and PlayStation have such bad overlap. Can you name one unique scenario in which any of their franchises can collide without force?

Ever since Google came out of the closet i kept saying console name don't matter anymore.
Console will be like a phone or a TV. Everything will be played on every console and will do everything other console can do.
Who's the faggot now.

God dammit, we were supposed to be having a crash and a new industry rising from its ashes. Not mega-corporate conglomerates that have >50% market share.

How is western gaming still even alive at this point?

Because you're a retarded Yea Forumseddit shit head and you believe the autistic memes on this shit board, you're fucking stupid.

Now, this is legit interesting, MS is in bed with both Sony and Nintendo, and their primary focus is cloud gaming. I might be completely wrong here, but to me it seems like they're getting tired of the console market (since their first party titles sell just as well on Windows PCs, and Microsoft is the software company first and foremost), so they want to use their Xbox resources to establish a network between all gaming platforms and focus their capabilities on cloud gaming just to rain on Google's parade.

Console wars are over? Wtf it just started getting good after 30 years

Video gaming is never going to die again. Do you really think that all the nutjobs that want to force their politics into every inch of gaming came out of nowhere all at the same time with the same exact opinions out of sheer coincidence? If you actually think that you're legitimately a retard. Video gaming is now officially another arm of the state religion alongside TV and movies and music and just like with television programs and music CDs and movie DVDs the powers that be want to ensure that their propaganda gets into the minds of as many tax cattle as possible.

Sure they were huge and changed the market but its so weird to see this doublethink where only one rival company gets blamed for it. Sega killed itself first and foremost, the competition just naturally beat them after that.
I'm guessing this is the gamecube/xbox gen speaking? They did get some old Dreamcast exclusives and Sega-Sammy did seemingly avoid the PS2.

Remember that article not too long ago about Microsoft doing a deal with Nintendo about some kind of Xbox Live services? People actually thought Xbox games will be on the Switch. So yes, people are fucking dumb as shit.

HUH? WHA?
Why would these successful multi million dollar companys make these choices?

That's not how games work retard

it means playstation games on xbox. they're literally going to be using xcloud xbox's to stream ps5 games. any ps5 game that will be streamed is just a reskinned xbox version with different button prompts.

same goes for PS5 exclusives if they end up on this service at any point.

pic related perfectly encapsulates Yea Forumseddit, giving business advice to actually intelligent and successful people, shits hilarious

They’re all going to do it and retards will pay for it.

no that post says those games are using azure servers for online matchmaking. i'm telling you that actual PS5 games will be ported to the xbox's in the xcloud servers, and then streamed to the end user from there.

Azure is not xbox. The Xbox is not going to have PSNow.

Because the force of Nintendo's might was too strong for them.

Fun fact: Japanese gamers call Sonyfags roaches.

Japanese gamers have long called Sony a self-hating Japanese company. Literally traitor company

One step closer to Halo being on PlayStation.

Nah Nintendo has nothing to do with this. They're collaborating in order to face Google.

xcloud is xbox and xcloud is azure. i'm not saying ps5 games will come to xbox at retail but since sony will be utilizing xcloud gaming servers for psnow ps5 streaming, any psnow stream of ps5 games will literally be running on an xbox in the cloud with a different skin and button prompts.

to use a shit analogy it's like the new toyota supra. it's a toyota in name but everything under the hood to all the actual components within the car are from bmw. it's a reskinned bmw with a toyota badge.

>American ISP have garbage bandwidth and it's already being strained by basic video streaming services like Netflix.

That's more or less the symptom of the much bigger issue that US ISPs don't want to actually upgrade their infrastructure at all but want to create newer and ever more draconian services so that you can get your sweet 20down/10up and 1tb monthly caps.

As far as I can tell its Sony going third party by giving Microsoft their games to put in the cloud. Do you have any sources of xbox 1st party going to playstation?

How much do they have Google?

>B-but my 5g

If anything, this is a bad decision from Microsoft. Sony obviously just went with whatever was the cheapest and best cloud solution. Microsoft probably made them a good offer because they didn't want Sony going to Microsoft's biggest rival in cloud computing, Amazon. But surely that would have been better than literally facilitating the cloud gaming platform of the company that is beating you in the video gaming space and may even ELIMINATE you from it?

All according to plan
youtube.com/watch?v=IzV_xrisMko

Why the fuck not?
Can't we just play together?

The only actual places where Stadia could have any success are Japan and Korea or something. Everywhere else in the world the average internet connection is too shit to function in a widespread way. Ignoring the full extent of South America, lots of Europe, Russia and shit isn't the way to full success.

SEGA would have survived after the dreamcast if they didn't kill themselves with SEGA CD and Saturn Video games would have been better for it now. That is all

The future is basically going to be Nintendo, with hybrid console handhelds, and Sony/MS with cloud bullshit. Jesus H Christ

Sony literally cannot "eliminate" microsoft from the gaming space, retard. They have so much money they're going to stay as long as they want. For Sony, all it would take is one or two bad generations for them to go under completely. Don't give a shit about either console, just saying.

op. its what microsoft want to do. its why all their games are going to switch. only xbox fanboys care about console wars. microsoft doesnt, they just want to make money, and putting your games on the biggest platform is the best way to make money. its just smart business

So further confirmation that Gamepass and other Xbox services are coming to PlayStation and Nintendo. Good to know.

>Sony going third party

maybe not gaming space but theyre irrevelant now in the console space sadly

>putting your game in a stream

wishful thinking. same people thought xbonex would turn things around in terms of sales

one bad generation is not going to make Microsoft irrelevant, and the turnaround on Xbox One is impressive if you aren't wearing fanboy goggles (not saying you are). It's pretty clear to me, at least, that after the Xbox One failed they decided to use it as a sandbox for next gen so they're gonna be far more prepared than Sony with hardware I think.

Dumbest post in this thread by far. This is only a win for Microsoft, not Sony. Sony will be at Microsoft's mercy from how on in the cloud space because they hold all the cards. Amazon doesn't have a gaming infrastructure so they weren't ever in the equation. Microsoft at the current time are the only company who has a cloud gaming infrastructure of this scope that is going into beta later this year. Sony has psnow but its just a bunch of ps3s in a server. Sony does have the tech Microsoft has like AI content production and other services they mentioned in the press release. Literally every insider on Twitter and YouTube are saying Sony specially picked MS because they were the only option. Brad Sam's in his video actually said if Sony believe MS are the right choice for the foreseeable future of their cloud division then imagine how much better Microsoft's own offerings will be.

Doesn't*

That's not what's happening.

Nintendo: I thought we had something special...

>all their games are going to switch.
Nigga what? Which xbox first party games are on the switch?

They're literally handing over ps5 specs and games to Microsoft to put in their servers. Microsoft can completely fuck it up for Sony if they wanted to. Sony gave literally no control over their own cloud gaming now because they're at the mercy of MS not to fuck them over.

This, Microsoft and Nintendo have next gen in the bag, Sony will drop out and become third party like Saga and Atari.

There's Cuphead on Switch.

Are you People actually retarded to think either company is bending the Knee?

Delusion.

But there is no turnaround. xbox is still getting outsold by ps4 and switch even with the xbonex. Having more powerful hardware didnt change anything and that worries microsoft.

cuphead and eventually ori. gamepass is also coming to switch

more games than xbox none

the original xbox got stomped too, that literally means nothing. Microsoft has never made a profit on Xbox

>Ori
Uh huh

yeah and now they realise its pointless to keep fighting. no matter what they do theyre always losing. microsoft want gamepass to be the netflix of gaming and for that to happen it needs to be platform agnostic. same with mixer. sony and nintendo on the other hand are obssessed with exclusivity, they think its their secret sauce.

>Playstation hq moves to california

>sony suddenly sells out to Microshaft
hmm i wonder what could have caused all this

Despite not having a conference Sony will undoubtedly have the biggest presence at E3. It's like when Marvel skipped Hall-H last year, yet dominated 85% of the news.

Microsoft mad 2bn less revenue in 2018 compared to Sony, whilst Sony had 100% more consoles sold. Microsoft doesn't care about console sales their whole hardware division has transitioned to using revenue figures not sales since 2012 and that includes surface, xbox, mobile etc. Microsoft are still making a killing off xbox and Sony are obviously fearing them hence why they went running to them. Everyone knows cloud gaming is the future and out of Google, Microsoft and Sony, Sony are the only ones who don't have a global cloud gaming infrastructure and Microsoft happen to have the best tools for this even better than Google because Microsoft are an actual gaming company.

Not him but Microsoft has a new policy for their first party games "Xbox console exclusive", Xbox games will only show up on Xbox consoles and PCs, never the Switch or PS5.

You're on crack, see .

Ori isn't a first party game it's also on steam. Microsoft doesn't own moon studios. As for gamepass that rumour was debunked by Nintendo insiders months ago. It would be easy domination for MS if the switch got gamepass but it has no benefits for Nintendo.

I should clarify this is gaming revenue only

I miss back when Microsoft had games, and every Xbox fan wasn’t so thirsty for Sony to whore out their exclusives.

MS games on playsation now but not the other way around. Are any of them good?

I'm pretty sure hallucinations are a sign of mental illness, user. Have you seen a doctor recently?

Microsoft will change their policy soon and include switch,pc and xbox. Nintendo will allow banjo and other xbox characters in smash in exchange for cuphead, ori, gears halo and forza. They both win.

This could be the beginning of the end of Xbox. Not from Sony putting them under but Microsoft caring less for console gaming. Just let everyone in the Azure.

no theyre all trash. i wish xbox kept them because they make the ps store look like the steam indie page.

"Xbox Console Exclusive" is a new policy that just started because people kept believing Xbox games were going to be on other consoles. You're never getting Xbox games on Switch and PC is not a console so I don't even know why you mentioned it. You're either very naive or very stupid.

what the fuck is with all the retarded ideas being said in this thread. absolute legitimate brainlets who think that Sony wins everything. It's fucking weird how much some people on here suck their cock. It's been explained pretty well in this thread from what I've read that despite Sony's dominance this gen, they are not in a good position financially or infastructure wise for the next one. No one knows the terms of this deal but if you unironically think that Microsoft isn't a powerhouse that can do whatever they want just because one console flopped, you're delusional.

If Sony allows gamepass on playstation they're finished. That's basically free money for Microsoft at that point. Sony would be paying MS to have cloud gaming for PS5 and at the same time allowing their customers to pay MS to stream xcloud games instead of PS5 streams. It would be the dumbest decision ever if they allowed gamepas streaming on PS.

Imagine being so retarded to post a twitter screencap that directly contradicts the big exclamation you're making.

Nice. What's the point of Xbox now?

xbox games are coming to switch. its going to be a new policy just like the put all the games on pc policy. cuphead is just a teaser for all microsoft games. you gotta be stupid if you dont think this is a huge win for microsoft since theyre gonna make a shit ton of money.

gamepass is the only reason im buying an xbox. when that comes to ps4 everybody will own a ps4. complete console dominance.

What MS games will you be playing on your playstations? For me, I'll play Halo because it would make Xbox owners mad I could.

Cuphead on PS4? I think so.

im gonna play gears 5 day one on my ps4 pro.

Xbox one costs Microsoft around $150 to make. A year gamepass is like $120 I think ($9.99 a month) so by you subscribing as well as many other millions of other people it's free money for Microsoft. It would boost their market share massively. Theres a reason why Sony didn't want cross-play on fortnite because they didn't want people who bought items on xbox playing on playstation because its free money for Microsoft and Sony doesn't gain anything from it.

I can't wait until 2040 where you can't own anything.

Isn't this a dumb move from MS since now the ps5 will be better than what it would have been without MS's help.

It's classic sony backstabbing strategy. They'll partner up like with nintendo, then stab them in the back and make their own console based on it.

Yes Sony is cucking to Microsoft that's exactly what I said you the no Microsoft is providing this for free? Sony is going to pay out of the nose for this

It's probably Sony borrowing some engineers (B/C? I know that the Xbone's BC is considered something of a piece of technical wizardry) in return for a consultant's fee and easing up on Xbone crossplay.

This is pretty scary for the consumers.

You've got it wrong, it's actually MS ending the Xbox brand and pulling out of the hardware market, not Sony.

Sony is buying azure servers from Microsoft that's what this is why they didn't pick Amazon is beyond me but that's what is going on they will pay Microsoft for this monthly if you buy a PlayStation you are now supporting Microsoft

This is them agreeing to fuck us.

Microsoft and Nintendo fucking up this gen is the ONLY reason Sony haven't went third party yet, they won't recover this time since they're not in Japan anymore.

it gives MS the control they want. they know sony don't want to be left behind in the cloud gaming race and microsoft are the only company who can offer this service to them and it happens to be an industry leading service anyway. xbox aside, microsoft accepts contracts like these all the time and sony is just another customer. however naturally there will be advantages for MS for hiring out there service to sony, such as for example if sony and microsoft both have a game listed on their respective cloud stores, chances are it'll be more expensive on the PS platform seeing as they will both seek the same profit margins per sale but sony have the added cost of the servers they're hiring whereas MS own the servers so any added cost will be much less than the added cost for sony which will be the cost of MS running these servers + a profit on top of that.

im gonna be playing halo on my new switch. sounds like a smart choice to me

I thought Japanese people had pride

Microsoft want to be the Netflix of games, they are trying to get Nintendo and Sony to adopt their gamepass.

This wouldn't be the first time. Microsoft helped develop the PS3's Cell processor.

playstation is an american company now, officially

microsoft bringing their games to playstation is a huge win for microsoft, theyre gonna make a lot of money from all those sales.

I doubt MCC could even run on Switch.

i don't know about that but i know the reverse was true. sony helped develop the 360 xenon processor because it was developed for sony but they opted to go for the spe's or whatever they're called but ms took this processor and made it into a tri-core

You guys are stuuupid.

Oh maybe that's what it was. thanks

DID YOU FUCKING FORGET PLAYSTATION HQ IS RELOCATED TO CALI-FUCKING-FORNIA

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN

Man it seems like sony is crumbling slowly but surely and its like they want it to happen.

Based Microsoft securing another win for PlayStation

do any xbox fans have any recommendations for which xbox games i should play first on my ps4? i was thinking halo 5 but i might try out sunset overdrive instead.

yeah from what i remember ibm developed that processor and sony took it and added all these extra branches (which was what made it so hard to develop for) so it was like 1 main core and a bunch of smaller core things called spe's or something. most devs didn't bother to optimize for those smaller core things they just let the 1 main core do all the work. MS took that design and instead of adding those smaller branches they just took the 1 main core and stuck 2 extra ones next to it so it was a tri-core and it was much easier to develop for.

that's the gist of it anyway i was probably wrong with some terminology there though.

More like ISPs were given billions in subsidies to build out the infrastructure and pocketed all of it instead

no reason in owning a ps5 now that ps5 games are gonna be on xbox

Theres no way cloud gaming becomes a real thing, GPU time is just too expensive

I mean it could.

THERE IS FUCKING NONE. The ISPs are fucking raking us across coals by the minute. They have too much power and are propped up by the government.

sony pays more to microsoft relating to microsoft owned patents on android phones like sony experia than ms pays sony for blu ray. sony doesn't even own most of the blu ray patents that's panasonic and then there's a further 18 companies who have to split the share. in reality sony gets like 20 cents per xbox sold.

Because Microsoft fan boys don't want to admit it. They're gonna be the Netflix of gaming, dumping large sums of dosh left and right to secure content on their platform (i,e. studios), while advertising their services on other company's platforms.

>B-BUT I WANT TO OWN PHYSICAL MEDIA

Yea Forums is truly full of fucking retards and fanboys. Going completely digital is the future of gaming and Sony realized that. People leave in nostalgia and that's what they fucking want, play old games all over again and streaming services can offer them that.

EA just announced that EA Access will come to Playstation 4 this summer. There is a shift in Sony, now that they have dominance over hardware, they want to bring as many services as possible. The very day they open up towards Gamepass or xCloud Phil Spencer will jump in

>>Microsoft putting games like Cuphead on Switch without getting anything in return
microsoft doesn't own cuphead nor the developer. they only ok'd the devs request for a switch version because MS owned the marketing rights. unless you can find me direct evidence from MS or a developer themselves saying otherwise.

in fact you must have heard of detroit: become human coming to windows and epic store. sony owns that IP and all the rights to it.

>>Microsoft is now letting Sony use their Azure servers without getting anything in return
nigga what? microsoft gets money, influence, marketshare and revenue from any future psnow users. they will make bank off this. not only that but xcloud is only xbox in servers so ANY psnow game that's using azure xcloud is running off an xbox. sony 1st party devs will literally have to make xbox ports for their games to be played on the xbox's in azure servers.

Times like this I'm honestly fucking glad buzzwords like bing bing wahoo and son*gger and whatever the fuck microsoft is called never caught on to the outside social medias. Because god almighty these insults just feel like they're made by 9 year olds.

Microsoft has to be the shittiest company I know of. Their flagship console the xbox 360 having a 54.2% fail rate, their flagship OS Windows 10 being riddled with spyware and forcing users to downgrade to it.

They have no presence on the mobile market and they somehow managed to scare away Bungie, makers of their golden goose and the only reason to even think about the xbox.

They need to go up against Google & realised it'd be much cheaper & easier to join together on it then loss out to Google.

They probably realised it'd be more profitable to do it themselves then pay Google for the service.

Smart decision in my opinion.

>yay, less competition is bad!!!

Another gaming crash. Nintendo has been relegated as a kiddie, shit home console for Mario games. If Microsoft goes, then that means Sony has no competition in the console gaming market. That also means Japan has no competition.

japan never had competition. the west fucking sucks at making consoles and (with very few exceptions) games.

This. This so much. No one in this thread has mentioned the obvious. Crossplay being a standard across all games will push gaming forward.

Why are people making such a big deal out of this? From what I gather, its simply Sony paying Microsoft for their cloud infrastructure which they themselves don't have and can't set up cheaply. Its not like companies don't sell services to their competitors, ie. Google paying Apple to be the default search engine or MS porting Office to Mac

Console gamng itself is in competition with PC, mobile and streaming, and they are losing
The reason why Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are buddy-buddy right now is because they need it to survive. There is a glass ceiling of roughly 200M people in the world who might be into of the console market, PC and mobile ans streaming have much more reach

That's it. Sony is paying Microsoft to use their servers for its cloud gaming service because the only other companies with similar cloud infrastructure are Google and Amazon. But the Yea Forums kids are making such a big fuss out of this, Jesus.

You are retarded and dont understand basics of business

PlayStation now has a solid infrastructure, and Microsoft is making money off of Sony. Commies BTFO yet again.

Sony is paying Microsoft to use their superior services. That's all it is.

Sonys tech just sucks

They've had 13 years to make playstation network not shit, and yet its still shit

>paying your direct rivals
>inb4 other companies doing the same

you simply don't pay your rivals if you don't have to. people are quoting samsung and apple for example but apple for years have been trying to move away from samsung manufacturing their stuff. e.g. the apple processors used to be produced at samsung foundries but as soon as tsmc showed their node was good and can produce at the capacity needed they went with tsmc completely.

sony doing this is going to basically fund all future xbox 1st party games, those same games sony as a company are competing against. it's not like they didn't have other options.

No, he did not.

That's not delusion, that's reality.

Those other options were probably more dangerous to Sony so they went with Microsoft.

Microsofts data centers will bolster PlayStation Vue as well as PSNow in their streaming capability. Sony made this partnership with Microsoft because they have the infrastructure in place already and the PS5 will make use of it, not to mention it's a preemptive move against the Stadia. .

>amazon
>ibm
>more dangerous than microsoft

cringe

it's true. microsoft is literally their competitor and it's a threat to their marketshare. they use amazon web services right now for psn and psnow so why they didn't stick with it is baffling.

No, it's cursed forever.

Eventually, streaming will get to the point where it's "good enough" for typical casual gamers. It's bound to happen. Games will be designed around the latency, just like FPS games gradually came to be designed around a console controller. I don't like it, but it's going to happen. As soon they can do away with the cost of physical manufacturing and streaming is accepted as normal by the majority of consumers, they will do so without hesitation. This is the end goal, to get you locked into an ongoing service instead of a one-time product purchase, to achieve an endless and consistent steam of revenue for a monthly or yearly commitment. These corporations would rent you air until you decided to stop breathing if it were legal.

>>realizes that Nintendo are better than them
Sony's PlayStation division posted over twice the net profit of the whole Nintendo corporate last year.

hollywoodreporter.com/news/sony-interactive-chairman-praises-nintendo-focuses-developing-new-titles-1185721

Microsoft is pulling out of the console market, they're rebranding Xbox as an internet gaming service (Game Pass). That's why this is happening, why there are few Xbox exclusives, and why Live is coming to Switch/mobile devices. There's a lot of overhead in the production and shipping of physical items, in Microsoft's mind it's far more profitable to run a gaming Netflix service.

Probably just using MS's Azure blockchain solution. Not apart of the Xbox division, but expect tradeable digital games and other assets.

You mean like buying Gaikai years ago and having a streaming service before any of these other companies

You mean Sony is pulling out of the console market.

microsoft have publicly said they're going to be releasing hardware in the future. they said this just a few months ago on inside xbox

Exactly, Sony is pulling out, that was the whole purpose of the Cerny interview at Wired last month, teasing a nonexistent product

They'll shift to streaming-only devices in a flat second if the profit/cost ratio is high enough, though.

No, they will not.

These “Survive Together” memes need to be updated. Nintendo was the beast that Snoy and M$ need to survive against.

microsoft have a vested interest in the console market doing well including their own consoles. the xbox was made originally so devs make directx versions of games so they're incentivized to port them to pc because bill gates didn't want sony having a monopoly, which was a legitimate concern because as we all know 20 years ago sony had the most gaming machines in houses and there were loads of 3rd party devs who made ps2 games exclusively not because they had deals with sony but because the ps2 was easy target hardware as opposed to pc's back then (which is why directx api was even made to make this easier for devs).

MS will always want a console so they have some influence. if the xbox didn't exist this gen for example, games like RDR2 would be ps4 exclusive.

Realistically? Probably because the PSN infrastructure and servers are such a mess.

Now kiss!

Microsoft now profiting off Sony.
Seems like things keep shaping up for a Microsoft win next gen

No, it'll work. Everyone with shit internet will be left behind and all of those people, especially rural areas, will finally, truly enter the technological second-world.

buying up patents means jack shit if you don't have the infrastructure to take advantage of them. sony obviously believe cloud gaming will be a big thing next gen hence why they're paying a premium to their biggest rival to rent their cloud servers which are said to be some of the best in the whole industry.

Based Albert.

its not a 3rd party move for either company.
Sony is offering their hardware patents to improve azure servers while Microsoft is offering Azure to give Sony a platform to host their game streaming service. its likely not zero sum, but Sony probably isnt paying too much for it.

That's two entirely different things
The reason why crossplay is not happening is because those companies (including devs and publishers) would rather have you buy the same thing twice or thrice rather than letting you use what you already own on another platform

>Sony paying Microsoft and giving them their games to put into servers which MS will profit from the most is Microsoft moving 3rd party

Sony had Amazon Web Services at its disposal yet they still decided to let their biggest competitor have an opportunity to stranglehold them. Microsoft will have Sony's cloud gaming services on lock and they can ruin Sony in the cloud gaming space if they wanted to. It's like pushing a Jew trying to do business with a bunch of Nazis and expecting the Nazis to play nice. It won't happen and Sony are retarded for allowing MS to hold this much influence over a major component of their gaming division.

MS probably offered them a sweetheart deal and Sony took the bait.

I don't think Microsoft had a shortage of potential clients to rent their Azure servers
If they accepted to partner with Sony there is probably a trade-off, but I don't see what Sony can offer to Microsoft that they don't already have

I can't wait for this story to be spammed for the next few weeks when it's just the equivalent of a dev licensing Unreal to use for their game

Didn't read past your first sentence. Look at ms buying havok, buying minecraft, going PC multiplat, digital only console, porting games to other consoles, providing a service to Sony infrastructure.

The only thing I'm happy about this whole scenario is M$ going back to PC. Fuck consoles! It's 1983 all over again with a twist.

>Sony are retarded for allowing MS to hold this much influence over a major component of their gaming division.
Cloud gaming is not "a major component of their gaming division"
Playstation Now is 700,000 users currently. That's pitful. Most of SIE revenue comes from the 30% they get from anything purchased on the PS Store, and that's not going away to Microsoft or anyone
Also Microsoft won't fuck over a customer as big as Sony just for brownie points in an imaginary corporate war, they are not stupid

Sony has patents on a bunch of innovative hardware upgrades. If Mark Cerny is to be believed, they have custom SSD patents which load 18x faster than SATA (standard SSD loads 2-4x faster).

This is a move that it seems Sony needed. Microsoft doesn't need Sony's patents they're not a small company they will have many hundreds of patents in the cloud space because they've been one of the top 3 biggest players in that market for years now. Microsoft's streaming patents relating to gaming is second to none at the current time so Sony obviously sees this and realised if they want to compete with Google at the highest level they need to make a deal with Microsoft for Azure (like many thousands of other companies both small and big do the world over) so they're always in contention. It will benefit Microsoft way more than Sony as companies as a whole but it was probably a necessary step for Sony.

youtu.be/ocWTSq7IaLI

>He thinks people still use SATA
laffin @ u

never reply to me again

Will MS drones celebrate the day they announce xbox console exclusives will also be ported to ps4? I can see them saying "ms is making money off Sony haha!"

The fact Sony are moving away from the neutral Amazon Web Services cloud provider they used before to get into bed with their biggest rival says to me (and everyone else who has done analysis on this including pro analysts) that they feel cloud gaming will be a major part of their gaming plan next gen. Google have already said cloud gaming is their next big thing and Microsoft have also been talking about xcloud and the importance it will be to them.

And I'm not saying brownie points I'm saying Microsoft will always know how Sony's service is performing and easily allow them to undercut Sony because they'll have all the data. Microsoft will always make sure their streaming service is bigger than their competitors it doesn't matter if they're a customer. I'm not saying they'll sabotage them but they'll do what is within their capability and within fair trade laws do undercut Sony at every opportunity. If Sony went with Amazon they wouldn't have any data and it would be a blind war based on trends as it is now.

Where does it say that all the sony games are going to be on microsoft consoles, or that sony gave up their games to microsoft? I need more information. Everyone seems to say it but can anyone actually link me exactly and I mean exactly where it says that. Seems like they are working together now to make a better gaming experience for everyone. :3

>I don't have an xbone
cool story

I think the competition between cloud services will revolve around catalog and pricing, not necessarily the service itself. PSNow has reportedly the biggest market share right now but it's also arguably the worst service, however it's the only one you can play Bloodborne and The Last of Us on
Even if Microsoft has precise data on Sony services and ways to limit their offering, as long as Sony markets it right and gets a great catalog they will be able to thrive
Also they both seem to be afraid of Google so much that the "rivality" is put on ice

Google isn't a threat and never was. That's a lot of shitposting and fear mongering by idiots. Microsoft not only has more servers but much larger market share for their cloud services. Not only that but Microsoft actually has a history in gaming with an established, globally known brand in Xbox. Google doesn't have the games nor the brand recognition in Stadia that can compete. Even Sony using Microsoft's servers will probably decimate Google because they will have literally no games and any multiplat game you could play on Stadia chances are either one or both of MS and Sony will also have access to that game on their services. The added bonus of being able to own physical versions of your games on Xbox and PS5 will also play into the choice people will have to make when considering the ecosystem they want to buy into.

Google will inevitably become a competitive player at some point down the line, probably by the time the 10th gen lands, but by then the Xbox/PS brands will also be much stronger so it evens out. Google isn't going to dominate gaming like people are claiming just because of their meme YouTube click-to-play tech.

In glad Microsoft is finally going third party. They will make way more money and use that to invest in more games. Looking forward to playing the new fable on my switch since its on the go playable.

>In glad Microsoft is finally going third party
>he actually thinks this

There's no money to be made with exclusives and Microsoft is smart enough to know this.

They're not putting their games on PS or Switch this is why they just created the Xbox One/Xbox Console Exclusive policy. Microsoft's first party games will only be available on Xbox consoles, PC, and mobile (via XCloud).

And the winner is AMD.

Basically. They're working with Google and Microsoft. Therefore, Nintendo and Sony.

Jewvidia is doomed.

Theyre changing the policy since they know theyre not losing any money by bringing their games to switch and ps4. The move to pc showed them exclusives dont sell consoles. People will still buy xbox even when halo is on switch and gears on ps4. Its just good business for microsoft.
