In a recent analysis, Hideki Yasuda criticized the #Sony Group's apparent obsession with stock prices at the expense of strategic business direction. During a hearing with #Sony, the company stated, "Even if PS5 sales are lower than PS4, it's not a problem because we're making a profit," a response that left Yasuda dismayed. This attitude, he argues, underscores a troubling acceptance of profit over genuine success, suggesting that Sony has given up on the #PS5 surpassing the #PS4 or competing effectively with #Xbox. Yasuda believes this approach prioritizes short-term investor satisfaction over long-term innovation. He also pointed out the need for more clarity in Sony's gaming strategy, questioning whether their goal is merely to make money, develop the #PlayStation brand, or achieve global dominance, even at the cost of alienating Japanese users. Yasuda condemned the company's vague management strategies, such as Jim Ryan's amicable departure, warning that such decisions could harm Sony's future.

Sony quietly removed the misleading "8K" emblem from the #PlayStation5 packaging, which many criticized as deceptive. When the #PS5 launched in 2020, the box prominently displayed the "8K" logo, falsely suggesting that the console could deliver 8K visuals. Despite the logo remaining on all PS5 versions sold since then, Sony recently eliminated it without explanation. This change, which was first noticed on Reddit, is unsurprising to those who viewed the original claim as an overreach, given the current limitations of video and gaming technology. Some #PlayStation users think Sony's removing the 8K logo is a ploy to reintroduce it on the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro packaging. Although #Sony hasn't confirmed the #PS5Pro, reports hint at a 2024 release. If true, the reappearance of the 8K insignia would serve as a marketing tactic to differentiate the Pro model from the base PS5. However, with 8K gaming still far from reality, Sony's deceptive branding strategy is likely to continue disappointing consumers.

Sony is set to launch a new model of the PlayStation 5 that supports an optional Blu-ray disc drive. This comes as part of the new all-digital PS5 slim models that are expected later this year. Interestingly, the optional disc drive will require an internet connection when paired with a console for the first time. This development has sparked debates among fans and experts alike. #Bluray #gamepreservation #InternetConnection #NewModel #OptionalDiscDrive #ps5 #Setup #sony

Sony's claims of the base model's untapped potential are nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Leakers and commentators like Kepler highlight that in today's tech landscape, where hardware designs have become standardized and optimization tools have reached unprecedented levels of efficiency, squeezing out additional performance from existing consoles is akin to chasing ghosts of bygone eras. Sony's attempt to peddle the #PS5 Pro to solve this illusory problem reeks of desperation, especially considering its lackluster improvements over its predecessor. The delayed realization that the PS5 is essentially a glorified #PS4 Pro, coupled with Sony's audacious move to market the Pro as a remedy for its shortcomings, only underscore the company's deceptive tactics and disregard for its loyal fanbase. #Playstation #Playstation5 #Sony #Gaming

On Monday, March 25, 2024, after just over 7 years of litigation, a Delaware federal court sided with Sony Corp. in Genuine Enabling Technology’s $500 million lawsuit against the maker of PlayStation. GET’s lawsuit (case number 1:17-cv-00135, filed in 2017) asserted that Sony's PlayStation products, including the PS3 console, DualShock 3 controller, PS4 console, DualShock 4 controller, and Move controller for motion-control gameplay, infringed on GET’s '730 Patent (Patent No. 6,219,730, Method and Apparatus for Producing a Combined Data Stream and Recovering Therefrom the Respective User Input Stream and at Least One Input Signal) by employing distinct frequencies for button inputs and motion control. Agreeing with Sony's argument that GET failed to provide enough evidence to prove Sony’s accused Bluetooth module was structurally equivalent to block 34 of Figure 4A in GET's patent under the function-way-result test, U.S. District Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg granted Sony’s motion for summary judgment. GET plans to appeal the decision to the Federal Circuit.
